'Enron CEO' Hit With A Pie In The Face In New York
Connor Gaydos, a man connected with a satirical project on the relaunch of the energy company Enron, was hit in the face with a pie in New York City on Thursday. A video of the moment surfaced where the 28-year-old is seen entering a building in New York City before a person threw a pie at his face....
Now this is vigilantism I can get behind.
Although it would be funnier if they hadn't pied themselves and had pied a real CEO.
Purely performative. Got it.
The UK has a long tradition of pieing awful politicians - and guess what? It gets a laugh and memable pictures, but changes nothing.
- Nigel Farage has milkshake thrown at him, protester gets a criminal record. Policies unchanged.
- Tony Blair gets pelted with purple flour. Protester gets a criminal record. Policies unchanged.
- John Prescott gets egged, punches protester in the face. No arrest, policies unchanged, Labor wins election, Prescott survives politically in government.
- Peter Mandleson, government spin docotor, has green custard thrown at him. Policies unchanged.

Just trying to make your day a little brighter.
Seems like the last vigilante would get behind too.
Lame. PR stunt.
Do it to a real CEO, and ditch the pie.
To be fair.. Not everyone is willing to risk it all and straight murder people, but still want to show their dissatsifaction with the system.
So just hand on face then?
Just like you are?
Before the UnitedHealthcare CEO assasination, it would've been. Now it's not.
Before, it would've had the message of maybe "we think a pie in the face and some public humiliation might make you fix your ways".
Now though?
Now the message it sends is "this could've been your public execution, and the world would've cheered."
That's pretty lame. There's way better things to do with CEOs in new york
I think part of the point is just to show that they can be touched. It would be like walking up and saying “bang bang” with finger guns instead of actually shooting them. It’s a way of going “I could have done it. You’d be dead if I wanted it. This is a reminder and a warning that you only rule because the plebs allow it.”
I agree, there are better things to do to CEOs, especially for companies as shitty as Enron. But if CEOs are on high alert like they are now, then a pie to the face would be a good way of keeping them anxious. It would tell them “your security failed. They need to succeed every time, but the masses only need to succeed once.”
I feel like this "CEO" and "birds aren't real" guy is just a self-promoter of the Jake Paul type, or like the guy who started "BumFights."
We finally have something going on that could really be a focus on the evils of corporate corruption, and there's some self-promoting manipulator who jumps aboard as quickly as possible to get some screen time.
It's really disgusting.
Staged for free advertising? It makes no sense for someone to attack a nobody, that "Enron CEO" is a title that has been given by himself.
Satirical company, so yes, that's all it is and nothing more.
Note: not actually the energy company.
I bet he was pissed but when he got home he felt quite lucky that was all it was.
They're bringing back Enron? Who's fucking idea was that?
It's a satirical company.
This is literally all publicity stunts.
satirical project on the relaunch of the energy company Enron
The new Enron might be a satire on crypto but it's more likely just another crypto grift
Was he pied by Bernie Sanders?
Now do trump.
I thought presidents get shoes
It is tradition, after all
Ideally with something denser and faster than a pie.
For sure. I’d settle for the pie though since he’s apparently so afraid of it.
Everything about this is lame.
So it begins...
👀🍿
(Grab ya popcorns, before these CEOs raise the prices)
Now they’ll get paid more. Hazard pay
Aw, lame. Thought it said "Pipe" and thought: yo?!
Almost everyone loves pie!
Times Now News?
Ha ha funny
Enron? Makes me think of Elían, or Furby. Dancing baby.
