 Popular U.S. pizza chain Papa John's faces a $250 million class-action lawsuit for blasting customers with illegal text messages. The plaintiffs allege that Papa John's franchises sent customers a total of 500,000 unwanted messages in early 2010. The spam texts offered deals for pizza, and some customers complained they were getting 15 or 16 texts in a row, even during the middle of the night, according Donald Heyrich, an attorney representing the class. The pizza franchises sent the text blasts through a mass text messaging service called OnTime4U, which is also a defendant in the case. When Papa John's was first sued in April 2010, the franchises allegedly ended their involvement with OnTime4U's text program, after the pizza company informed its corporate stores and franchisees that sending unsolicited messages to cellphones "is most likely illegal." |

wtf i thought this was going to be about getting SPAM on my pizza, now im both hungry & disappointed :(
Boycott PAPA JOHNS, since the owner threatened to lay off a bunch of employees since his candidate lost. I will never eat there again.
Support local pizza.
I always thought their pizzas tasted like frozen pizza. Now, that I read that they were texting folks relentlessly, and that he's talking about cutting employees hours, so he can get out of paying health care for his employees, I won't do business with Papa Johns again.
Harley Girl, I completely agree with you!! All the money this man has and he denies his employees health coverage!! I wont do business with him either!! Only the rich!!

That's Papa Johns!
Almost as bad as Peyton Manning in every other commercial. Especially on NFL Network. If it isn't that car commercial, its the Papa John's commercial.
