Drink of the People!!

User avatar
Comrades!! One night I stopped into the local capitalist opression evil big oil distribution point to liberate some energy drink so I could work hard through the night to spread the People's message, and to my joy I found this:

My heart lept for joy when I saw the welcome symbol of the people waving at me from the side of the can! With tears in my eyes and shaking hands I placed it upon the counter. I was so full of emotion I couldn't even shout the usual 'Capitalist Oppressor' at the clerk. I merely threw my capitalist exploitation units at the opressor drone and left.

What a glorious drink comrades!! If only Uncle Joe had this drink the gulags would be full of shock workers! 5 year plans would have become 2 years plans and the Soviet Empire would have crushed the evil capitalists many many years ago!

Victory Gin has been replaced with The People's Energy Drink of Inconsequential Name but of Monutmental Importance to the Struggle to Liberate the Workers of the Worldtm(TPEDOINBOMITTSTLTWOTW).

Drink up Comrades!! This is the fuel which will drive us to victory in November!!

Just like other socialist energy beverages some times it gives you energy some times it doesn't. Some times contains liquid and some times it doesn't.

Comrade O'Brein, I hope that you've gotten enough caffeine into your system to wake you up now. Take another look at the can. There is an IMPERIAL Russian eagle in that logo! Throw it down! It is the Drink of Opression! The Elixir of Empire! IT IS AN ANTI-LIBERATION LIBATION!!!

Reminds me of this. Made with cutting edge soviet video technology.

Lenin 'n' Thingies, apparently it really does exist as seen:

This might explain why the can is so "busy" with Hammer & Sickle vs Imperial Eagle. Sort of reminds me of Babu Bhatt and his "Dream Cafe" restaurant on Seinfeld. I even thought those were supposed to be shovels or beet roots on the front of the can, but it seems to be the company logo, which reminds me of three snakes with seagull heads.

Maybe this is the stuff Howard Dean drank before his scream.

Maybe this is the energy drink they sell at Obama rallies to keep people excited and passing out.

Could you elaborate on the "Dream Cafe" restaurant? I'm one of the 3 people who have only seen a couple episodes of Seinfeld. I know,I should be shot for this ;)

On the other hand, perhaps that is like the capitalist Coka a Cola cans that have been appearing lately, with the name written in various languages, to celebrate the glorious uniting of the world in the People's State of China for the Olympics?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cafe
Jerry, fascinated by an empty and failing restaurant called "The Dream Café," offers his patronage to the restaurant, and its owner (Babu Bhatt, who became a very popular character) and convinces the owner to restyle his menu and decor. He suggests that Babu make his restaurant the only authentic Pakistani eatery in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this is a big disaster for Babu because the restaurant still lacks customers and Babu loses a lot of money. He becomes very upset with Jerry and blames him for causing his failure by yelling to Jerry, "You are a very, very bad man!"

and the script...<br>http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheCafe.html

Quiet!! You shut up! You bad man! You very very bad man!

The Dream Cafe restaurant had no central theme so to speak; it was a hodge-podge of Italian, Greek, American, Mexican cuisine, etc., and the interior decor was just as slapdash.

It just seems to me that in designing the can for Russian Java Monster, they slapped on anything Russian they could think of. While I don't think this is etched in stone anywhere, I can't help thinking one shouldn't put hammers and sickles with imperial eagles. Something to do with mixing acids and bases, I don't know. I flunked science.

I believe you comrades are missing the point. The new Motherland is becoming a more nationalist socialist utopia. As it swims back to such old stalwarts of the former utopia such as Putin, it is ostensibly less aimed toward internationalism (probably because we are gleefully flowing that way on our own). Because of this, it is not so hard to understand the bringing together of the former imperial icons with the symbols of it's even greater socialist past. Either that or just a cheap and uninformed marketing scheme.

I understand it's supposed to be a non-alcoholic version of the Black Russian cocktail, hence the name. But Pinkie is right, mixing hammers and sickles with imperial eagles is just as stupid and kitschy as Obama's "Decembrists" wearing commie gear. Or as Obama wearing the American flag pin. Or Dukakis in a tank. Or Al Gore defending reason. Or Jimmy Carter and Arafat getting Nobel Peace prizes. Or Hillary accepting Obamessiah as her Lord and Savior. Or three snakes with seagull heads. There's something very sick about that picture.

User avatar
Hmmmm, clearly you missed some pictures from this past May Day parade in the Motherland Comrade Cube.for I saw both symbols in various pictures. It sort of makes sense,,,Russia is becoming more nationalistic, only now, it is the Hammer and Sickle that is the new nostalgia.

User avatar
Yes Comrades yes. In the old days the Imperial Eagle was a horrendous symbol of capitalist oppression while the glorious hammer and sickle is the symbol of freedom and utopia. As you have mentioned in the past there was a great division in Soviet History, Imperial vs. Communist. Now that those they are gone, we are trying to show that there was no such division. That yes Russia was capitalist at one time, but the people PEACEFULLY and willingly transitioned to the communist system. Hence seeing imperial and communist symbols on the same can.

Just as here too in America there will be a seamless peaceful transition from capitalism to communism.

Phew, I am glad my analysis was in line with yours Comrade O'Brien as I am not sure I can afford another vacation at the Ministry of Love right now.
