The only problem is, this time around we don’t have the socially liberal Stan Lee at the helm, and a very dangerous National Socialist agenda is being pushed alongside the idea that science is cool, stay in school.

Wired Magazine’s blogger Geekdad did a (hyper-predictable) rundown of 10 superhero comics your kids should be reading right now. Commentors begin to offer suggestions that aren’t from Marvel and DC and everything seems fine and dandy. That is, of course, until “hsing lee” shows up to impart a special kind of magic to the proceedings.

oh man… essay time. My apologies in advance for being long winded.

I grew up on comic books. Learned to read quite proficiently by age three thanks to Stan Lee’s Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, FF, Avengers and X-Men. Grew up with DC’s JLA, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
I also learned a hell of a lot of critical thinking from Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Silver Surfer and of course the one and only Captain America… more on Cap later.
The way these comics are written helps kids pick up a vocabulary FAST, as they’re able to derive the meaning of words they don’t know via contextual inference from the words prior to and after the unknown word.
But there IS a problem inherent in sticking to just Marvel and/or DC comics. There is a definite America-centric nationalism and pro-military industrial complex fascism to be found in the pages of these comics, especially in Iron Man, and Superman. KEEP YOUR KIDS WAY THE HELL AWAY FROM IRON MAN unless you want them to be pro-war and lifelong Republicans.
The balance to these views my parents included in my comic book obsession was to add Asterix, Tin Tin, and comic book adaptions of the literary classics to my reading list. The adaptations of the classics were so helpful that I was reading the REAL classics, and even Shakespeare, by age five… the comics breed a desire to explore the subject matter of classic literature on a more in-depth level.
I grant you, my reading skills were atypically fast. But the model can be applied to others at their own pace. I actually helped tutor some kids in High School, fellow students who were in my English classes - using the exact same methodology my parents used on me… Comics, Sesame Street and Electric Company… to help some kids who really couldn’t read at all get caught up by the time they hit Grade 10.
But something sinister is happening at Marvel and DC today. Marvel’s Ultimate Universe comics have turned Captain America into a rude and violent Nationalist fascist with an anti-constitutional theocratic mind set. Where he once stood for the ideals set out in the founding papers of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill Of Rights, where he once stood as a champion of ALL oppressed people, where he once stood as a symbol of the need for an informed public to do their patriotic duty by standing up to their government when the government does wrong, the Marvel Ultimate Universe Captain America is now a mouthpiece of the Bush Administration and a pro-torture, pro-killing, pro-government secrecy, anti-habeas corpus, anti-Constitutional rights asshole.
And in the normal Marvel Comics line, they killed off Steve Rogers, the old Cap, and replaced him with a new Cap who is a former DIA and KGB assassin who carries a gun and kills people.
Marvel and DC have always been intricately connected with US government social engineering. Most people don’t realize that Stan Lee was an official member of military intelligence for a number of years. From wiki…

“…Lee entered the U.S. Army in early 1942 and served stateside in the Signal Corps, writing manuals, training films, and slogans, and occasionally cartooning. His military classification, he says, was “playwright”; he adds that only nine men in the U.S. Army were given that title… …Lee returned from his World War II military service in 1945…”
America needed Scientists during the Cold War. Physicists, biochemists, engineers, were needed badly in order for America to stay ahead of the Soviets. Take a look at Stan Lee’s Marvel Line up…
-Hulk/Bruce Banner - Gamma Ray physicist.
-Mr.Fantastic/Reed Richards - Renaissance man scientist with the world’s hottest girlfriend.
-Iron Man/Tony Stark - billionaire industrialist who got rich making weapons due to his skill as an applied science engineer.
-Thor/Donald Blake - a physician.
-Ant-Man/Hank Pym - Bio-engineer.
-The Beast/Henry Pym - Bio-engineer.
-Spider-Man/Peter Parker - science student so gifted that he made his own web shooters.
- Dr. Strange - formerly one of the world’s top surgeons.
They created these characters to encourage kids to stay in school, learn about science, and become tomorrow’s leaders. And it bloody well worked. Today, America has a brain drain. Half of all your theoretical and applied physics scientists will be of retirement age within ten years, and there are barely any students in the pipeline to replace them. Which is why so many of these old Scientists turned Superhero are now getting $100 million dollar movies greenlighted by Hollywood… your government wants to fill the brain gap once again.
The only problem is, this time around we don’t have the socially liberal Stan Lee at the helm, and a very dangerous National Socialist agenda is being pushed alongside the idea that science is cool, stay in school.
My advice would be to keep your kids way, way, WAY away from any of the Ultimate Marvel comics until they’re old enough to know the difference between fiction and propaganda. The Ultimates are a great adult read, but they’re also potentially dangerous to give an unformed and uninformed young mind.
Marvel Adventures is cool. Asterix is cool. TinTin is cool. Adaptations of the Literary classics are cool. But beware the Ultimates. Down that path lies a generation of Hitler Youth.



