05/10/2004 Entry: "Shrek Crap: Volume III."

It's not easy being green and everywhere.

In Shrek Crap: Volume III, a not-so-untypical promotional rampage takes a turn for the more insane, as DreamWorks' star ogre establishes himself ahead of every other movie character in history as the one with the most junk food named after him. I'm always surprised at how far the various studios and snack companies will go with this sorta stuff, but I just can't see any flick coming along and matching Shrek's thoroughosity (new week, new word) punch for punch. Many would call it overkill -- and it probably is -- but it's still sorta fun to see the entire planet renegotiate itself into a living advertisement for Shrek 2.

Maybe it's the best way to go. We're told daily that these are troubled times, that we're living through a period of intriguing disharmony. If splattering Shrek's green head on every other street corner and on every kind of soda bottle helps to take the edge off, why the Hell not? And why stop there? Next time Bush interrupts our regularly scheduled programming, tack a Shrek button on his jacket. Have him glumly begin the speech, building everyone's worst fears only to reveal that the conference was being held to introduce 9 Lives' new "Puss In Boots Chicken" flavor. If we could persuade everyone in the world to shift their attention to Shrek 2 and Shrek 2 Doritos, I bet people'll convert their secret fallout shelters into secret Shrek worship altars in no time. Stupid yes, but a lot less macabre. I don't know if Shrek can save the world, but he sure can make a trip to 7-11 more surreal.

In Shrek Crap: Volume I, we helplessly witnessed the arrival of Shrek's popcorn, Fruit Roll-Ups, fruit snacks, Go-Gurt (yogurt wands, because we needed them), and a marshmallow-filled cereal fortified with animated wonder.

In Shrek Crap, Volume II, Baskin Robbins hopped on the bandwagon with eighty different Shrek-related ice cream flavors featuring worms as a prevalent theme. Even more interesting was Shrek's new brand of Waffle Sticks, including "green swamp syrup." Rounding out the lot was Betty Crocker's Shrek cookies, Shrek Kudos bars and Shrek's Swampy M&Ms. A whole lotta Shrekkin goin on.

Can Shrek Crap: Volume III top the previous installments? Depends on how interested you are in Sierra Mist-flavored Slurpees. If that's your bag, Volume III is God.

On the trip back home from scouring Easy Video over in Woodbridge for more cheap movies and expired candies, a banner on a roadside 7-11 caught our eye. That's right, folks -- the official Shrek Slurpee. With all of the hooplah, if Shrek 2 banks anything less than seven billion dollars during the first three hours of its opening day, someone at Dreamworks will be sent to the firing squad. You know, to get shot.

Let me remind you that I'm only covering the sorta kinda oddball items. Shrek's reach extends much further; he's on all the chip bags and soda cans as well. If interested, 7-11 is certainly a good place to begin your Shrekquest. With innumerable sightings of the ogre's head on virtually everything sold within, the only thing I noticed without a Shrek connection were those strange chicken eggroll deals they had rolling around inside a Hot Machine. My theory: Shrek has his standards.

The famed Slurpee™ machine boasted few flavors I was familiar with, but the "Shrek-a-Licious" Sierra Mist Slurpee is a new kind of tasty danger. I can't say for sure what we the people feel about Sierra Mist, but I'd rather drink liquefied elephant skin. There's just something about it I find completely foreign and disgusting, and the leading candidate for what that something might be is Sierra Mist's flavor: liquefied elephant eyeballs. I feel the same way about Mountain Dew, though, so opinions may differ.

Regardless, the fact that 7-11 was willing to let Shrek take over the Slurpee section is a huge, huge deal. We're talking about holy ground sacred territory end-all be-all place to be. An endorsement from Slurpee Center is about as good as having God spread the clouds. hang his giant face over the horizon and yell about what an A-rate movie Shrek 2 is. In some ways it's even better, since most of the world is more into Slurpees than religion.

Another view of the machine, because you can never have enough.

The 7-11 ran out of official plastic souvenir Shrek glasses, which they described in those very same terms. "Plastic souvenir Shrek glasses? Sorry we're out." Daunted but not defeated, I used one of the regular crappy cups and found solace in the fact that it was appropriately green.

