Adult Swim has created a new and bizarre website to promote the upcoming season of Rick and Morty.
With the air date still unknown for the new season, fans are growing a bit impatient. So it appears the creators of Rick and Morty are giving the fans a load of online easter eggs to mull over in the meantime.
The new season will center around the new world order created at the end of last season. Due to a series of events, Earth is now part of the galactic federation. The website fedconnect.galacticfederation.com is a news site that shows a glimpse into this new reality.
In one article the director of the Galactic Association for the Advancement of Pizza People writes a handwringing letter to the people of Earth for “appropriating their culture.” Pizza people are literal pizzas with arms legs and mouths from a different dimension. Upon visiting Earth, they were shocked to find humans eating what appeared to be their babies.
One might be quick to blame all of this on simple coincidence. Or the primitive, underdeveloped human brain. But how is it that so many pizza-related things match back perfectly to Pizarian history?
You see red pepper flakes, I see archaic torture devices meant to burn Pizarian bodies. You see a pizza cutter, I see a deadly weapon that ripped families apart during the largest act of terror in our modern history. You see stuffed crust, I see the bloated, disgusting reminder of our obesity epidemic.
The site also includes a parody of BuzzFeed called BlurtFeed “Eight Things only 750 Million-Year-Old Cosmic Entities Will Remember.”