so much for the good old 4th amendment


by Ted Grant

If there’s a sure-fire way to annoy a Consumerist reader it’s asking them to show their receipt as they leave a store. “Reader J” shares a particularly harrowing story involving…being touched by a Wal-Mart employee! And some guy who may or may not be a cop!

As usual, it’s the comments that elevate the story of one guy taking a minor inconvenience and turning it into a major drama for multiple people that make for the true unintentional comedy.

Personally I would have kicked him in the nuts after the third attempt to get past him. You can use a certain amount of physical force to escape a kidnapper since you are being directly threatened. It’s called self-defense.

Yes, because being asked to show your receipt is just like being kidnapped.

I do not take somebody touching me or harassing me lightly. I have a CHL and carry my pistol with me at most times. I would not have pulled it on them but I would have told them after the 2nd attempt at restraining me that I am armed and that any further attempt to touch or restrain me will be perceived as a direct threat and I’ll take appropriate action to protect myself from harm. I have a feeling they would leave me alone after that warning.

Yes, because threatening to pull a gun on someone is the sanest response to a mild annoyance.

that’s how they take your rights away. when people are too apathetic to fight back for them

Ah yes, the 37th Amendment. “The right of the people to refuse to show their receipt shall not be abridged.”

I love the people who would rather let their rights erode. It’s guys like this, who even though may seem obnoxious, keep companies from implementing draconian measures against consumers.

Draco proscribed the death penalty for petty offenses, and slavery for debt. I…I don’t think Wal-Mart is planning on killing anyone.

Screw you. Just because you don’t care about being treated like a criminal or the erosion of your rights, doesn’t mean others don’t. You can take your holier than thou attitude and shove it. I have rights that belong to me and I’ll thank you not to force me to give them up so walmart’s bottom line isn’t inconvenienced.

you are damn right i would rather “go through that” then give up my freedoms. dozens of generations have faught in wars and smaller confrontations to retain freedoms for this country, you included.

sure, that is not the same as showing a receipt. but, ask yourself this: “when and where does it stop?” what if they require fingerprints and retinal scans? are you going to agree to that?

“I’m sorry ma’am, but we need a blood sample before you can leave the store.” “But I only bought a pack of gum!”

Ah, nah, don’t see that one happening.

this happened to my son at a Home Depot. Not only was his purchased bagged but he was holding the receipt outside the bag. The door person saw him make the purchase and watched him leave the register. still insisting on seeing the receipt, my son stated “you already watched me check out and you can see the receipt in my hand! the man tried to detain him and he pushed my son back. without raising a hand,m son shoved himself past the door person. after getting into his car and turning onto the main road, suddenly, red lights were flashing in his rearview mirror! the police pullled him over and stated that a complaint was made that he refused to show his receipt!!! What??
my son asked the officer if a charge of shop lifting was made? the officer replied no. my son asked if any alleged charges were made as to possible shop lifting? again the officer answered “no. my son then proceeded to ask the officer why he was pulling himover? the officer again stated the receipt story. my son asked if it was law to show a receipt? the officer said “no”. my son stated” then you are illegally pulling me over for no just cause, you are detaining me over a store policy that is not law, and as far as i can see, you are wasting the tax payers money and time are you not? the officer stated that my son was smart a_s! my son very calmly told the officer that if he wanted to put this through the courts, he should arrest him or thank his lucky stars that my son wasn’t a real a_shole and pressed charges against him! what are we living in a communist 3rd country? i understnd store policy, although i have a problem showing a receipt ( whatever happened to reasonable suspicion?) but this is going too far. i thank god my son knows his rights!!!y

And I hope your son inheirited someone else’s grammar and spelling.