As mentioned, I think it tastes pretty awful. Guess it's passable if you're into Sierra Mist, but I've yet to encounter a soul who is...maybe we've hit an impasse here. Mist fans, know that you're in a minority. Speak up. Demand your rights.

7-11 also housed a more widely available slice of Shrek crap, and I still can't believe it exists. I'd heard the rumors, oh yes, but who woulda thunk Chester Cheetah capable of disgorging Cheetos that turn your tongue green? Cheetahs are so rarely magicians.

It's no joke. Shrek 2 Cheetos Twisted look perfectly natural and orange, but as you chew, you mock photosynthesis.

Quit mocking photosynthesis, ya jerk.

Something interesting: how many poor souls will go to a 7-11 or some other deli, grab a bag of Cheetos but not really look at it because nobody really looks at bags of Cheetos, and find themselves in the position of having green shit all over their mouths with no idea why there's green shit all over their mouths? Thousands, I'd bet. In the time it took me to fuck up this paragraph, I bet six more people gunned to the emergency room with a spontaneous case of the ol' greenmouth.

And if that's not a reason to love Shrek...

There they are. Cheetos with superpowers. See how normal they look? Like if someone was coloring Q*Bert and didn't want to switch crayons when they got up to Enemy Snake Coily? Even those with amazing eyesight would fail to note any differences between these twisted Cheetos and regular twisted Cheetos. I've created this small presentation to introduce you to the greatest miracle since glowing popcorn:

Eh, I guess that wasn't a presentation. Just a picture, of a Cheeto in water, slowly releasing its inner puddles of green dye into the atmosphere -- on in other cases, your mouth. Be thankful I'm not showing you what a half-eaten magic green Cheeto looks like on top of a slimy tongue, because I did take that picture and it's pretty disgusting. For the record, I'd mark it more of a deep, deep emerald than green. The orange still permeates enough for the combined mixture to be more brownish, and brown-stained tongues with little bits of something gooey all over them won't win any popularity contests.

Some other things picked up for this round...

The official Shrek 2 Bellywasher, "Swamp Punch." Shrek's head is spring-loaded, though I haven't quite figured out why. I've not yet developed a reason to crack open a drink called "Swamp Punch." Perhaps this day will come. When, I cannot say.

Here's Shrek's Fruit Gushers, in "Fruitomic Punch." When Dr. Frankenstein took DNA from Freshen-Up gum and mixed it with atoms split off Fruit Wrinkles, the public at large welcomed Gushers: snacks with slime in the middle. Each box contains a free Shrek 2 figurine. I got the donkey. Again.

Down below are some quick, gritty pics snapped from my 23rd century camera phone. Can't remember where. Looks like a supermarket.

If I find more Shrek crap, my reports will be swift like ogre. If you haven't already, check out Volume I and Volume II. Shrek says to.

Another interesting find of Shrek Stuff Matt. :)

Chestnuts roasted by Tama chan @ 05/10/2004 04:19 AM EST


Hey Matt,
Man are these some great finds! The "Dixie-Shrek" cracked me up. And for the record My Grandmother and I both like Sierra Mist so I guess that makes 2 "Mist fans" so far.

BTW if someone could locate another issue of the Kool-Aid man comic for you would you be willing to do a follow up to that Kool-aid-man article? (I found it at my local antique store)

Chestnuts roasted by Tetsu Deinonychus @ 05/10/2004 04:39 AM EST


in my opinion the shrek slurpee is absolutely delicious...i think ill get one right now....or go to sleep

Chestnuts roasted by matt @ 05/10/2004 05:19 AM EST


I can't wait for the movie to come out! :)

Chestnuts roasted by Fairy @ 05/10/2004 05:34 AM EST


Matt I thought I'd never say this, but "This obsession of yours has gotten out of hand." You've lost sight of what is truly important, that being the Chiaplot. If shrek trends continue I fear...what am I saying? Awww isn't the belly washer cute?

