Word of the Day: Underwear Perverts
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 | Comic Books, Word of the Day |
Underwear perverts - the name Cory Doctorow suggests for Marvel and D.C. superheroes, to protest the fact that Marvel and D.C. Comics are claiming a trademark on the term “superhero” to prevent other entities from using the term.
Bonus! - Seanbaby’s Superfriends pages are a laff riot that are hours of fun. The Wonder Woman entry seems appropriate here.
Wonder Woman - She gets a lot of crap for her star panties even though everyone on her team wears pretty much the same outfit. It’s like every superhero went swimming one morning and said, “Shit, guys. We don’t have to go home and change! We could just go fight crime like this.” I guess it does look a little bit cheap on Wonder Woman, though. Samurai’s only wearing bloomers and gogo boots too, but he’s from Japan, and there’s that insane cultural gap. We’re lucky he’s not wearing dead fish and a pink cowboy hat. Maybe this is another gender double standard like how boys can have sex with girls without being called lesbians, but Wonder Woman should have at least put on a skirt.”
Hat tip to Swanky for the Sean Baby link.

Heh.
(Although I thought the previous WOTD was “Foo-Fighters”.

Is that the 1982 World’s Fair Sunsphere behind them?
It sure is. That was the poster for this year’s Adventurecon in Knoxville a few weeks ago.
And Tam, right you are. Fixed.
I loved this. I wasted more time this a.m. over at Seanbabies.
And I wrote and blamed you Les.
Hee.
Much fun.
