Get serious.

Pedobear is a member of Power Pack.

Did you even see that Olympics artwork? Pedobear is up in Canada hanging out with Alpha Flight. He is probably some new version of Sasquatch.

Dude, Pedobear is a native American...

That's not the toy I was talking about, it was Storm, in a box, alone.

A recent story over at NPR brings up this issue in regards to the TV show Chuck, but more about the sense of entitlement fans have for the things they love and just how self-defeating that attutide can be.

Thanks!

Say what you want about Mark Millar, but fair play to him for this

Ebay auction to have the lead character of Nemesis named after you. All proceeds go to a school for special needs kids.* Current total, $4,500 dollars, with over a day to go.

*None of that trendy Haiti bandwagon jumping for Millar.

His brother's school.

So? Still cool.

Aye, I know he's got a personal investment in the whole Down's Syndrome thing, but kudos for doing something for it.

I'd actually be interested in seeing him write a DS character. I wonder if it'd make him soften the veneer of ironic distance almsot everything he writes has.

Eoin

What if a guy whose real name is, say, Peter Parker, happened to win the auction?

Didn't he do something similar for Kick-Ass?

It's Bruce Wayne he needs to worry about.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a guy whose name is Warren Ellis. The violin player for the Bad Seeds certainly should have enough disposable income. If somebody here knows him, give him a call. It's for a good cause, after all.

Possibly.

It's actually not bad value for money if the comic gets turned into a movie and you want to donate money to a good cause.

Eoin

Yeah, the lead character of KICK-ASS - "Dave Lizewski"? - was from an auction too. There was an interview at CBR with the real Dave.

Fox News gets Marvel to alter Captain America #602 for future printings.

Quesada offers unnecessary mea culpa while blaming the letterer.

So wrong to back down so fast on this.

So, are there any black teabaggers?

Si,

These are the same people who voted for Bush twice.  He turned a surplus into a deficit.  They did not start throwing tea until a black man was elected and a stimulus plan was passed.

You could argue that Bush hid the costs of his wars and they finally woke up.  But they did not do this when he pushed the bailout for banks in late September of '09.  If so, they are ignorant.

You could say many of them are not supporting current Republicans who have been in office during the Bush administration.  Yeah, even McCain is being challenged.

I would guess, I have no proof, that many of them are part of the "birther movement".  But I can give you this:

While searching for these, I did not see any obvious ethnic minorities.

I found these pretty easy when Googling "black people Tea Parties."

I'm not going to argue the rightness or wrongness of their messages, or that the guy is wearing a cowboy hat.  I'm just posting them to point out that there are black people front and center in the Tea Party movement.

Also, that 57 states line is a dig on Obama.  He once mistakenly said there were 57 states.

No, did not.  He said something like "we've been to all 40..... 7.....  I wanted to visit Hawaii, but we couldn't justify it..."  This was the end of a long race, he said he was tired, etc.

They think this has something to do with the 57 muslim states.

I googled with "minority", not  black.  I can imagine there has been an effort to find a few black people in support of it given the perception of the party.

And I just watched the tape.  Yeah, he did say that, but right after that, he was corrected.  The point is, he was saying that they had a plan to hit all states but Alaska and Hawaii strategically.  So he said all 50, paused, thought 47 of the 48 planned to visit and goofed.

But that sign is about claiming he is a secret muslim.

He very clearly said 57.  But, as you said, he was tired at this point and it's easily excusable.

People did jump to the 57 Islamic states thing afterwards, but that was only sparked by the mistake which got lots of play when it happened in the right wing o sphere.

Angela's been there since the beginning.  I believe I showed linked to a video of her at a 9/12 rally.