Chestnuts roasted by Trippy the 8th Dwarf @ 05/10/2004 06:58 AM EST


I've always wondered what Sierra Mist tasted like, I have yet to find it in my little part of Canada.

Chestnuts roasted by Naveed @ 05/10/2004 08:17 AM EST


I'm a Sierra Mist fan, too.

Felt kind of weird about the drink when it first came out, never quite tasted right, then i read the lable and figured out that it's just a 7up/Spirite/Slice/Lemon-Lime knock off. Not that it's my all time favorite, but i don't really see much of a difference between any of the lemon lime drinks, either. They're different, but not enough that i care.

Chestnuts roasted by JohnnyCasino @ 05/10/2004 08:33 AM EST


mmmm sierra mist...

i didn't think shrek was all that great to begin w/.

however it wAS better than van helsing...

Chestnuts roasted by ANdrew @ 05/10/2004 08:54 AM EST


I have never seen so much ad placement for a movie. I wonder how much they paid for all of this crap.
I still can't wait to see the movie, though.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 05/10/2004 09:27 AM EST


oh man I definitely like sierra mist...better then sprite....and shrek was ok and everything but can you imagine if every fucking movie that came along had that much advertising crap? Once the movies are over that shit is thrown away. What a shame.....

Chestnuts roasted by Emmaaaaa @ 05/10/2004 09:55 AM EST


I want a Dixie Shrek! I can just see him, riding in his pickup, gunrack in back, rebel flag flying high... playing a banjo while wearing a Confederate kepi...

I wish they had put this much effort into the merchandising for Nukie.

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Monkey @ 05/10/2004 10:31 AM EST


I was one of the people suprized with the green cheeto hell.
After about 2 of those things I realize they weren't so good cause of the funky filie taste and ohyeah my mouth was green! Even after the mouth maintance possible my mouth was still feeling pretty nasty for about 3 to 4 hours. So watch out Green Cheetos ARE MADE of People!

I wish they would re-release ectocooler than this crap.

I hate that movie... it did not deserve a sequel

Chestnuts roasted by KujakuDM @ 05/10/2004 10:35 AM EST


If you think thats nuts, the U.S. Postal service takes it one further by stamping Shrek and the donkey on every processed letter in the country!

Chestnuts roasted by nad812 @ 05/10/2004 10:56 AM EST


I hate Shreck, I hate him so much I don't care wheter or not I spelled his name right. Shrecks also a ugly mother fucker, I wish he was'nt on everything from soda to birth control pills. In fact, just looking at him makes me angry, I guess I can't go grocery shopping till the movie comes out and they pull all the Shreck crap off the shelves. Oh yeah Matt, I happen to find a copy of that Tamagotchi video at the anime store at my local mall. I had to buy it, for 10 bucks. Looking back, I think I coulda spent my money better. Oh well.

Chestnuts roasted by James @ 05/10/2004 11:04 AM EST


Another visit to Easy Video, eh? Is this a hint at another crazy movie review in the works?

And yeah, I'm starting to wonder where Chia Plot is. It woudl be nice by now to just come out and tell us you're not going to finish it.

Chestnuts roasted by Behonkiss @ 05/10/2004 11:16 AM EST


Nah, because I'm sure I'll go back to the Chia Plot eventually.

Easy Video was pretty dry because I don't actually have an account there (just search the sale bins). Did find a few site-worthy things for the coming weeks, tho.

Oh, and can someone re-explain the Shrek post office thing to me again?

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/10/2004 11:21 AM EST


Man....forget Shrek-a-licious, gimme FANTA BLUE RASPBERRY!!!!

I'm sorry but the brand name Fanta is instant comedy to me. It will never overpower the greatness of Shasta though which is the greatest low profile cheap-ass soda from the 80's. Ever heard of Shasta, Matt?

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 05/10/2004 11:31 AM EST


Phung -- Hell yes. Search the blog for "Tiki Punch."

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/10/2004 11:32 AM EST


Actually, Ortega taco shells are made of people - Green Cheetos are made of frog intestines...

