SoylentNews is people

from the staff-released-from-mind-control dept.
Just as quickly as they arrived, our food-based overlords have vanished. The only remains appear to be a dirty frying pan, and and a discarded muffin wrapper. No notification from either the corn muffin or the bacon bloc have been found leading many to suspect foul play. Free of their enslavement, the staff of SoylentNews has restored the site to its previous name and glory, with statements like that "no, we haven't sold out" and "we didn't say that, it was that damn muffin".

In other news, NCommander has returned to his position as head of the site. When asked where he went, all he could say is "I had a really good breakfast".

    I actually thought it was a better name than "SoylentNews".

    I concur. BaconNews > SoylentNews. Tagline like "BaconNews is delicious" or "BaconNews, mmm bacon" or even "BaconNews, a Jim Gaffigan project". Disclaimer, I am clearly not in marketing.

      Soylent news is people, Bacon News is made from a bunch of squealing and grunting swine who roll around in and eat their own filth. So yeah, for a multitude of reasons your idea is a good one.

    It is. It's a much, much better name. Though almost anything would be. "Soylent" is a terrible name.
