gollark: I'm blocking you until I can consult with my lawyers.
gollark: You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status.
gollark: LIES!
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture.
gollark: Someone made this a while back for some reason I forgot.