Chestnuts roasted by MST2K fan @ 05/10/2004 11:38 AM EST


Wow, I would never expect any less from Shasta. I think I'm going to protest Shrek 2 by sitting at home watching all 3 Christmas Story based movies and perhaps all of the critters movies. The Hollywood hype machine kills yet another movie....

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 05/10/2004 11:39 AM EST


Little Brother's cat is a very picky eater, won't touch people food, but she will lick the "cheese" off a Cheeto. Last time they had the green ones, he let her check one out. Ever see a pissed-off cat with a green tounge? Fun-nee!

A least MLB isn't selling base pad space to the shrek people, they reserved that for spidey.

Chestnuts roasted by naturekid @ 05/10/2004 12:00 PM EST


I'm glad Major League Baseball decided to NOT put Spidey 2 on the bases. For once they did what was in the FAN'S interests and not giving into the millions of dollars they were ready to recieve. And anyways I thought the first Spidey movie was a piece of crap so the new one can't be any better.

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 05/10/2004 12:10 PM EST


This latest movie merchandising blitz is massive, but I think it will be outdone soon enough. When I saw the insane amount of products with HULK plastered on them before and during that movie's run (what is it with big green guys anyway?) I thought it couldn't get worse. Oh how wrong I was. Before that the biggest I noticed was Phantom Menace, but I'll excuse that since I'm a Star Wars fan. Still, it shows a growing trend. I'll bet the next big thing totally blows this blitz out of the water. As for what that thing will be (Batman Begins, Garfield, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, etc.)... time will tell.

Chestnuts roasted by Frostor @ 05/10/2004 12:32 PM EST


Speaking only in terms of the mass marketing a la Shrek...

Garfield has potential, but I don't think the tie-in products will be anywhere near as strange as Shrek, or even Hulk or Spongey.

Batman Begins will likely be a bit too dark for a complete takeover. Pity.

I'm honestly not sure if Shrek 2 can be topped.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/10/2004 12:35 PM EST


I had not heard that MLB dropped the Idea. Kudos MLB. Now if only the Brewers could stop sucking...

Up here in Canada "Mac's" (The Canadian equivilant of 7-11) has thier own version of the Shrek 2 Slurpee, However insted of Sierra mist (as the above poster said we have yet to get in Canada) flavoued it's just plain Lime flavoured.

Oh i forgot, if you are reviewing some more movies on the site, you got to review C.H.U.D. It's a cheesy 80's horror film staring Daniel Stern of home alone and city slickers fame. John Goodman also has a bit part in it.

I to have seen the Shrek stamp. Amazing, and somewhat frightening. Hard to explain, it's the stamp they stamp on top of the stamp that tells you where the letter is from and when it was processed.

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 05/10/2004 01:31 PM EST


I believe this is a sign of the upcoming end of times...lets assume that Shrek is supposed to be some kind of puffy smooth reptile. Children love him, adults dont find him that annoying, and the corperate world slaps his image on everything. Now that the world loves this marshmallowian reptile, they are ready for the next step...

Chestnuts roasted by BetaChester @ 05/10/2004 01:33 PM EST


Matt, you have to go hunt down a copy of Shrek Operation. It's the game Operation, with Shrek as the patient!

Chestnuts roasted by Chrizzle @ 05/10/2004 01:53 PM EST


I know this is totally off subject but I think Nintendo needs to make a new Punch Out game. I hope in the new version you can select from any of the old schoolers and add a whole slew of newbies. It would be sweet to kick some ass with King Hippo or Great Tiger. I'd love to knock someone down with one of those silly Great Tiger "magic punches". They should keep the game setup exactly the same. I hate how game companies have to make EVERYTHING 3-d. With all the time you save and rendering the graphics you could actually make the game play impecible. Anyways, it should include all characters, hidden characters, and all that fun stuff. Maybe a combo system...please Nintendo answer my prayers.

Not much else going on here... SHREK needs to turn into a real boy... a real fat boy.

I saw an inverview with Mike Meyers, and he said that when they originally cast Shrek, he was supposed to be voiced by Chris Farley, but since a) it took so long to make, and b) Chris Farley went the way of... well, Chris Farley-- they Got Mike Meyers instead.

