Yesterday, Reuters reported that in Action Comics #900, Superman is mulling over renouncing his American citizenship and becoming a citizen of the world. Last year, Archie Comics announced that there would be an openly gay character hanging out in Riverdale. Last season, the NFL had players wearing pink gloves and cleats to bring awareness to breast cancer.
I hate to sound all unpoliticalcorrectthink, but I am sick and damn tired of being preached to when all I want to do is enjoy myself.
I know, I know, I'm selfish, I'm heartless, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. Yes, I know there are problems in this world. Got it. But does the world's problems have to be advertised in every medium ? Why can't I read a comic book without being preached to about social justice or the flaws of American foreign policy ? Why can't my kid read an Archie comic book without being preached to about equality for homosexuals ? Why can't I watch the Miami Dolphins embarrass themselves without being reminded of the horrors of breast cancer ?
Here's a news flash for DC Comics, Archie Comics, and the NFL: (And this goes double for the bourgeois socialists in Hollywood) We The People want to be entertained. We don't want or need to be preached to every waking moment. If the entertainment industry would stop being so self-righteous for a second, it would realize that We The People are not idiots. We know the world sucks and sometimes we need an escape from it.
God help us all.
He is an illegal alien working for the Mainstream Media using a fake identity.
Good riddance!
Yes, I know that but *this* station has been steadfast in its biblical principles ever since I was a little kid.
It’s the first time they’ve ever spewed *anything* like this.
Ordinarily, their sermons on sexual aberration are calls to repentance and fleeing the lifestyle.
They have a *lot* of programs for helping “gays” get the mental and spiritual help they need.
Never once have I heard them give any “legitimacy” to trannys.
I guess I’m just very disappointed with them.
Except I don’t have hippie-trash long hair.

Believe me, It’s not that I have anything against those suffering from breast cancer, or that I don’t want to see a cure, but when I want to watch football, I want to watch football, nothing more. Nothing more is needed.
I know the feeling....
Clark Kent= Zsa Zsa Huffington ? Christiane Amanpour ?

“Perhaps I’m a bit too cynical, but if I am, it’s not by much!”
There is no such thing as being too cynical.
Liberals are incapable of walking in another person's moccasins - - but wouldn't it be wonderful if the insensitive jerks on the left could imagine what their world would be like if every movie they watched preached a conservative line?
And every comic book series took stands against people who welcomed illegals? Or laughed at gun control 'nuts'? Or if TV shows routinely mocked union members? Would THEY want to pay to see that 'entertainment'?
Then again, few have ever met a liberal elite capable of empathy...
Superman was an illegal alien “coyoted” in by his old man in a space ship.
They never will. It’s genetically impossible for libs to ever think like the rest of us.

Sounds right to me. Almost everything in the media establishes "teams" or "sides".
envy, greed, jealously - sells a lot of product

I could swear I remember reading these back in the day. I don't have them, but I'm certain I read them.
Not at all. I’m a consumer, the most important participant in the capitalist system.
Are you saying you never complain when you are given lousy service at a restaurant ? Wouldn’t that be construed as telling someone how to run their business ?

I need a translation.
