Pie in the Sky
Pie them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure

A network of satellites tasked with tracking obnoxious individuals, including but not limited to politicians, pundits, middle managers with delusions of grandeur, professional athletes, etc., and, upon receiving the proper signal, dispatching a Pie Delivery Vehicle, or PDV, to intercept their face with a cream pie. The PDV would rely on a mechanism similar to Space Ship One for reentry. Its fuselage would be just large enough to contain a single cream pie and a catapult mechanism to fling the pie at the target once the PDV glides to near ground level.

This scheme could be funded by a web site similar to that proposed by Public Subscription Assassination, specifically, the pie version proposed in the annotations.

       Someone, somewhere is actually working on a more sinister version of this - effectively a pod of unmanned Predator-type aircraft in orbit. They can be released individually and arrive at any point on the planet within fifteen minutes. It is unclear whether they are to be armed or not. There are no references to this on the net and you didn't hear it from me ;-). I would [+] the real thing as well if it delivered pies!