Someday, someone stupid like our friend ‘Bob’ here is going to detain someone who is armed, stubbon and impatient and bad things will happen. Maybe that’s what it will take to end the ridiculous practice once and for all.

Yes, because wishing for the death of a minimum wage retail worker is the reasonable response to a minor problem.

The amount of people that comment on these receipt stories with things along the lines of “just show the receipt like a good German” really disturb me.

So showing your receipt when you leave a store is morally equivalent to aiding and abetting Nazis…

Okay, yeah, I can’t take any more of this one…



The fact that it came from The Advocate gives it less weight


by Ted Grant

Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia as accurate as asking Jimmy down at Hootch’s Bar for his expert opinion, isn’t the first place you’d expect to find raging debates over trivial matters…okay, no, it is exactly the place you’d expect to find pointless arguements. But some people’s devotion to refusing to acknowledge the obvious is downright touching.

Take the debate over whether or not the character of Jim Dangle on Reno 911! is meant to be gay or not:

Dangle’s orientation is never made clear, for a reason: it’s a running gag. To say outright that he is gay is simply wrong

The ongoing joke in the show is that he never reveals if he is or is not gay, hence it is ambiguous.

It never says that shw wanted the divorce because he was gay, and certainly was not flirting with the new husband. The joke of the scene is that they got along, despite the odd circumstances.

I suggest we fix the article. Dangle isn’t outright homosexual, and that’s the whole point.

Seems to me like Dangle is gay but he’s reluctant to admit it, possibly fearing the inevitable retribution he’d get from the rest of the cops. He tries to seduce Trudy thinking he’d never see her again and that she was infatuated with him.

The fact that he’s had a history with women yet behaves in a homosexual manner makes the viewer unsure of his sexuality, and that’s the entire point of it. He never openly has had a relationship or any sexual activity with a man, but he was married at one point. Even T.V. Guide’s show description refers to him as being sexually ambiguous.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the actors aren’t always as knowledgable of the characters they play as the creators are. Just because Thomas Lennon says Dangle is gay doesn’t mean the creators intend for Dangle to be an outright homosexual.

You’re making too hasty a conclusion without really thinking. Your “evidence” is based mainly on his outward behavior, which means that obviously you don’t know the definition of homosexual. Anything that points to him being gay and attempting to cover it up could also point to him being straight and attempting to appear gay.

As already mention, Lennon may play the part as gay but the show certainly makes it ambiguous. I also think that T.V. Guide holds enough weight to balance Lennon’s reference to him as being gay.

The fact that it came from The Advocate gives it less weight. Think for a moment: they’re discussing a character who is “ostensibly” (I think that that word sums up what all the reviews and insightful viewers of the show have arrived to) gay for a gay magazine.

So, to review: we can not describe a character clearly coded as gay, who displays an obvious attraction to other men, who participated in a gay marriage, whose creator explictly describes as gay because TV Guide said otherwise once. Gotcha.



if you would like to help me help people please feel free to contact me

You know, I’m not a naturally suspicious fellow, but:

  1. Going to Craiglist first for a charity event is sort of like going to email first to help a deposed African king.
  2. The only capitalized letter in the posting is “I,” which is something that I’m sure a psychologist would have a field day with.
  3. Anonymity in a first-wave charity staffing request is…dubious, to say the least.

Wow means nothing now


by Ted Grant

Draigar is upset that, these days, anyone can have a “good” character in World of Warcraft just by putting in playing time, not by being an excellent player.