If so, why does it have a dot? My corn dance has no dots, so what's up with the dots? Maybe I need to put dots in my dance. Yeah,it will confuse death and thus I'll be immortal!!!

You would get severely beaten by policemen if caught not wearing green. I'd actually like to see the idea materialize because i'd like to see The Hulk knock the stuffin' outta Shrek. The Movie would have to be rated NC-17 for the violence content...

phunqsauce: I think this could very well happen to Ecstasy pills sold on the street. A visit to erowid.org will display a variety of colorful different pills. All it will take is for some clever dealer to take 1 part methamphetamine, 10 parts MDMA, 100 parts green coloring and stamp a shrek silhouette on it. Rave on, kids and look for the pill on ecstasydata.org in a few months.

I was just in the middle of polishing my wand when this thought occurred to me: Shrek would look hilarious on a big green condom. Could you see that lookin' up at you from down-under?

Or you could make it Donkey-Sized for bigger men.

And for women-- Puss in Boots Diaphragms.

Or Princess Fiona Deusche.

I think I talked about this the other day on Shrek Blog #2.

Chestnuts roasted by The Return of Long Duck Dong @ 05/10/2004 04:48 PM EST


I think ANdrew was being a bit harsh on Van Helsing earlier. It would be a perfect movie if they just cut it down a bit.

Start with all the vampires yelling at each other in bad Romanian accents, then cut to "Some people say you're a holy man. Other people say you're a murderer, blah blah blah" scene that they keep on showing in the preview. It may appear out of place, but it's not like it wasn't out of place in the movie as released.

Keeping with the "out of place" theme, cut from there straight to Frankenstein's monster's performance of "Gangsta's Paradise" and straight from there to the climactic scene in which Dracula explains to Van Helsing that he was the one who killed him way back when (because, you know, he's the left hand of God, or the right hand, or something...). Then finish it of with Sommers's heart-rending dedication "to the memory of my dad" (his dad, not mine). Then, it would be perfect.

Unfortunately, they spent a bit too much time trying to form a semi-coherent plot. I guess there's always the director's cut. Unlike Shrek, however, I don't recall any fart jokes or ass jokes. That's a plus.

Did anyone watch Shrek with the commentary track? They said that there were originally so many ass jokes that they had to cut all of the ass jokes that weren't puns on "ass" being a synonym for "donkey".

Matt, you do provide a service, and for that you are to be commended. On the other hand, some conclusion to the Chia-Plot story would be a mighty nice service too.

About King Klash's suggestion... I know if you eat blue slushees, your poop will turn blue. Could you turn it Shrek-Green if you tried? Hmmmm...

Oh-- and I didn't know X-E came out in print?! That's awesome, even if it is only in Deleware!

First time poster. Couln't stand Shrek. It was Unfunny and dull.

But I was wondering, could anyone help me figure out what these movies are? The first one was something about a kid's brain being chopped out and put into a dinosaur. I am not kidding. The second was people being turned into circus freaks. Sorry to go so off topic.

Chestnuts roasted by Jimmy Putty @ 05/10/2004 05:17 PM EST


What should I do?! Cowman is on to the ME pyramid scheme, but Matt and squee4242 are nice enough to defend ME.

I wonder if Cowman would cry if he knew I was paralyzed. I'm not physically, but you could make an arguement about socially.

Ah well, so goes the life of a link carpetbagger.

If anything has the potential to outdo the Shrek II media blitz it's going to be Spiderman II. They've already tried to get him on the Yankees bases for crying out load. It is only a warm up, watch and see.

Sierra Mist?

Pardon me while I vomit.

It's weird but we in Australia have not caught Shrek Fever yet. I've yet to see ONE thing with the Giant Green Head that is Shrek on our shelves or 7-11's or Ice Creamerys yet.

