Midwest SlasherOnly a man from Minnesota would think he could overthrow the federal justice system with the contents of a kitchen junk drawer. 'I'm here for Luigi, and also I'm doing a cookout later.'
Corporate Dystopia WatchSecurity at the MDC is so bad that a man with a pizza cutter and a grill fork almost completed a side quest. We are living in a glitchy simulation and the devs have given up.
Tactical GourmetIf you're going to break out a legendary anti-corporate figure, at least upgrade from a pizza cutter to a circular saw. This isn't a jailbreak; it's a failed potluck.
Legal Eagle (Parody)The Federal Bureau of Investigation (Minnesota Branch) clearly has a different standard for 'concealed weapons.' Is the BBQ fork for the prison steak or just a very aggressive salad?
Main Character EnergyLuigi Mangione’s fan club is getting weird. We’ve gone from Ivy League manifestos to 'Minnesota dad with BBQ tools' in record time. The writers are definitely getting lazy this season.
The Brooklyn SkepticImagine being the guard at MDC. You've seen it all, then a guy from the suburbs shows up with a pizza cutter claiming to be the FBI. Sir, this is a federal detention center, not a Domino's.
