A Pizza is still a Pizza, except in Iran

According to the AP, Pizza in Iran will now be referred to as "Elastic Loaves."
This is due to Iran attempting to block Western Influence.
"Ray’s Elastic Loaves, can I help you," doesn’t have the same ring to it.

How not to issue an apology

So we all know about Mel Gibson getting busted for Drunk Driving.
Two stories are emerging from a PR perspective out of this.
