This was a real event, just recently. I got a kick out of this.

"We need something like whales, but infinitely more abundant," said "NPC rep" "Shepard Wolff" (actually Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men), before describing the technology used to render human flesh into a new Exxon oil product called Vivoleum. 3-D animations of the process brought it to life.

"Vivoleum works in perfect synergy with the continued expansion of fossil fuel production," noted "Exxon rep" "Florian Osenberg" (Yes Man Mike Bonanno). "With more fossil fuels comes a greater chance of disaster, but that means more feedstock for Vivoleum. Fuel will continue to flow for those of us left."

boykster:
It's people. The fuel is made out of people. They're making our fuel out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for fuel. You've gotta tell them.

I never did like Yes. Figured they were up to something like this based on that wacky music.

shorthair:
Well, it's obviously not a new idea, but I thought it funny as hell they did this at such a function, and got away with it for so long into the presentation. HAH.

patrickl:
Lol, like Soylent Green.
