POP(SICLE) CULTURE


From today’s New York Times :

The Police and Fire Departments were summoned. Breaking News Network, which monitors police scanners for news organizations, sent out an alert:

"A giant Popsicle being displayed by Snapple has melted in the heat and sun and spilled all over 17th Street. F.D. on scene attempting to wash down the roadway - sticky goo all over the area."

What went wrong?


Title : Cool Evil!
The Pitch : “A, uh, Giant Popsicle invades the city and terrorizes everyone by, uh, melting.”
Cast : “Nicole Kidman is The Giant Popsicle.” Sticky goo ensues.
Sample Dialogue : “I’m going to melt you... to Death!”
Acting Methods : Nicole actually wears a prosthetic stick up her ass.
Gossip Scandal : “Nicole prefers dreamsicles!” + affairs + marriage + openings.
Preview : “Remember when you were five and your popsicle melted all over your hand? Well this is worse. Much worse...
Demographic : Young men into Nicole and who snort when you say “sticky goo”.
Poster Blurb : “Can You Hear the Ice Cream Man?”
