Who wants a big, juicy slice of Tootie Pie?

Tootie I'd probably be called a pervert if I went around asking women, children and animals, "How far would you go for a Tootie Pie?" But throw it up on a site named HowFarForATootiePie.com, and it’s called “viral marketing.” Not to be confused with Pootie Tang — the man who whups ass so fast, you can write it off on your taxes — Tootie Pie Company is a Texas bakery specializing in mail-order pies. The company announced yesterday it was taking the Web by storm with its new site, offering to let “everyone get a ‘taste’ of Tootie Pie thanks to a series of videos, both scripted and submitted by fans.” So far, the pickins are slim, although there’s a lot of gold to be found in the five-minute clip of women doing shots and proclaiming their vaguely Sapphic love of hand-made pies with lines like, “Tootie Pie, I’ve waited all night to have a piece of you,” and, “Who needs a husband? I want some Tootie Pie.” Oh man, I don’t care if their logo features Kim Jong Il, I am ordering me some Tootie Pie.

LOL. This is too much. I'm not even sure I like Tootie.

Thank you for the Pootie Tang reference. Wish me luck on my History test.

Tootie Pie? Sounds like something that falls out of my leather-cheerio when I rip a bowl fart.

Where's the obligatory "Facts of Life" reference?

I live 10 miles south of Tootie Pie Boerne, TX store front. Now I will have to go buy one.

So, I went to my parent's restaurant last night and told them about Tooties. My step father laughed and said he's been selling their pies for months, rebranded as his own. I tasted the apple. Eh. Big deal.

Gotta tell you I like Costco's $8 pie vs. Tooties $30 one. As for their new site,... we'll see. It was entertaining I guess.
