Kevlar Nylon weave no doubt. Where Guns and Ammo meets Hype Hair.
I used to think Bugs Bunny crossdressed to avoid getting shot. Now I know it was because he knew weaves were bullet proof. Also, he liked it maybe a little. It wouldn’t be the first time someone combined cross dressing with S & M.
It just occured to me. Bugs didn’t just cross dress. He cross species cross dressed. That’s weird. I was about to comment about how absolutely mental that was. Then I realized he was no longer alone.
It was only a matter of time before society caught up with him. More than one tail is sick. SICK

Not Heroes super bad. But a few superhero related stories. The super good, bad and ugly.
Super good. Milestone Comics are back. Not semi-independently published as before but by DC Comics. These were some of the best characters in comics during the Great Comics Boom of the 1990s. Fell victim to it too.
Milestone characters came to the page fully realized with back stories and real problems. If you’ve seen any of the Justice League Unlimited by Dwayne McDuffie (current writer of that book and co-founder of Milestone Comics) you have an idea of what I’m talking about. Intelligent and understated. Superman wishes he were that deep. Unless they are regularly used, I’m afraid they’ll get lost in the already gigantic DC line up. I wonder what Rocket has been doing over the past 14 years?
America’s First Gay Superhero?
A TV insider said: “It was only a matter of time before we had our first gay superhero. And if there is one man who can make him a success it is Stan Lee.
“There’s a real buzz among comic book fans.”
No he can’t and no there is not. Stan would have you believe it’s never been done before. There are already several gay superhero characters out there. No pun intended. It’s been done and has succeeded without his help. Super bad if he’s associated with it.
Northstar from Alpha Flight, the new BatWoman, Donner and Blitzen from the Shadow Cabinet, about half of the Blood Syndicate. And (as far as I know) one transgendered anti-hero called Deathwish (the comic was terrible). Milestone Comics handled this well in the 1990s. Particularly Ivan Velez Jr. Sexual orientation was only an aspect of the story telling. Like most of the the better comics, it’s about telling a good story first. Great work.
Stan Lee should change his Marvel Comics Bullpen name from Stan “The Man” Lee to Stan “Don’t Believe the Hype” Lee. Remember the previous Fantastic Four movie? The Captain America Movie? Remember “Stripperella“? The majority of his post Marvel work has gone the same route. He’s coasted into modern times by trading on his work from some forty years ago and lying a lot. If you can’t sell a known, semi-nude female super-heroin to middle American, majority male audience in arrested development…I think you see my point. Speaking of which.
Meet real life superhero and future gunshot victim – Razorhawk!
Appearances to the contrary, Razorhawk has no plans to steal Birdman's power crest. That we know of.
And while a visit to your hospital bed by Stan Lee would be nice, he’s mainly there for a photo op and to serve cease and desist papers. Lord knows he’s done it for others. Old Stan. It really should be him in the hospital bed, shouldn’t it?
Getting shot can be avoided. These kids are more like especially testosteroney nerds than superheros and it’s ruining it for the rest of us. Though it’s easy to confuse us. If they actually thought they might be shot they might take a less aggressive approach, like staying at home. Though their greatest fear is probably not being injured. Their greatest fear is of their mom and their dignity.
Funny how the comics community is generally homophobic but find it acceptable to run around in tights after dark.
"I guess you're wondering what I'm doing standing here. Dressed Like this. It's really a very funny story, um..."
Straight as a razor-hawk!
Super Unknown – The Watchman Movie
It’ll probably be good. Or good by modern movie makers standards. That is to say, our standards have been dumbed down to “The Phantom Menace” levels but it’ll make money anyway. But my inner fanboy doesn’t want it to.
In a big way it should be fairly easy to make an graphic novel into a movie. Technology being what it is, you’d have to be a retard not to make it marginally well. It’s more than a little like tracing a comic book and calling it your own.
I do not have a lot of faith in directors who began their career directing commercials, then remade a horror film with a built in audience, then adapted another graphic novel into film. Again, a lot like tracing the pictures.
Alan Moore is mind bogglingly talented. His other comic to film adaptations were poorly made as well. To say the least. No wonder he’s pissed. I’m sure he doesn’t mind making money, but I’m sure he never imagined one of his best works in the hands of a guy who sold cars. Go figure.
You can see some of Mr Moore’s point here. Comic as advanced story telling device. Denys Cowan, Kent Williams, Dave McKean. Jon J Muth adapted a film to graphic novel, ‘M’ By Fritz Lang. I’m pretty sure this book still puzzles and intimidates comic readers and the general public alike. Photo realistic, mostly black, white and silver fever dreams with accent color throughout. The original release came with a flexy 33 1/3 record featuring “In the Hall of the Mountain King”. You’ll know it when you hear it.

From the New York Magazine article
See what I mean? Each panel tells a story, dunnit? One thing this form of pop culture requires that most modern films don’t? Patience.

I wasn’t going to ever blog on this if I could help it. Or follow one “Great American God Complex” rant with another. Then I read this crap and it could no longer be helped.
From a USA Today editorial by The Killeen Furtney Group, the sad ass Los Angeles public relations group representing Nadya Suleman.
Ordinarily, the birth of a child is a time for celebration and joy. But in Nadya’s case, many have directed their vitriolic, mean-spirited and un-Christian attacks at Nadya and her children via e-mail and phone. This has created a very unpleasant situation for Nadya and our firm, which she selected to tell her story to the world.
Many of the attackers are judgmental and act without all the facts. Some of Nadya’s story has aired on NBC, and more will follow this week. As people view that interview with Ann Curry, we would remind everyone that Nadya has committed no crime, and she fully intends to raise her children in a Christian, caring environment.
Really? You cannot be a very good public relations firm if you reference Hillary Clinton and Christianity in the same breath. That is best way to antagonize several rabid factions in an already freakish debate. Or if you expect us to think your opinion is valid when you hope to make money from the deal?
Vitriolic and mean spirited is believing people are dumb enough to be shamed into buying this crap. It might be enough to get their weird client a TV show amalgamation of the equally bizarre Dugger family and Jerry Springer. The company’s’ attempt to explain away their clients aberrant behavior as normal for profit is what is immoral here.
Commerce x Christianity + Patriotism – Islam = The Great American God Complex.
We are sick with it.
