[edit] "all-star cast"
What does "all-star" mean? Apparently: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ned Beatty & Shelley Winters. Ah yes.
[edit] bbc game?
does nobody else remember Purple People Eater as being a game for the BBC Micro? Everything2 has the tiniest mention here
[edit] picture of the waddingtons game
I'm not sure why this picture was deleted - I had full approval of the person who took it to post it, and made that clear on the upload form. Reading through the rules I thought that was all I needed to do. --PRL1973 13:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Purple-People Eater
The lyrics clearly state he eats Purple People.
"I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line" "He said eatin' purple people and it sure is fine"
The only dispute I see is the fact that the 1988 film "Purple People Eater" has a Purple People-Eater.
The article should be changed to reflect this. However I think the fact that the title of the song does not reflect this should be retained.
- Since people are not generally purple, and the only reason the creature gives for not eating the human is that he is 'too tough', we need to consider the possibility that he is not only one eyed and one horned, but also colour blind. We can hardly wonder that, with such evolutionary disadvantages, this extraterrestrial species is so rarely seen these days.--kscally 09:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Original research tag
The discussion of whether "purple" refers to the monster or the people it eats is uncited, and has an unencyclopedic, speculative tone, so I marked it as original research. Demian12358 (talk) 22:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