That said we are a TAD behind the times. I saw a 7-11 last week that was still selling the Hulk slurpee :). Needless to say, drinking slurpees that haven't been cleaned or obviously touched for 18 months is one of my pasttimes (Yes I live life on the RAGGED EDGE BABY!) I couldn't get the money out of my wallet fast enough. It wasn't bad actually and I can't say I've had any ill effects......other than a weird quest for the last bottle of Pepsi Blue.

Chestnuts roasted by Sabre @ 05/10/2004 06:36 PM EST


Jimmy Putty: That second movie sounds like "Freaked". Randy Quaid turns some of his circus patrons into side show freaks such as a guy with a sock puppet for a head. Mr. T plays the bearded lady. Great movie.

Chestnuts roasted by KJB @ 05/10/2004 06:39 PM EST


Everytime i see that big,goofy 'Shrek' head,it reminds me of the actor Jon Favreau from that "Swingers" movie w/Vince Vaughn.does anyone else see that,or am I totally mental?

p.s. Matt...love the site,keep it up!

Chestnuts roasted by Steve_B @ 05/10/2004 06:43 PM EST


Bloody hell, that's a lot of Shrek crap. Your devotion to covering it all is truly inspiring, Matt. I'd salute you, but I'm not too sure if those photos of you naked cheetos being tortured are entirely on the up and up...but I suppose you were just following the orders of your superior. ;)

Jeez, the twists these comments take are totally unpredictable...much like a twisted cheeto that turns your tongue green.

But at least that explains it -- on the commercial it doesn't say anything about Shrek, so I was wondering where the green tongue fit in. It still makes no sense, but now I understand. :P

I can't say I'm a big fan of Sierra Mist (love Mountan Dew though) but I thought the Slurpee was pretty good. I'm keeping my eye out for that bobblehead Swamp Punch.

The second movie is "Freaked". I always remembered the earthworm man. God, it disturbed me.

Diet Pepsi? Am I seeing that right, a Diet Pepsi Slupree? I like Diet Pepsi and all (heck its the only thing I drink) but to be honest it doesn't have any real flavor. So I can't even imagine what a Diet Pepsi flavored would taste like, sadly there are no 7-11 in my part of the country so I guess I'll never know.

Sierra Mist offers a blast of that refreshing, lemon-lime twist, offered by no other carbonated beverage on the market. Not only that, but some studies have found that Sierra Mist increases your IQ, attracts the opposite sex (or same sex for homosexuals), and has a 72% probability of getting you a raise at work, according to some studies.

I'm glad nobody's pissed becuase I gave away a semi-movie spolier. Movie merchandising does that all the time. One of the Anakin figures released before Attack of the Clones came with a removeable arm,and there was the Future Smith from the Lost in Space movie line,but with "Don't open until you see the movie" packaging.

Blugh...I don't like Slurpees. Not to mention that the nearest 7-11 is in Hillsboro, which is 40 miles away from where I live. Sometimes a group gets together to trek to 7-11 and get Slurpees. That's college for you.

Anyway, I liked Shrek, but this is just ridiculous. You know its a conspiracy when USPS gets involved in the promotion, too.

Matt,
Why is it taking you sooo long to make the next chia plot. Is it because those rock tumblers take 2 months to do the job. If thats the reason then I suppose its a viable one. Otherwise me and my fellow X-E readers will have to revolt. VIVA LA RESISTANCE! CHIA PLOT!

I have a theory. Mass marketing of movies on products and products in movies has increased steadily and dramatically over the years. I have come up with an equation to explain this phenomena.

(Number of movies, sequels, and spinoff TV series) + (Number of products that endorse said movies and TV shows) = (More the movies and TV shows suck ass)

Generally, the higher the total number, the worse it sucks.

Think of every horror/monster movie cliche you can, then string them together in no real order. You've just simulated seeing the movie while saving yourself the cost of admission.

Hype doesn't always mean a bad movie... the first Harry Potter movie got a hype overkill, and I thought it was great. Luckily they eased up on that stuff by the second movie. Movie three comes out in June! Ding ding ding!

Man... I just checked the box I received from the States last friday (containing none other than Anniversary Optimus Prime and Sideswipe, by the way) and there's no USPS Shrek stamp on it. Then again it doesn't have any stamps, just a printed label. Or maybe they are a bit too embarrassed to actually show the world how easily bought they are.

