01/16/2004: Stuff That Doesn't Suck

Warren Ellis goes apeshit on anti-GMO hippie fucks

from his weblog die puny humans, in response to the question "don't you want your food to have stories?":

I have had sex on top of crop fields. Did you need to know that? No. "These potatoes were gently massaged by an 18-year-old girl's naked backside, and then kicked out of the soil by a 19-year-old boy's scrabbling feet when the farmer came for them with his bloody great shotgun." Let's see that on a retail information card in your local supermarket.

I've got a food with a story for you. Soylent fucking Green. It's got a story, a soundtrack and Charlton fucking Heston. Soylent Green is made out of people, and thank Christ for that because I fucking hate lentils. All the books say that people taste like pork.

Yeah, that's the story I want to hear. Organically-reared hippie, humanely slaughtered while making wicker basket. Presented to you freshly washed of all weak-minded bullshit intended to annoy the living fuck out of fragile writers first thing on a Thursday morning.
