Pie in the Face - 03

Pieing is the act of throwing a pie at a person. This can be a political action when the target is an authority figure, politician, or celebrity and can be used as a means of protesting against the target's political beliefs, or against a perceived flaw — arrogance, hubris — in the target's character. Perpetrators generally regard the act as a form of ridicule to embarrass and humiliate the victim. In some U.S. states 'pieing' may conform to definitions of battery, but not assault. 'Pieing' was originally a staple of slapstick comedy. Pie tosses are also common charity fundraisers.
