    I don't get it????
  • Ovechkinsaid 25 weeks ago

    People would have to stare at this for a while to get it (small print) but I still like it.
  • warkdrockwav@gmail.comsaid 25 weeks ago

    No, people, normal people, at Soylent Green. [As well as the other Soylent products.]

    If we're doing a Soylent T, I'd prefer the outline of the woman in the mini-skirt, with the word furniture in all caps under it. Black on green. Probably wouldn't buy that either.
  • symphorasaid 25 weeks ago

    interesting concept. I like it.

    Soylent Green is the movie adapted from the SciFi novel "Make Room, Make Room" written by Harry Harrison, it starred Charlton Heston. Soylent Green, was the food of an overpopulated society that was "Made from the best stuff on earth" (people, hence the zombie crossover)

    Nah! Soylent Green lives on!!!
  • Yathwartsaid 25 weeks ago

    Yes, because that's what important when wearing a great shirt. That OTHER people understand and like it.
  • crazeecurlgurlsaid 25 weeks ago

    "It's people!!"

    ahh i hated the movie. my parents made me watch it. but its stuck with me. so im a fan of the shirt. :]
  • halfemptysaid 25 weeks ago

    Can you believe I already own a Soylent Green tshirt? But this one's combined with my other great love (zombies) and uggghhh I can't resist.

    (Woo, first teefury buy in months. I've missed giving you guys my money.)
  • MikeK47said 25 weeks ago

    I love zombies and soylent green. I must get this shirt.

    According to Wikipedia, they are looking to remake the movie. So it may be relevant (again) soon.

    So..... if you buy this now, you are ahead of the game.
  • Vox.Roboticasaid 25 weeks ago

    Nice design, but as a generally sloppy eater, I avoid white shirts.
  • mmochisaid 25 weeks ago

    The first thought that popped into my head was from Futurama. I might buy it... Too early to tell.

    Eh, it is ok. Not sure Soylent Green includes enough brain matter per ratio to make zombies happy.

    I do like the designer's avatar ... Thanos's Power Gems!

    Also, BRING BACK THE ARCHIVE! Not some crappy Facebook one! A REAL ONE! No purchases until you do!

    Technically it depends what zombie reference you believe. Zombies do consume bodies in mass amounts and the person is not alive the whole time. So yes they do eat the dead. If you want to be even more technical zombies do not require food. So :P

  • l11moonsaid 25 weeks ago

    Agreed (MikeK47).

    I acknolwedge that some research suggests an all brain diet for zombies:
    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38541

    But I believe there is a stronger case for the previous research that produced the, "traditional zombie food pyramid, which consists of five to seven daily servings of human hearts, three to four servings of livers or eyeballs, and two servings of brains."

  • Hallucinogenicsaid 25 weeks ago

    I'm really liking this. Seriously, it's Rikered to pump a corpse full of toxic chemicals, then place the corpse in a completely wasteful extravagant coffin, and then bury them together. At least run the corpses through a shredder and feed them to local wildlife, pigs or dump the sludge in the ocean. After consuming a lifetime of resources (or many lifetimes if you're a typical American), it's only right to give back. Ok, you can harvest useable organs first for patients who need transplants (unless you're an alcoholic who destroyed your own liver...no new liver for you), then mulch the rest.

  • Speckled Biscuitsaid 25 weeks ago

    Amusing.. But both zombies and soylent green are a tired concept at this point. Putting them together just makes me groan. *especially* with the whole 'hand from the grave' thing which is the 3rd horrible cliche here.

    TF, I want to buy a shirt that is random, wacky, unexpected, and open to interpretation!

  • jennimacsaid 25 weeks ago

    Kickin' it old school. Thank you, Tee Fury. How about some other good classics like "Dune" or "BladeRunner" too? Great design.
  • rjgspidersaid 25 weeks ago

    Yeah, this was pretty much an instant buy for me. I know there's the movie, but the same reference is also in one of my favorite role play games (RPGs) of all time, Xenogears. :) Plus, zombies are just awesome.
  • BenjaminPhantomsaid 25 weeks ago

    I also love the old sci-fi reference. Unfortunately, too many youngens on here are probably scratching their heads.
  • joshammansaid 25 weeks ago

    Am I the only one that doesn't like this? The layout is uninspired and the over-used "drips" make no sense. Is the dirt bleeding?
    I get the reference, it's just not that clever to me, sorry.

    So..... if you buy this now, you are ahead of the game.


    You shouldn't say "relevant (again)". For a few reasons.

    • Art is always relevant.

    • It's relevant because I can go to the movie store/online movie store and watch it tonight.
    (Which I'm absolutely going to do! Thank you!)

    • Just because the younger generation hasn't taken a bite of the Green, doesn't make it irrelevant. (BTW most of your favorite "adult" cartoons have made reference to the movie.

    • And the number one reason......... It's PEOPLE! SOYLENT GREEN....... IS PEOPLE!!!!!!

    Great shirt!

    ... and the last film in which the famed Edward G. Robinson (famous for gangster films) appeared. But this fact and "Soylent Green" are far too obscure cultural references for most people to get, and that renders this T pretty useless.

    By the way, the zombie reference is lost even on those who understand the rest of it. Making Soylent Green was a recycling project... feeding today's people using the bodies of the elderly (thus the importance of the role by aging star Robinson).

    It must be way tough to sell Ts that you you have to explain. It kind of defeats the purpose.

    And how do people think this is dated?! It's a freakin classic!! And hello artistic license. You can't complain that soylent green doesn't fit with zombies without also wondering how a zombie unwraps the bar...or how a hand sticking out of the ground is holding the bar? Or how two totally mythological things CANT be together? Argueing what a zombie would or wouldn't do is like argueing what count chocula would or wouldn't do. You can write any mythos for them! Isn't using your imagination FUN?!

    Yeah, I was consulted on it. In the comments of the vote, someone argued that Zombies would prefer fresh flesh instead of a ration. So I commented that Soylent Green was the Power Bar of choice for Zombies. That slogan flows much much better; and I was excited when they wanted to go with that change.

    Jimiyo deserves the credit on the illustration. It is similar to an idea that I had in my head but his design that he came up with is way better.

    I really like the idea of using Soylent Green as a Zombie suppliment, but I don't think this communicates it quickly enough. Text is a little small and it took me a minute to figure out the hand was coming from the ground instead of just a floating hand.

    I don't know why you, and others, say this. I am a high school teacher and I can tell you for a fact that many, if not most of the, students in my school know of this movie and would get the reference. I plan on wearing this proudly and garnering jealous praise from students.

    Simpsons has used it in at least one episode and some one else mentioned that it was also referenced in several other current adult shows. Even if the movie is an older classic the Soylent Green reference lives on outside of it.
    And I have to say from meeting her the daughter is the living embodiment of Ms. Quinn :)

    I don't know when. Been wondering the same thing myself. I dont think either will stop honestly. And if anything I think you're going to see a huge explosion of werewolves in anything. People are going to make werewolves trendy and then I'm going to be sad because they're the last cool thing not trendy yet. At least Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the show) and Angel were good. But I guess people forget those in this day of Twilight everything. I really wish Blade would kill that kid from Twilight and that girl just for the hell of it.
  • metalbutterflysaid 25 weeks ago

    I agree with a lot of these other people. Zombies probably wouldn't eat this because I'm sure it couldn't sustain them...They like living meals! :P
    Instant buy, nonetheless. Love it
