I like the idea of having enough money to do some large-scale heroism like this.

The deep dish, pretzel crust, and pepperoni stuffed crust pizzas at LC are great.
FractalFrame
And those are just the facts
iamlukenoyourenotmyfather
but never made a good pizzAA
Subsound
Yeah, they made...pizza
jcombs1
They’re all good pizzas, Bront.
FerdinandDaBull
But they're hot and ready

Black on Black Crime needs to stop.
sleepinggreenidea
If you really want that, best way to do it is reducing poverty rate in high-crime majority black communities. That your goal, or more po-po?

Meanwhile, at Papa Johns...
LadyMacDeath
Little Caesars is our go to pizza place because it's hot and ready and affordable. Plus we support good guys, unlike Papa John's
TheDadestDad
He also gave a ton of money to pro-life groups.

During the bullshit of '08 when GM and Chrysler were hurting he left their adds up at the Joe and Commercia for free.Llitch was Detroit.
beldive
I remember the buy 1 get one free pizza deal still love their breadsticks
CGWN
He contributed (a not insignificant amount) to the foundation that established the trust. It's not as though he did it all personally.
nojustsayitdont
Someone robbed and beat Rosa Parks. FFS.
GINGIVITISSS
It's HOT *sniff* and it's READY ?
SavagePatchKids
NotNotDeadpool
But is it good?
OrdinarilyBob
While not the best, LC Pizza is pretty decent. A solid C+. B- if especially fresh and/or when you factor in how inexpensive it is to buy.
PaintedSlate
See #1.
JCBalance
HOT and READY
GenesisNynja
Yes. They make their dough fresh daily and have a blend of mozzarella AND muenster cheese on their pizza. Plus I like the cheese bread
DexterDouglas
It's hot and it's ready.
sarabear
My appendix almost killed me in 2015, hospitalized 10 days, lost crazy weight. Came out craving LC like CRAZY, had never had it before 1/2
sarabear
2 & haven’t had it often since. Maybe the commercials on my hospital room TV brainwashed me? Anyway, special place in my heart for sure
IWantedOneOfThoseLongUsernamesTooSoIGotOne
It's the HOT and READY thing to do.
sickofmkingnames350
It used to be.

Good too tbf
Junktrunkjunkie
I speak from 7 years of experince. It's a crappy place to work. Doesn't care at all for it's thousands of employees, this was a nice →
Junktrunkjunkie
→gesture for Rosa but the company itself is awful. They will bleed you dry as an employee. Use every excuse not to give you a raise.
SJBSavageInk
Wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy her a house? Although I guess then he'd need to check on things that went wrong and have them fixed
zeacorzeppelin10
Then they fucked over the city of Detroit to build a new stadium and break every promise they made to build new infrastructure.
faygobud
Thank you. Fuck the illich corporation.
dabbycats
Where’s my pizza ?
UncleStansVintagePhotography
Bad people can do good things. Doesn't make them good.
counterfeitdreams
I think a lot of that was his son breaking promises. I think mike really wanted to help the city. His son is just about money. The tigers /1
counterfeitdreams
Went from one of the highest payrolls in baseball to one of the lowest after he died.
SirJamesMonster42
Dammit. I guess I'll have to give Little Caesar's another chance. For Mike.
RectalPunchfromHell
And you guys make fun of his pizza. He persevered and continued his business so he can help out rosa.
LazerHawkAttack
It wasn't fun at all, i was kinda sad and then kinda warm
MandrewJackson
The tag has spoken. You had fun.
IvorJBiggun
I think you just drunkenly urinated on yourself
LazerHawkAttack
That might be true
Baeloro
Little ceasars is the last true fast food Pizza worth buying. Everything else sucks and the prices aren't worth it.
sleepinggreenidea
Little Caesars isn't great pizza - it was better in the past than it is now - but it definitely does the price-to-quality ratio fairly.
Baeloro
If you eat it right out of the oven it's the best fast food pizza on the planet. Honestly better than places with $30 pies.
Baeloro
If it's cold or leftover, yeah not so much.
sleepinggreenidea
The old recipe was amazing cold. The new, not so much.
sleepinggreenidea
That REALLY depends. I find most of the time if I get one fresh out of the oven it's slightly undercooked, presumably so it can sit in the
sleepinggreenidea
heatbox longer w/o being overcooked. If you take than home and pop it in the oven for 5-10m, it's great - or if you get one that's been in
sleepinggreenidea
the heatbox for juuuuuust the right amount of time... (I still preferred the skinny square pizzas they made a couple of decades ago tho)
SixHundredThousandBees
RIP Rosa Parks as well as Mike Ilitch, who passed a few years ago
FuzorFishbug
But how tall was he?
mysticTaco
yourcommentisstupid
What?
shitheadtookmyname
Over 6ft, which means he was actually a real man
Jessee365
I would say doing this bc it was right, w.o publicizing it, whatever his height, is what made him a Real Man
shitheadtookmyname
Yeah I know I just like doing some kind of reverse troll thing because I'm actually short
Jessee365
Well you’re honest about it, so you do you
Vergenbuurg
…and the other side of the equation…

