h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As the trivia bit says there is, in fact, a wildly entertaining musical (for those of us with strange senses of humour) based on the circumstances surrounding Mr. Packer's foray to Colorado.

It's called "Cannibal: The Musical" and it was written, directed by and starred Trey Parker, of South Park fame -- long before South Park began its' run.

It is also one of very few films that subscribes to the principals of truth in advertising. It is -- precisely -- a musical about cannibals.

The film is currently available on video and DVD, and is distributed (at least Stateside) by Troma Films, the wildy misanthropic creators of such films as The Toxic Avenger. It is available for order from them and various other places, such as Amazon.com.

As a bit of trivia, a piece of the recurring musical theme in the film is showcased to this day in the "Brannif: Believe It!" production company credits at the end of South Park episodes. It's also an irritatingly catchy ditty.

According to IMDB, Matt Stone (Parker's writing partner in South Park) was an uncredited co-writer, and also co-starred. Apparently Parker got kicked out of college in 1993 for spending too much time making this movie.

Have you seen that Cannibal will occasionally come to the theaters and bars out here in Colorado? Bluebird and Soiled Dove I think. So much fun! Kind of like a Rocky Horror thingy but Schpedoinkle!
