Controversial pizza chain sign is removed after being deemed 'offensive' - TODAY

Cleveland.com held a live broadcast in front of the billboard before it was removed, asking viewers if they thought the sign was funny or offensive. Many people weighed in on both sides of the argument, with some pointing out this slogan has been around for a long time, and has appeared on T-shirts, bumper stickers and in various memes.

The back-and-forth over the sign played out online where many people still supported it.

“This is funny. People need to stop being so sensitive and get a sense of humor!” wrote person on Facebook.

“It’s hilarious honestly. Stop acting like being fat isn’t common yet preventable. Some people like being fat others," Posted another.

Others argued that the messaging was insensitive and shouldn’t be tolerated under any circumstances.

“Definitely not funny! Body shaming is a real thing! How abt saying skinny ppl are easy to kidnap? With all the human trafficking now how is it funny?”

“Poking fun at human trafficking is not ok.”

The billboard came down on Monday afternoon but Clemetson's team has not deleted Facebook posts that featured the signage from earlier this month. A spokesperson for the corporate office of East of Chicago Pizza did not immediately respond to TODAY’s request for comment.

Whether his sign was offensive or not, Clemetson certainly succeeded at garnering attention for his local business.
