I fail to see the problem

The scientific consensus has been settled, your pseudoscience conspiracy theories have been debunked.

Now, consume product and get excited for next product.
It’s good for Blackrock and the stock market.

"Soylent green is people." Detective Thorn, Soylent Green, 1973.

At least it’s not green.

Charlton H. said...

It's peeeeople

So, "Soylent Green" is now a reality?

Anonymous said...

Ha, I'll wait for the low fat version.

I hear the green is particularly tasty.

Ads for this product have been running on Facebook for months, for most of that time I thought it was a joke. A pretty stupid joke IMO, but I guess the joke's on me, apparently this is real.

Good movie.

I agree you have to be an idiot for that 50-year leap of logic to bother you.

The name "Soylent" was deliberately chosen by the inventor because of its association with the book and movie. People can debate whether it was a good or bad choice, but it wasn't an unthinking one.

One of the more unfortunate product names ever was the Chevy Nova, at least in terms of the Mexican auto market. Nova is Spanish slang for "no go." The car didn't sell well in Mexico & other Spanish-speaking countries - a well-known story, sorry to bore readers who may have heard it before.

I know it will ruin the joke, but someone please explain this to me!

Once had a Nova, it certainly went!

Donald Sutherland was the perfect creepster for that part

Why on earth would anyone ever name a consumable "Soylent". Incredible. Unless its actually.......

Watched Soylent Green with my youngest child (daughter, 15) just recently. She was oddly enough extremely entertained by this movie and the ending had her mouth agape.

Things I don’t get…

Annual prostate exams
AARP direct mail

We baby-boomers sometimes need to be reminded that we have become the old farts. These kids who are now adults never heard of some popular phrases that we have long ago forgotten. Soylent Green jogs the memory of this old fart.

9:03 Short version is that in the dystopian future there is a shortage of food, and the Soylent Co. sells a food product called Soylent Green that the hero of the movie discovers is made from dead humans. The movie stars Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson, in his last role.

Well 11:50 just remember that with age comes wisdom.

Soylent has been around for nearly a decade now. It is literally where the “soyboy” meme originated after the bernie bro crowd needed a special device to open the bottles. They were posting pictures on reddit and claiming that it was too hard to open the twist cap.

3:21 : If the humans are food then it's a given that they are dead. Just sayin.

Anonymous said...

I think it was a solution to the homeless crisis, right? They were initially rounding up living people. But after eliminating homelessness, they may have turned to processing dead bodies of the elderly. Also, women were furniture? It's been a while.

I’ll wait for the vegan version….

@7:59
Not all women were furniture. The luxury condo where Heston investigated the murder, had some beautiful women who would be “included with the place” if you chose them. They called those specific women furniture.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
