Soylent Green is people!

[debgeisler]

A number of years ago, Fuddruckers opened a restaurant in the town to the north of us...and on their wall, they had a poster that read:

By the People.
For the People.

Mike and I looked at the poster, looked at each other, and exclaimed, "OF the People???"

It was a Soylent Green moment.

Fuddruckers has remodeled in the last few months, and the poster is now gone (after 10+ years of being proudly displayed).

Now, Fuddruckers is running a new campaign, featuring burgers made of ostrich, elk, wild boar, and buffalo (well, bison). And the tag line of the campaign -- proving that some companies just don't seem to think the way we do -- is "Are YOU game?"

It is *another* Soylent Green moment.

<sigh> I heard that the only Fuddruckers in the metro had closed. OTOH, it was (is??) way on the other side of town from us, and didn't often get there. Good burgers (despite their apparent choices of meats!).

Somehow, I suspect that there is buried in a cubical in the advertising department, a fan who remembers that movie.

Knowing Fuddruckers, I suspect it's intentional.

I haven't been to a Fuddruckers in ages, and I see there are now four in Massachusetts!

The burgers are good...but now I do find myself wondering where the meat comes from...