Before BC, I had a Grand Marshel Rogue in full epic pvp gear and both the swords.

I had a full T2 priest and a 5/8 T2 hunter. I was in the best raid guild, had top of the line gear (Untill naxx when I said screw raiding) and was a RL of the guild. I was full epics on 3 toon, that was sweet.

Now, every Tom %#@% and harrry has 2 70’s and there both full S1 or some sort of epics.

Sence BC i gave up on being a hardcore raider and pvp just isnt my thing, I got my former GM rogue whos in 3/5 T4 and a alli shammy in 2/5 T4. The only thing Im proud of is haveing 7 70’s.

Back before BC getting epics and being good was hard, now its a joke, not to mention raids are easy mode and you can AFK for epics.

This is why I plan to canncel my account as soon as I finish getting a 70 of every class.

Anyone else feeling how empty wow feels now. It lacks importance and fullness.

Oh and In before angry 12 year olds make fun of how much they think I play, if you have half a brain you can get 1-70 in 3 or 4 weeks.

(Translated, what most of that means is: He had a character who was a priest and a character who was a hunter, both in good equipment, achieved through going on “dungeon raids” in the game. But since the Burning Crusade expansion was released for the game, it is too easy for other people to get good equipment for their characters without neccessarily going on difficult and time-consuming “dungeon raids. “Now he plans to quit the game after he gets a level 70 character in each of the game’s character classes, but will continue to pay the $15 a month fee until he does so.)

Other players respond in various ways. Football is mentioned frequently.

WoW is increasingly becoming a bad game for people who want their game to mean something. The something in this case is “Haha! Look at me! I play this game so much more than you - therefore I have this fancy gear! You will never, ever have it!! DROOL, PEON!!”

This is a good thing.

I dont get it. People can be proud of scoring touch downs in meaning less games like High School Football but soon as someone says that a video game had more meaning to it when you had to put in a decent amount of time in it they say it shouldn’t matter..

Because football is a sport that takes physical training and discipline to be good at. You can’t even compare it to a video game because all you have to do is sit on your fat ass and push buttons.

Training for high school football was about 2 hour practice for 5 days a week, how can you compare that to 4 hours a night in naxx?

Any idiot can push keys on a keyboard. It actually (did) take skill, finesse, and lots of practice to get good at PvPing. Skill used to show, skill used to mean something.

It actually takes time and practice to get good at (most) videogames. And normally it shows.

Now of course just roll a Druid for Arenas and a Hunter for everything else and you can own face by slamming your head on a keyboard.

I can kind of feel you on this, arena really has degraded what epics meant. I mean, look at the difference between people in full t4, and people in full season 1 arena. There are probably 50-60 people in full season 1 arena gear for every 1 in full t4.

There are a ton of people who have acquired a 134 dps two hand weapons through arena, and only a handful who have actual looted them off a raid boss.

It is important that everyone gets to participate and all, but seriously, if every single person in the world had a ferrari would they be cool anymore?? I dont even inspect people anymore becuase there are no epics that excite me, everyone is using the exact same gear.

At no point in the conversation does the question of “are you having fun playing the game?” get asked.



What’s with Whedon and bitches?


by Sluggo, Agent of N.A.N.C.Y.

That bastion of entertainment reporting, Ain’t It Cool News, has a brief report on current goings-on regarding Dollhouse, the new television series by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, and starring occasional Buffy guest-slayer Eliza Dushku.

In the comments section for that article, some wonder what’s up with Whedon and his obsession with strong young women, such as sith_rising:

What’s with Whedon and bitches?

Did he not have any strong males in his life or something? The guy worships women to the point of creepiness. He probably pays chicks to kick his ass ala Payback.

Others wonder why Mr. Whedon doesn’t simply go back to doing what he apparently does best:

Screw this shit.

If these 2 are getting together and not making a Buffyverse series then they are truly mental.

There is already a fan base which is still in place after around, what, 5 years? This thing could be huge. Buffy and Angel are 2 of the best series that have been on the TV for years, compared to this which sounds shit. Does no self respecting creator/actress want a cash cow any more?

