M&M Battles
Obviously, that previous post did not work and I did in fact jinx any hope of reopening the blog any time soon. So this time, no false hope, just a treat from a truly wondrous individual:

Female Superheroes
Good point, Joanna. Comic books have always done a fair amount of serving (or at least tickling) fetishy itches, and now that we're all agreed they are an adult's medium as much as a children's one, there isn't anything really wrong with that. As long as the proper titles are directed at the proper audience, it's fine.
I think they get into the most trouble when the hypocrisy kicks in: when they start pretending there ISN'T a bondage fetish, or that men DON'T like looking at big bouncy breasts, or that degrading a woman's icon actually empowers them. That's where their credibility goes down the toilet with all but the terminally gullible.
The fact is, comic books have not evolved past "Quiet or Papa spank" while the rest of the world HAS, and their attempts to appear enlightened about women come off like the 70s sitcoms making a production of the black guy who was a lawyer and not a janitor. It's your father... -

Heartbeat msg
Hey gang,
Was a good holiday, don't get me wrong. It's a very hectic new year, however, and what free time I have is going into the new chapter and the TBA that ate Tokyo. So there hasn't been any spare bits of Chris for blogging, and frankly, that isn't likely to change in the near future. So enjoy the old entries until I'm blocked and need to procrastinate or something.
Ciaomeow, as we say in the real neighborhood.

Biased, Stupid, Opportunists or Lazy? This one we can fix.
Dennis Leary is doing the talk shows right now promoting his new book: Why We Suck. One story that keeps coming up is the PC outcry over comments in a chapter about parents special needs kids, but not the real ones, the ones whose needs actually aren't that special. The kids who don't actually have anything wrong with them except that their parents haven't done their f-ing job as parents and are essentially shopping doctors to get the diagnosis which gets them off the hook.
The chapter begins talking about a real autistic child, and how anyone who knows a family with one of these kids knows the enormous time such a child requires, the exhausting emotional toll it takes, etc. It is impossible to read this passage and not see that it is written by someone aware of and sympathetic to the plight of those families. All you have to do in order to understand he's talking about the other parents shopping doctor is to read and process all the words on the...
