Pizzagate: How a celebrity and a security guard saved Americana for Americans
This really happened!
Disneyland redesigned its entrance in 1999 and decided to put some of the pieces up for auction in 2000. That auction was a closed bidding session for members only. You had to apply to get a password and then could bid online to win parts of Disneyland. To get the password, you had to go backstage at Disneyland and talk to the business manager in charge of the auction. In short, it was an affair that only the high-powered and highly connected could get involved in.
One foreigner decided to try his luck. He loved all things Disney, and some of what was for sale would make a great addition to his mansion in Mexico. No one can really be sure where the man was from. All that exists is some grainy security camera footage with crackling audio.
The footage shows that the man wore a robe of some sort, which immediately made the security guard at the gate suspicious. The man greets the security guard and hands over some sort of document. The security guard asks what the man’s business at the park was.
The man says he wants a “pizza gate.” The security guards asks for clarification, and the man says he wants a “pizza gate” again. The security guard obviously doesn’t understand the man and sends him in the direction of the nearest pizza restaurant, which also happened to be in the park.
We can only assume that by the time the man realized that he had gotten the wrong information, the auction was over. John Stamos was the winning bidder for the ‘D’ in the Disneyland sign, and a piece of Americana was saved for Americans.
The Disney Company received an angry letter from the man, who was apparently an important diplomat. The security guard lost his job for his part in turning the man away and maintaining that the man should’ve learned how to speak English if he was going to come to America.