One gentleman has jumped the gun a bit, and has already prepared the following letter:

FOX: DON’T CANCEL ‘DOLLHOUSE’

To Whom It May Concern:

Dollhouse is one of the most original shows to air on television, and certainly on your network, since your early cancellation of Joss Whedon’s ‘Firefly,’ a move which has cost you dearly in viewers and PR in the years hence.

Since the incredible pilot, ‘Dollhouse’ has only increased in quality. Ms. Dushku represents the sort of strong female role that is missing on television, and the show itself is a powerful allegory for the situation the world is in right now.

I am aware that ‘Dollhouse’ is only pulling in eight million viewers a week, but it is second in its demo, and with a better time slot and lead-in, I’m sure that could be brought up to twelve or thirteen million next season. Add to this that iTunes sales are currently high, and DVD sales will certainly be high, and it should be clear that ‘Dollhouse’ is a money-making factory that doesn’t come around every day.

I promise you, if you cancel ‘Dollhouse’ at this time, I will be finished. Your network will have screwed me over for the last time, and I will NEVER get attached to another show on Fox again.

Until the next one.

I suspect that last fellow’s tongue may firmly be in his cheek, but let’s consider it a preview of the more sincere despair and wailing on LiveJournals and message boards across the land when the series does get the axe.



We got 5% and we got delegates, so big deal, Ron Paul will take the convention.


by Kevin Church

Like a kid with a large stick with a hornet’s nest nearby, I typed “Ron Paul” into The Google and discovered that, unsurprisingly, his followers have yet to understand words like “percentage” and “odds.” Below you’ll see comments from a DailyPaul.com blog post entitled “Straight Talk From A Texas Meetup,” in which Paulians were told to persevere, that the candidacy wasn’t a lock despite McCain’s consistent leads of around 50% over Paul, and that a resolution to not support McCain had gotten great support in rooms across the state.

That is, of course, to say that all of America will fall in line with a couple dozen World of Warcraft players taking time away from a raid in Azeroth to act like their willpower will get a Ferengi in office.

We got 5% and we got delegates, so big deal, Ron Paul will take the convention.

http://youtube.com/watch?…
Watch and feel the power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Paul will be the next President of the United States of America.

And my favorite, in which SGP declared:

From the reports i have received we did awesome in TX

by my numbers we have obtained 56% to 58% of the delegates in TX

Great job all.

And was elegantly rebutted by JLH, who seems to have stopped drinking the Paul-Aid:

We got 5% of the vote…your post is BS

I’m well aware that there’s crazier Ron Paul material out there, but let’s start with a light appetizer, shall we?



The human message goes forth. We are Human. We will never surrender. We shall never surcum. Our Spirit lives on.


by Brought to you by Carl's, Jr.

Did you know the leaders of the world are actually descendants … oh hell, I’ll just let Wikipedia do the work:

According to David Icke, reptilian humanoids are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at manipulation and control of humanity. He contends that most of the world’s leaders, from Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and George W. Bush to members of the British Royal Family, are in fact related to the 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconis.

These sinister aliens are called Reptoids.

Re-read that as many times as you need to. I’ll be waiting.

Back? Good. There’s more:

When I get letters from people claiming to have seen a person Shape Shift, one factor always stands out. They get very angry which then causes them to literally loose their human composure. It was said that when Al Gore shape shifted live on TV news, he was very angry at the time. In this reported confrontation with Clinton, he was very agitated and angry. I think the photos may be showing a partial shape shift.

Yes, Al Gore shape shifted on live television. Clearly our right wing pundits are falling down on the job if they talk about how “stiff” Gore is but fail to notice that he is in fact a blood-drinking reptile from beyond the stars.

