President Johanneson visited the high school of Akureyri to visit history classes and then took a talk about the old students he knew at the auditorium. The last one was a question and answer corner. The president replied that Manchester United liked the question "What is your favorite soccer team?"

And it was a question about pizza with pineapple left out. President Johanneson, who was questioned for his opinion, told the story that he declined the pineapple topping firmly and wanted to make a law that prohibits pineapple pizza.

Although it seems to be a joked content, the content has been diffused by Twitter and other online media, President Johannesz has become obscure on his own Facebook page.

According to the president, "I do not dislike pineapple, I dislike pineapple on pizza", and recommended that it is seafood.

As to the remarks related to the law, "I do not have such power and I am glad that it is, the President should not have unrestricted power, if I have such power, I do not want to be in the position and do not want to live in such a country. "

The President of Iceland will be elected by a citizen's direct election, but since the administration is responsible for the prime minister and the Cabinet, unlike the President of the United States, it has no ceremonial authority. The position of being "elected by election" is different, but in Japan it is likely that the Emperor, Britain, is closer to the position of Queen Elizabeth. Although I know that it is impossible to say such a thing to the last, if these two people say "I want to put a pineapple in sweet and sour pork, I want to make a law to ban" ......, regardless of how much casual place it is, it certainly will make a big noise.
