Anyone who watched the series Breaking Bad will readily remember the 'pizza on the roof' scene, where the main character (protagonist? antagonist? that-does-not-apply-tagonist?) threw a pepperoni pizza onto the roof of his house in a moment of anger. Well, it turns out that the house used in the series really does exist in Albuquerque, NM, and a older couple live there. Of course the locals have known this for years. And something that has become somewhat popular is stopping by.... and throwing a pepperoni pizza on the roof. The creator of Breaking Bad has publicly asked people to stop doing this:

It is also illegal for several reasons as well as being morally wrong to leave people with this mess on their roof.
All of that said, I think this is hysterical!!! I only wish I had known this when the series was actually on and I lived 1,000 miles closer 'cause I would stop by..... with a pizza. Too funny! Hey, I feel bad for the people who live there and understand why it is not funny to them, and really, I guess it is only funny to me because I just found out about it but c'mon, that HAD to be funny the first time or two. I can only imagine the conversations between the elderly people who live there:
Martha, did you put a pizza on the roof?
What is the weather like outside? Sunny, warm and it smells like pepperoni.
Henry, you really need to clean the pizza out of the gutters before winter!
And so forth....
three times!