But I feel better knowing someone’s vigilant. Don’t you? Luckily, still others are here to explain it:

The ancient battle between man and dragon has been recorded in the records of just about every past civilization in history. I believe that this conflict between these two races known to me as the Reptilian/Human Conflict is at the heart of why we are on this planet and reason for earth’s existence in the first place. Furthermore I believe this conflict is the basis of the universal game for soul evolution known as The Polarity Integration Game (the game of integrating Light and Dark polarities). Now some of you have felt resistance with the use of the word “game” because you believe that games are only for fun. Let me reiterate the concept that we learn best through games or role-playing. As above, so below.

Well, that made perfect sense. Let’s try another source, to be scientific:

“Divine creatures from the Old Testament, associated with the Cherubim, and later taken to be angels. The root of Seraphim comes either from the Hebrew verb saraph (’to burn’) or the Hebrew noun saraph (a fiery, flying serpent). Because the term appears several times with reference to the serpents encountered in the wilderness (Num. 21.8, Deut. 8.15; Isa. 14.29; 30.6), it has often been understood to refer to “fiery serpents.” From this it has also often been proposed that the seraphim were serpentine in form and in some sense “fiery” creatures or associated with fire.”

In other words flying dragons of old. Now it is not a stretch to assume that if serpentine Seraphim angels mate with human women the offspring will be Reptilian children. There is much historical records indicating that the inner parts of the earth is inhabited by lizard like humanoid creatures.

The “historical records” in question are Mayan and Hopi myths.

Still, it’s a tough life, knowing the truth.

For me, the events of September 11, 2001 brought this conflict back into focus with a jolt and motivated me to finish this article, having put it aside for several weeks since starting it.

The events of that day sent a message to me. It was a big blow to those of us working to help this planet ascend. And the pain from the wound will take great effort to heal.

Jonathan and I were on our way to do a bit of shopping recently. As we drove down the freeway to our destination, he said, “You know people who don’t know the truth will heal from this trauma, but those of us who do won’t heal because we know too much. Can we ever heal?” As he spoke I felt the pain in his voice and the sadness that comes from such a wounding.

After that there’s some stuff about Space Cats and humanity’s true home planet of Avyon. Good times.



When are Rosie’s parents going to step up and have her commited to a mental institution like Brittney Spears parent’s did?


by Tom Thumb

Over at The Huffington Post, they’re following the latest Rosie O’Donnell vs. Somebody Else kerfluffle:

On Friday, Larry King mocked [Fran] Drescher for breaking into Spanish for an appeal to Latino voters on behalf of Hillary Clinton, asking Drescher, “What are you doing?” (watch video of that encounter here). Over the weekend, Rosie, who is reportedly working on a sitcom with Drescher, took to her blog to slam King, writing, “It’s getting tough 2 watch” and polling her audience as to whether King should retire (88 percent said yes).

Naturally, with such an important issue on the table, sides were quickly taken. Gentleman’s gentleman maxfusion cuts right to the heart of the matter:

Who cares what this bag of fat says????

Superlogic saw the whole thing on the telly and offers this objective, meticulously constructed argument:

Sorry gang, I saw the program and like all undereducated Hillary supporters, Fran Drescher bored everybody with her dopey, robotic talking points. She kept interrupting with pointless, tired, desperate attempts at resurrecting Hillary’s failed campaign. These bitter feminists just can’t accept the fact that their hero is getting her clock cleaned. Also, why is Rosie O’Donnel supporting Clinton? She opposes gay marriage and according to Rosie if you oppose gay marriage you hate gay people! When are Rosie’s parents going to step up and have her commited to a mental institution like Brittney Spears parent’s did?

But it is rras who provides the meatiest food for thought:

Is he the one who was married to Conny Chung. I always mix these cable TV people up.I remember one of them was really heavy with the cross/dressers and those near sexy he/shes. I could be wrong because I was remembering one show when overweight bitches cussed their heads off and even ripped blouses and skirts.Hell, I give up, they are all alike and anyone who believes that they know enough about a subject then you’re to far gone.I guess we need to ask ourselves why we waste our time watching this kind of programing. Hell I watch the View everyday and admittedly I’m not learning anything. Like my wife says everyday, ” you only watch that show so you can fanitize over that dim wit blond.

And the battle rages on.
