This image is now floating all over the net (I first saw it at
Wonkette), along with similar pictures of basically the same billboard. Hell Pizza Deliveries is a pretty big New Zealand chain, with an engaging menu. (The Damned has avocado, camembert, cashews, fresh spinach, sundried tomatoes, black pepper, mushrooms, onions, pineapple. What, no skewered flesh of sinner?) But check out the

Madison, Wisconsin, where you expect those people to be communing with Satan.