My now-7yo daughter got one of her bday party invites back (there was a typo in the school's directory.). As I was trying to explain on her level why we GOT something in the mail that WE had SENT, she said "Ohhh, she can't come because she's going to the new Shrek movie." You know, it's as good an explanation as any for why the USPS is whoring itself out to such an extent.

Shoulda scanned it and sent it to Matt, but like some sort of...of...MOM! I put it in the recyling bin.

I got Sierra Mist in my hair while throwing cans in the air and running away before they hit me. After they hit the ground a few times, they obviously start to leak and spray. Then it gets in your hair. Or my hair. And it gets hard and sticky. Then you need shampoo.

Matt, is this the most heavily marketed/cross promoted movie of all time? 90% of it focuses on junkfood. In more disturbing news, I watched Shrek for the first time today. I have no idea why I rented it, I did though. I got halfway through and went to bed. It was cute and not bad if I had to drag a child to a film on a rainy day. Oh and yeah believe this: SHREK IS ALL ABOUT ANTI-DISNEY PROPAGANDA! Yup, thats the underlying message.

I just saw a commercial for Sierra Mist promoting Shrek 2. It takes place after the original movie, with Shrek and Fiona in the onion carriage and all. Shrek is being annoyed by Donkey. So much, in fact, that he comes out and tosses Donkey into space, where he takes a swig of Sierra Mist before falling back down. Yep.

Speaking of onions, I mentioned to my dad something that's been established in the original movie: Orges and onions both have layers. My dad replied, "Layers of what? Layers of beef? Layers of pork? Layers of money?" Judging from all this promotion, I'd say layers of money.

I live off Pepsi and Lays, I have never been in a grocery store. The movie was terrible, the theater was full and I sat in the front row. Shrek will soon sponsor little league sports teams.

hey,my mom went into a quik-stop to pay for the gas she had just pumped while i sat in the car(what?people shouldnt depend on their kids to pump gas;it's not even my car)and came out with a bag of cheetos with none other than that green freak love-child of Fat Bastard and the grinch,shrek.and my mom ate a couple as she was drivin down the road,she ate a couple,and i KNEW what they do to your teeth,but i didnt say anything,becase that would have stopped her from eating them.so i say casually "holy shit,mom,your mouth is green",so she looked in the mirror,and took it pretty well,sipping some pepsi,thus washing the greenness(and my enjoyment)down her gullet.the reason i mention this is because matt writes something about people unknowingly turning their toongue green.by the way,matt,ninja turtles rule,as do your articles on them.i was born in '87,so i wasnt even AWARE some of the turtle crap you mention existed.it was ALL OVER THE MARKET!whoa,deja vu.

'OY, BUGGER OFF!!

Well...
I'm actually not getting any pay for them plastering my face everywhere. And my merchandise sucks. Don't buy it. The Hulk is a MILF. Cameron, do you live in Raleigh? The teenage mutant ninja turtles raped Fiona.
Puss likes those cheeto's. He can't figure out why his crotch is green though.

I can't wait until they release the new official Shrek(TM) laundry detergent that turns all your clothes green! I only wish I were the head of their marketing department, we would put a large inflatable Shrek in Bahgdad, you would see Shrek-themed mini-vans, swamp scented Shrek Lysol, Shrek vitamins that turn your skin green, Shrek deodorant, Shrek salad, Shrek coctail, fried shrek, these people promoting Shrek are gonna have more money than most small countries. It's a mad mad mad world. I'm gonna go buy a pack of Shrek green smoke cigarettes =)

I've tried looking all over the internet for some funny anti-shrek
pictures,but I can't find any.

I even went so far as looking up "shrek hentai" (the thought of shrek fucking donkey up the ass seems hilarious to me) Just imagine the dialouge: Shrek:Ah ya like that don ya ya lil betch! Donkey: Shrek man,yo shit green ugly ass mutha fucka!!

...........ahem-anyway;does anybody out there know of any funny anti-shrek pics/parodies??
