And this is a golden opportunity to once again link to one of my all-time favorite MeFi comments. I think it's really the last word on cake. posted by flapjax at midnite at 7:39 AM on March 24, 2007

In spite of the silliness, it made me smile.

I've been living in under a rock recently so I'm only peripherally aware of 300. But given the choice between the theatrical version and the YouTube version, I think I'd go with Caketown. posted by lekvar at 11:13 AM on March 24, 2007

mostly kind of a WTF experience there and not the best pulled off at times, but certain parts had me laughing more than I would have expected. FROSTING! posted by Stunt at 1:34 PM on March 24, 2007
Yes,
Miss Lynnster,
I AM the Vice-President of Caketown, and I am displeased to see my Loyal Cakes used in conjunction with such aggression.
Cake, like most sugary delectibles, is the epitome of non-violence.
Cake is passive.
Cake just happily sits on its little plate, eager to be adored.
Cake does not hit you or taunt you with a sword.
Pies, on the other hand, are inherently violent little beasties and are to be avoided.
Just ask Mack Sennett and his Keystone Kop bullyboys.
Nobody ever got whacked in the face with a slice of Angelfood.
I'm thinking about writing a letter.
After I finish this beautiful piece of Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. posted by Dizzy at 2:10 PM on March 24, 2007
Dizzy, I'll have you know that angelfood killed my family.

lekvar---
It is entirely possible that merengue, from PIES, sometimes spontaneously stiffen and can be mistaken for cake or cake-like desserts.
This phenomenon, often referred in our circles as "SimpleSimonism" is a direct result of cheap foreign desserts flooding our markets.
"CSI:Bakersville" featured this in a recent episode.
I'd be careful in the future, my friend.
