World's Largest Pie Fight Goes Down Uptown

There's nothing more fun and satisfying than throwing a pie at someone, and today plenty of people got to do just that outside of ABC Studios on the Upper West Side as they participated in tossing pies for the World’s Largest Pie Fight. This all went down during filming for “Live with Regis & Kelly.”, where participants attempted to break a new record in the Guinness World Records book. Did they succeed? Did any passerby get creamed? So many questions!

Watch some video here. We hear the pies came from Stew Leonard's, and according to the show's Twitter, they donated "$10 for every pie thrown to the Meals on Wheels Association of America!"

What an absolute disgrace to even consider something so ridiculous as this. Half of the world are starving to death for christs sakes!

Shouldn't Obama end garbage like this?

Yeah, because the President, among other things, controls pie fights.

What a bunch of shitheads.

Switch the pies for live handgrenades and let's use this opportunity to cleanout our gene pool a bit.

Too bad Stew Leonards didn't donate some canned tomatoes so someone could shut Regis' pie hole...permanently.

If I were the baker of the pies.

I would have it hollow in the middle,

so that when thrown, no one gets hurt.

And it saves money and ingredients.

I would put a pool ball in the middle of some maybe 12 and quietly leave the room chuckling to myself. Pie Ball Face

I believe the second picture is of the prototype for all female characters in any Wallace and Gromit cartoon.

"Matthew, do you 'flash mob'?? I read a story by Jen Carlson today saying how that is the "in thing" to do for today's young people. "

At least your mom doesn't get her news from the Post like mine.

matty

I hate how jen thinks she has the pulse on today's young people. Stories like these are what my mom reads about today's youth.

What are you talking about?

Too bad those pies weren't full of hand grenades. Fucking waste of food. Fuckheads

Jen S

I hate when food is wasted for pleasure like this. Think of all the hungry people in the world, in this city, who'd put these pies to better use.
