[edit] Swiss-Italian cheese

  • This article is 100% BS. Swiss-Italian cheese simply does not exist. It does not have hallucinogenic properties, nor is it an aphrodisiac, nor do people eat it, because it is non-existent. The sources are not backed up in any manner, the "Political fallout" section is a bad attempt at satirical humor. This needs to be Deleted. --Klestrob44 05:39, 9 August 2005 (UTC).
    • Quote from Article:

Political Fallout The liberal American media has downplayed the role of Swiss-Italian cheese in George W. Bush's War on Terror, claiming that its properties have not affected the morale of the soldiers to whom it is being provided in the popular Papal Cheesesteak meals-ready-to-eat (MREs).

Democratic senators voted for the Papal Cheesesteak MREs in recent legislation, citing the fact that the cheese contains immense amounts of protein and low sodium, but blatantly ignoring its narcotic properties and high flammability.

Conservatives have consistently devised linguistic tricks to turn the populace against Swiss-Italian cheese--primarily through Rush Limbaugh's constant jabbering induced by large amounts of the Swiss-Italian cheese itself. Liberals point out the contradiction, but Limbaugh insists he doesn't eat the cheese while on the air. It is a fundamental right, he says, to be able to consume the cheese in the home--unless, of course, you are unemployed, a minority, homosexual, a Democrat, ugly, poor, Alan Colmes, or any combination thereof.

Religious Use Swiss mountain men have used the cheese in religious ceremonies for centuries. It is served on a fine, hand-tooled platter of gold harvested from Lombard caves and mines. No women are allowed to touch the sacred platter at any time, and children are told an old Swiss mountain folk tale about being turned into rats by touching the Holy Platter. According to recently uncovered Persian scrolls, Jesus ate from the Swiss-Italian Holy Platter during his secret pilgrimage with Mary Magdalene to the Swiss Alps in 28 A.D.


  • Abstain. Patent nonsense like this is a candidate for speddy deletion. --Wetman 09:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • The Possibility of This Article Being Deleted is Ridiculous. This article is absolutely TRUE. I have been a lifelong member of the Cheese Guild of Europe and I can attest to its complete authenticity. Your reference sources are far too thin to encompass the very broad classes and distinct types of cheese, and based on this fact alone you should not dismiss the article as hogwash; doing so is an insult to Wikipedia's accuracy and abhorrent as supposed authorities on the subject of cheese. By the way, there is no such word as "speddy."
  • BJAODN for both the article and the comment above. The nuts never seem to leave their signature. Karmafist 13:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This would be a first-rate article in Uncyclopedia, but doesn't belong here. stephenw32768 18:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I have already begun to clean up this horrible mess of an article, and I think it can be saved yet -- anon
    • Wait- "saved"?, the article is based off of an imaginary thing that has never been referenced to anywhere. It's not worthy to be in any encyclopedia, seeing as how encyclopedia generally have things that exist in either reality or fiction. It needs to be deleted. --Klestrob44 00:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Dongs. Let's keep things in perspective. Who's the pivot man this round?


  • Delete. Patent nonsense. Dr.frog 15:14, 10 August 2005 (UTC)


  • Delete. Enjoyed the satire, but it doesn't belong in wikipedia. --Morten 21:18, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree that this article CAN be cleaned up with a little work, I mean there are 588,000 hits on a google search for swiss italian cheese and there are 2 entire hits on google search for "swiss italian cheese " and only one of them is this page, whcih makes it a real thing, according to at least one webpage--152.163.100.7 23:01, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Huh? That second hit google comes up with is for the "Lugano Swiss Italian Cheese Market" in Lugano, which is a cheese market, not a kind of cheese. You'll have to make some other argument that this stuff really exists, much less has the properties described in the article. Dr.frog 23:26, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment You put in just about any common noun and you'll get thousands to hundreds of thousands of hits on Google. You put three together, well... Karmafist 13:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Speddy delete before this advertising raises the worldwide price of Swiss-Italian cheese, which topped $65 a barrel just yesterday, prompting military members to hoard PCS MREs. Fg2 10:09, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete I live in Switzerland and I have never heard or read about any such nonsense. --62.167.143.193 10:35, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Complete hoax. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:07, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to a subset of the List of things in the Government Warehouse-Wiki --Simon Cursitor 11:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Move this articule to BJAODN, then delete it - speddily. That way, the secret of this cheese will be all ours mwahahaha! Grutness...wha? 12:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
