Wait. I recognize those cabinets and beds. It takes a lot of guts to dress up as Ash at The Academy.

@nyokki: It does seem that way sometimes. That said, it's a rather nice picture.
Comment on It\'s about time this happened to Barbie!! (2009-04-16 11:15:48)
This is actually part of an advertising campaign to fight childhood obesity. Active Live Movement or something. They've got fat generic superhero and fat legos as well.

What happens when you have to brake suddenly? The same thing that happens on a motorcycle. :P That said, the crash in the video was brutal.

That's pretty much every social networking list I've ever seen.
Comment on Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness goodness! (2009-04-04 11:00:15)
Started out good. Still good for a laugh at points. Besides: Army of Darkness. :)

@Paul_Is_Drunk: ??? You must have missed the time where I implied that by simply making poor copies of his prior work, the guy (Millar, right? Something like that?) is just a sad hack. I'm all over "It's the same guy." That just makes it worse.
Comment on € for Europe (2009-04-03 11:11:39)
@Paul_Is_Drunk: So he's just a lazy, one-note hack. Sad.

@Gilly: 3, actually. One at about 7 O'clock on the big circle, another halfway down the branch at 2 O'clock. And of course, the lesbian one on the top middle diagram.
Comment on € for Europe (2009-04-02 16:30:54)
Is anyone addressing the fact that is punchline doesn't make sense? They're ripping Ultimate Cap's line about France...but since when is the United States defined as a 'victim' in the minds of Europe? It's overly-sensitive-use-your-own-joke-against-you fail. I don't know much about NextWave, but borrowing Marvel characters to beat up on the US was done by The Authority about a decade ago, and The Authority seemed to do it better.

@mAgnUS BUTTfoorson: Usually, you're so full of shit, and it makes me think that I'm somehow wrong for agreeing with you right now.

But fuck, everyone quit talking about this a week ago. :P

Fucking human rights? Fucking really? Yeah, the internet is a vital part of modern life; the avenues of communication, commerce, and information sharing that the internet provides are relevant to rights like assembly, press, and speech. Attempts to regulate the internet as a whole do affect these rights, but trying to stop people from illegally downloading bootleg copies of Lil Wayne and Twilight? No. Not a right. Not even fucking close. The overzealous, dishonest, and idiotic methods used by the recording industry in their pursuit of illegal downloaders; the manipulation of facts, disregard for personal rights and due process, and one-sided bully pulpit of putting these messages blatant propaganda into the media is a lot closer to a rights issue, a lot closer to a real problem, and it's a perspective the seems to make this comic make sense.

There are a lot of responsible people that use illegal downloading as a sampler for media, but I'm betting there are far more who question why they would buy the cow when they could get the milk for free. Sure, some people wouldn't buy it if they had to pay for it, but that same logic applies to regular theft. If you'd just walk if you couldn't afford gas, that doesn't justify stealing gas. Hell, gas is at least sort of important to living your life. Certainly entertainment execs and top-tier performers aren't starving, but neither are illegal downloaders. The only difference is that one set of people are breaking the law, and the other isn't. If the laws are stupid, then people should lobby to get them changed; not just break them because they feel entitled to music and movies. That's not even talking about possible effects on emerging artists and independent filmmakers who might have to take hard looks at their bottom lines. Fuck. The entertainment industry has been slow on the uptake, no one is denying that. They're large, complacent companies who own exclusive distribution rights to the movies they make. Why innovate, when you're the only source of the Transformers Special Edition DVD? They probably could push sales and should innovate by founding something like Hulu or iTunes instead of waiting for it to pop up, or giving downloads for decent portions of movies, shows, or albums as samplers. But they don't. That doesn't justify stealing from them.
