Here are a bunch of photos from yesterday of really long lines of people waiting to take advantage of Pizza Patron's "controversial" order in Spanish, get a free pizza deal. Pizza Patron gave away 120,000 pizzas in the deal; some locations ran out of pizza and customers received coupons for free pizza instead. (The company had expected to give away about 80,000.) So while a few people thought the deal "seems to punish people who can't speak Spanish," 120,000 people thought saying "Pizza, por favor" was worth it for free pizza.
