500,000 Free Slices Of Pizza?

Rumor has it that 500,000 free slices of pizza will be handed out in Times Square today. That seems like a lot to me. Dubbed "The World's Largest Pizza Party," this distribution of slices is apparently supposed to promote a pizza sponsored diet? Sounds more like a PR stunt.

The press release states that, "giant scales will be displayed in Times Square with local health officials assisting those looking to shed a few pounds by eating America's favorite meal: pizza."

Truth be told, I'm pretty much already on a pizza diet. I don't need an event in Times Square to know that you can stay trim when eating a ton of pizza.
