Not sure if this deserves it's own thread but made the mistake of commenting on Fiona Apple video in which she screams "F Trump" at the end - I honestly did not remember her and asked before the song even got going...got bunch of anti-Trump bots attacking me now in comments. One mentioned she was raped at 12 and is a hero for surviving it and being an artist, another said I had s**tty music tastes and cannot appreciate good artists, etc etc etc...so I decided to go check out her regular material to see just who she is.
I search Fiona Apple, filter by # of views and "Criminal" from 7 years ago is top result. The lyrics sound like a young girl sexualized too young to me but I'm no poet/song lyric expert and the references are not nearly as blatantly sexual as the video is.
The video, on the other hand, could easily be interpreted as a young girl being sexualized too young and/or having done sexual things too young.
Long story short, as I was watching I noticed a brief and odd pizza reference at the 38s mark: https://youtu.be/FFOzayDpWoI?t=36s
Now, I would not have even noticed that before pizzagate...I know it is very obscure and probably not even noteworthy but with the tone of the video, her portraying a sexually active young girl and for no reason at all, they decide to put a 2 second clip of pizza in there? Seemed odd to me.
So my question: Is there a thread that serves as a catch-all for odd/obscure pizza references in pop culture? Obviously, the Miley Cyrus level stuff isn't obscure/odd but like I said, not sure this 2 second bit from a 7 year old video deserves it's own thread....

She was just trying to be edgy lol, like all those 'oh so post modern' 90s stars. I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you. She was a hot young thing, so yes, I'm sure she had a million dirty old men scamming on her. The Olsen twins intrigue me. Can we assume that all the guys they date/are married to, are perves? I mean, to be with women who have undeveloped bodies and look like 11 year old girls means you're a sicko right?

I think you're misunderstanding...I don't find her to be a 'hot young thing' (then or now) - I was just finding it curious that she included a random pizza cameo in a video of hers that has clear sexual connotations. And since it was such an obscure thing, was wondering if there was a catch-all thread for such things in case there were just-as-obscure connections from them.
