Pure sleaze

Scripps-Howard News Service talks about some comics-to-film style projects coming up, and with just one sleazy word, the writer manages to reduce the whole subject to rock-bottom perversity:
I should also mention that New York magazine reports that Snyder has figured out how to work in "Tales of the Black Freighter" -- a comic book within the comic book, with a pirate story wherein the main character deteriorates physically and psychologically, mirroring events in "Watchmen" proper. It will likely take the form of an anime extra on the DVD, according to nymag.com, information that may or may not have originated at empireonline.com, or Heidi MacDonald's "The Beat" blog at publishersweekly.com. Ah, incest, thy name is Internet.
Wow, that sure is some way to dumb down the news, even about the internet. I think this can be summed up in one word, and that is: UGH!!! That is not funny, and has to be the sleaziest insult to the 'net I've ever seen, and no way to discuss items like these in the mainstream press.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
