I thought this was an incredible idea, and I think everyone should think about getting one. The only shortcoming I see to this invention is that it doesn't take the possibility of zombie attacks into account.

BWahahahahah!
The stupid shit people can come up with never ceases to amaze me.

This was great:

Given I am no expert, but I would say zombies would be afraid of the marshmellowy shell that is the Haliburton ball. You know how zombies hide in fear at the sight of marshmellowy goodness.

Is it just me, or did #18 on the diagram look like it could have been named "the place to pee"

Just saying... a piss pot is very important.

I think i can vouch for this. I love marshmellows, have eaten them, even put them in my cocoa.. and have never been attacked by zombies while eating the sweet nectar of life that is the mellow.

That's a fairly comprehensive parody website. I'm impressed. That, in case you don't get it was a prank, is the Yes Men, a group of people who impersonate officials of corporations, governments and action groups with whom they disagree, and present falsified information about the actions of said groups/governments/corporations.

In another event, they posed as officials from DOW Petrochem, accepted responsibility 'on behalf of the company' for the Bhopal chemical spill, and said that a victim compensation fund was being set up. In reality, DOW stated that it had nothing to do with the accident and thus wasn't planning to set up a 'victim's' fund. DOW reiterated this after the event staged by the Yes Men, which apparently caused a bit of confusion.

They continued similar stunts in this vein for some time, eventually culminating in another anouncement by Yes Men posing as DOW officials stating that they considered death acceptable, so long as the venture made a profit. Recriminations ensued.

I have to say, amusing on the surface as some of this is, it seems in rather poor taste. The first announcement ("DOW" taking responsibility) was made on BBC World Television network, and was transmitted around the globe. It seems as though there are better ways to help the people of Bhopal than making light of their situation and providing them with false hope, on a global television network. But I'll get off my soapbox.

did they mention marshmellows at all? or zombies?? I think we are risking a serious "spitting Cobra" problem as well, as the face is not too protected.

They covered that at that college, i think ... the whole "McRE-processed foods for third world" angle.
