Guðni Th. Jóhannesson was at a school when he was asked if he liked pineapple on pizza. He jokingly said no and that it should be banned. The local tabloid press made it out that he said he was going to ban it. Afterwards he did say that he could not ban it and that he was glad that he couldn't. A free press is a wonderful thing, sort of.

With many thanks from Japan. I look forward to this, Q.I. and Mock The Week every week.

“Pineapple on pizza”..... Yes, it’s a great Aussie topping!!!!!! Best wishes from Australia.

Cheers. I needed a giggle.

That pizza issue is another example of the media taking things way out of proportion. The president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked about his opinion about pineapple as a topping on pizza and he simply claimed he didn't like it and if he could he would ban it. Basically, trying to score a few points with the youngsters because we here in Iceland know the president doesn't have that power - and even if he did, we would ignore it ...and he has also stated that even if he did have such power to ban toppings on pizzas he wouldn't do so. As ludicrous as it sounds, he even apologized in a Canadian radio talk show for his joking comment ...but still, I'm just glad we don't have a moron for President (as the USA has - and we here in Iceland could have, because a self-proclaimed Trump fan ran against our President and only got 8% of the vote).

To be fair, the president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked what his opinion was on pineapple as a topping on pizza. He said he was totally against pineapples on pizzas (basically, just stating his personal preference like we all have) and if he could he would ban it (jokingly, because the president of Iceland doesn't have such power). Many tabloids totally took it out of context; so much so the president said even if he would have the power to ban it he would not do so. Sadly, yet another case of the media blowing things way out of proportion.
