Red stapler? Really? You uncultured, unthinking sheep. This is also how we ended up with a dumb name like "Soylent News". Brainless pop culture references masquerading as wit.

I don't know. I don't think it's a matter of being uncultured. I chose the red stapler because I am already familiar with this weapon. Fits in the hand way more nicely than an LTO.
If the bludgeoning doesn't work out, I can fall back on an array of tiny puncture wounds to the facial area!

AC;
I'm sorry; That Stapler that murdered your father, well it turns out it was also responsible for raping your dog, and destroying your 6th grade Science project.
The trouble is; it has diplomatic immunity; and you don't.

Brutally honest yet oh too true.
SoylentNews: the GIMP of the news sites. One wonders when the vote tallies will be published. I'm more than a little curious to see a full breakdown of the first and second votes.
Too late I thought of what I think is a clever name: dashr. It is a hip style of name (at least it would have been, last year, among the hackernews set); it kind of sounds like a word (dasher, sounds fast! also pun-tasitc at xmas), and best of all it references a unix command (or rather, a flag : -r, for recursive, which is what sites like this are like, repeating news from other sites, and a potentially dangerous time-sink).

I'm sure lots of clever names will be thought of after the voting. Someone mentioned "spacebar" in a comment once which I liked (it is both a keyboard key and could also be visualised as a bar (place to hang out) in space).
Maybe that is why they're trying to get an umbrella organisation formed to have multiple soylent style sites - those new ones can have different names.

For some reason, there was no intersection between the people who submitted names and the people with good ideas. It didn't help that the suggestions had to match registered domains.

Guilty as charged. But why the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune? Surely we are but human, if you prick us, do we not bleed? There is nothing new under the sun. Those who know the dao do not speak, and those who speak do not know. See?

While my black Swingline stapler isn't exactly red, it is what I will use to bludgeon my boss, you insensitive clod.

I suppose it will be red when you're done...