Beat me to it
TomBrokaw
Papa John's was never better anyway, they just added sugar to the sauce or the crust, not sure which, so it was sweeter
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
I love how the answer to every instance of "why does this mass-produced product taste so good??" is "because they add extra salt/sugar".
Lovemorhatem
God, you really suck for a grammar nazi.
BklynPunisher
Frozen store bought pizza is better than Papa Johns.
BklynPunisher
Papa Johns pizza sucks big floppy donkey dick. Tried Papa Johns once, never again.
peachesforme
my grandparents would always order it when they visited (which was rarely). it was horrible. only times i ever had it. we had so many 1
peachesforme
better options. hell the other chains would have been better not to mention the local places 2
PurpleSquare713
I used to love Papa Johns as a teen. Over the years, the quality of their pizzas took a dive and I eventually noticed. Dont order there now.
Bakerysnake
Rosa Parks died in 2005?
dabbycats
She was old , 92
Bakerysnake
Huh, I thought she died a lot earlier weird but then again I wasn't even in grade school back then
InkBandit
Apparently when asked why he never made this info public, he was just like “it was the right thing to do”
Kate316
I'd have replied, "because it's nobody's business."

Finally. THIS is the heart of the faith. Do without accolades. Support without knowledge. Simply do it. Because you must.
Chicagorooftop
He was really a prince of a man. Think how cynical all that BLM and pride endorsement stuff is lately.
ManyManyMothers
What do you mean?
Chicagorooftop
I mean that corporations do public promotions of BLM or Pride only to reap the PR benefits of seeming liberal. Ilitch was the real thing.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
I think they're refering to corporations' rainbow logos and #BLM commercials while paying donations to very anti-lgbt/BLM politicians

Same. And that username, wow, that’s old school Imgur stuff. Haven’t been reminded of that in a while.
ISeeNippleWithoutLittleKids
It's becoming more obscure and therefore weird. Might change it.

Charity made public is suspect of impure motives. Good deeds shouldn't be vaunted by the doer. You do it because it's right. Old School.
agoddamnferret
really the only time it should be in the spotlight is when another points it out
trowavo
but how will this increase your view count? /s
godskook
You'd think, but a lot of rich people are pillaried for failing to "do enough", and part of it that they're not fully vaunting what they do.
asanaustralianwhyareyourpostsupsidedown
That's their burden to bear, they can buy themselves something nice to make themselves feel better. Or just know the truth and not care.
godskook
Considering how many people on Imgur want to guilliotine the lot of them, I think you're trivializing something rather serious.
asanaustralianwhyareyourpostsupsidedown
If people bring the guilliotine, show them the paperwork. Until then who cares if strangers like you.
WarwickPuckerson
Ironically, this is a very conservative value. Fuck it, publicize all you want if that's what makes you want to do good.
JStengah
It's it's made public as self-promotion it's typically bad. If it's made public by someone else it's not. There's a big difference between a
JStengah
company giving tons of money to charities because they want to and ones that do it for tax purposes and then make an ad campaign out of it.
Jackhammer412
At the same time, displaying an act of kindness can help motivate others to do the same
Cats2cats
The best deeds are done when only a party of one knows their origin.
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
But it's still better that people want to do good things for clout instead of bad things
BortSamps0n
You are right but we won't get the upvotes for it. This website is filled with "old school" mentality
famousfornow
So is something good, done with ulterior motives, good or bad?
RoyalWithChz
Well the inverse is the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
VictusVonGuyver
Well, we had a recent issue with
Thisisheavydoc
That’s a difficult one. If companies didn’t get PR from charitable acts,they might not do them.The charities would ultimately lose.
erichooper2710
Kant would say no
MagnanimousWeasel
The act is good, but the person is a hard maybe
famousfornow
See that’s why I think good deeds should be shared. We don’t applaud the person who did it but celebrate with the person who benefited.
shimmerkitten
Then the person that benefited should be the one telling people about it. Not otherwise.
VictusVonGuyver
Depends, what's the consequence? i.e. Yes I did give 2 million to a hospital and had my name on it, but thankfully the good press helped >
VictusVonGuyver
cover the fact that both myself and my company didn't pay 900 million in taxes. I also organized a charity for my employees and promoted it
VictusVonGuyver
at every facility and with TV ads. They work minimum wage and need government benefits. But I can argue they don't need insurance...

He also played a huge role in Detroit's renaissance. Him and Dan Gilbert bought and restored a ton of abandoned buildings in the 2010s.

Back in the day someone threw a actual octopus on the ice at a Red Wings game and it became a part of their history.

Haha interesting, thanks !
