It was news to folks around the world that City Market in Seattle had put up a tasteless sign featuring a poorly drawn Amanda Knox advertising frozen pizza.

News outlets reported the “pizza joint” (false) put up the sign to welcome Knox home.

As it turns out, and as those familiar with the Capitol Hill neighborhood mainstay know, they put up tasteless signs all of the time. The Amanda Knox sign came down yesterday. In its place today was this sign featuring Ashton Kutcher:

Just as tasteless and it’s pretty disgusting. That Amanda Knox sign, that was just the norm for City Market.
