Buffalo Bill: not that amused

Hand over the Mozza & nobody get ‘urt! This just in via Ananova News: A group of Italian policemen have been busted for mozzarella bribes (demanding money is so old hat) in Campagnia, a region famous for its mozzarella cheese. According to investigators, the cops stopped delivery vans and forced them to hand over cheese or face fines. No black market motives were established; the cops apparently used the cheese for their consumption. The Italian Interior Ministry says 4 officers have been arrested and 5 more under investigation.

Worldwide Mozza Bulls association spokesbull Buffalo Bill had this to say: “We have long wearied of the shenanigans you humans will get up to in the name of food. It appears that those more exposed to sunnier climates get a little crazier than others about this”. He sighed on: “I suppose this will make for a good youTube video that will end up inspiring a movie down the line. As long as Hollywood understands that we’ll be on the lookout, and no, we will NOT accept royalty payments in cheese”.

Which begs the question: How much is a pound of mozzarella cheese in Campagnia anyway?
