The beloved icon of the famed children’s pizza parlor arcade was assassinated today. When asked for their motive, the particular justice involved individual said that the mouse was reinforcing negative stereotypes.

“Not all mice eat cheese. Chuck did not thoroughly represent the lactose intolerant members of the mouse community. All stereotypes are bad, and we need to address all of them, no matter how pointless or insane it may seem.”

Cheese is survived by his bandmates Jasper, Helen, Pasqually and Munch. Auditions have already begun to replace him with a more inclusive mascot.
