Hmmm...

Killing innocent aliens just to process them into food... Very sick prospect...

Not much different to what the Nazis did to Jewish people in WWII. Of course
they didn't turn them into food, but used them for "experiments".

I know that you intended for this to be satirical/funny, but to me it is kinda
disturbing. Mass killings of innocent beings isn't very humourous.

Maybe I should keep these comments to myself, but hey, it's an open forum.

I hope this doesn't turn into a major discussion about ethics, Nazism, etc.

Anyways, the ship's design is pretty cool. Maybe a little blocky here and
there, but still pretty neat.

Mladen Pejic, over and out!

Hi, all!  Wow, talk about me leaving this RIGHT to the last minute.  Well
it's May 5th, the last day to enter MOCs for the contest, and here is mine.
I don't have the presentation of the Sight Hound contest entry, and my
camera was giving me troubles, but I think I have conveyed the point well
enough.  I present the IP560 Industrial Processor Vessel.  In this case the
ship has been configured to process Gungans for the production of GUNGAN
SPAMCAKE!  :^D  Not everyone may be aware, but there are large fishing
trawlers in use today that catch, clean, process and can the fish (ie:
salmon) right on board.  This is the same idea.  But for our most beloved
Gungan minifig character.

Some may question as to whether it is ethical to carve up sentient
creatures.  We at the Astro Lift Company simply remind the consumer that the
question as to whether or not a Gungan is actually "sentient" let alone a
creature that deserves humanitarian rights is in debate.  We expect the
litigation to take years.  In the mean time, have another helping of GUNGAN
SPAM!  It's good for you!  You can also strip paint with it!

Now, remember, this is supposed to be satyrical, and is not intended to
offend the vegetarian, vegan or rights activists.  If you find the carving
up of Gungans offensive, please do not follow the above link.  Personally,
the thought of the big fish processing ships in use today make me a bit
queezy.  But comments are appreciated.  :^)  Waddy'all think?

(...) A very good point, Mladen! I think this would be better if we assumed that the guys really are processing dumb alien cattle. If a person eats pork or beef, then that person would understand that this is a regular, every day sort of business. I (...) (24 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.space)
