Cost to Throw a Pie in Ann Coulter's Face: $915
"The second of two men accused of throwing cream pies at nationally syndicated columnist Ann Coulter pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Monday. William Zachary Wolff, 25, who now teaches English in Argentina, entered his plea during a telephone conference call, said Wolff's attorney, R. Antonio Felix.
"Wolff was fined $250, but the fine will be suspended if he pays $915 in restitution to the University of Arizona for damage caused to a backdrop screen during the incident. In exchange for his plea, disorderly conduct and criminal damage charges were dismissed, said Deputy Pima County Attorney Noah Van Amburg.
"According to police, Wolff and Phillip Edgar Smith threw tofu cream pies at Coulter as she spoke to 2,500 people at the UA's Centennial Hall on Oct. 22, 2004. They missed but splattered a black muslin backdrop."
Full story from the Arizona Daily Star.

That's all? I would pay several times that.
Are we allowed to put broken glass in said pie?

Ahhh, Centennial Hall. I saw the Dave Matthews Band there, and two rows in front of me was Saundra (Saunie) Taylor, the dean of students.
I always wondered if she pretended not to smell the massive amounts of marijuana smoke throughout the theater.
