Yellowcake ist übrigens die erste Anreicherungsstufe von Uran, die zu Beginn des zweiten Irakkriegs in aller Munde war, und Nick Cross zu diesem Film inspiriert hat.
…The idea for the film came to me in 2003, around the time of the build-up to the war in Iraq. There was a lot of talk about ‘yellow cake’ uranium being sold in ominous tones, but I always thought of yellow cake as being a delicious dessert treat. I thought that the contrast was really funny and that got my creative juices flowing. I always enjoy the idea of blending cute things with something horrible; it’s just such an extreme contrast that I can’t resist going back to that well over-and-over again.
Als Aufmunterung schicke ich gleich nochmal diese wunderbare Daft Punk meets Gorillaz Animation hinterher. God is a DJ & so's Jesus. (via)
