By "pro-business," he means "pro-businesses-that-pay-me; the rest can go ^&%^& yourselves."

No, he was such a great reality TV host.

These days, he seems more given to hosting fiction on TV.

So, he wasn't, but he's got his buds there now to call him one.

I rest my case.

They're thinking it's okay because it's their turn, and they're always right.

More to the point, why does Hanes keep running those creepy commercials of him trying to show his underwear to Michael Jordan?

I mean, Tiger Woods gets whacked with a golf club from his wife and loses his sponsorships. What could possibly cause anyone to think a commercial of a guy who beat and shot his wives stalking MJ would make me more likely to buy their product? Especially a week after his antics are all over the front pages. Again.

Boycott Hanes. Go commando if you have to.

That was, what, 1993? There are kids driving now who weren't born when that came out.

As I recall, Icon was depicted as a Frederick Douglass, "by your own bootstraps" type - mainly so that his sidekick could show him how wrong his viewpoint was.

Why would anyone inflict more Millar on themselves voluntarily?

I wouldn't get too attached to V. After all, Disney fired the creator the week before it came out after trying their best to hamstring it (conditional order, reduced to 4 issues, the same stunt that killed Lost's ratings). I don't doubt the obvious politics played a major role just as they did with neutering 24.

"where writers are free to express a wealth of unique viewpoints on issues ranging from religion, politics, ethics, science, and technology"

I must have missed the pro-life comics. The anti-global-warming-cult ones? The pro-evangelical ones? Heck, the pro-America ones. Oh, I don't doubt there may be some tiny, independent publisher who puts out a couple of hundred issues a year who covers these. But from the Big Two? Or any major label?

I'm wondering where the diversity of viewpoint is, because from my perspective, the Big Two are doing everything in their power to get rid of it.

Brilliant stuff, Adam. Though, as a Browncoat, I'd still love ya even if you were the other A. Baldwin. Just not as much. :)
