Figures It'd Be Jesus

Fishermen, Inc. Brings "Fisher of Men" Figures to Life in Plastic

Wow.

Just wow.

And Figures.com asks the hard questions:

Figures.com: According to Christian belief, idolatry is a sin. Do you consider people buying action figures of Jesus idolatry?

Fishermen, Inc: The figurines are not to be worshiped or used for worship. Like a cross hanging from your neck or a “WWJD” bracelet on your wrist, these collectibles are personal reminders of your own beliefs or inspirations.

At this point, I'm assuming these are tongue-in-cheek... but dear God, I hope they aren't.

Concert sauvage dans le métro !

An impromptu concert on the Metro in France of a Phil Collins song, you take your pick as two which version they were doing, Phil or DMX's version. I have to say that this performance was very good.

Long National Nightmare Over

Rick Olney has been banned from CBR and YABS specifically.

He went out in a flame of glory. A shimmering becon of retardedness alit against the night sky.

The best, most wonderfullest bit is here:
Rick is called on again posting a fake picture to prove that he was ever a Marine.

His response is one of the greatest piles of bullsh!t in this history of the interwebs:
"I never claimed to be in that photo, ashat. I only asked if anyone recognized anybody."

And so it ends...

Finally.

Steven Weber's date with Ann Coulter

Steven Weber from people might remember from Wings wrote about his date with Ann Coulter.

Link

I stand at her door. I note the tell-tale silhouette on the upper right part of the jamb where the mezuzah was meticulously pried off. I smile and nod.

That's my girl.

I notice these things. For, love is in the details, my friend. I push the doorbell. From behind the door's baroque density I hear a dreamlike (and hopefully prophetic) "I'm coming" accompanied by the clak clak clak of her exquisitely sharp heels skittering across the marble floor.
I puff out my chest, flare my nostrils and bite down hard on my molars, making sure to present myself in the most virile light. For this specimen of woman is a demanding one. She brooks no impostors, no approximates. She likes the Real Dealissimo, savvy? I continue.

The door opens...and there she is. My Sweet Coult. Her long blonde mane has the metallic sheen of St. Joan's armor and her eyes flicker and glint as though reflecting light from a distant, blazing pyre and she says simply, deceptively "Hello". I enter.
"Nice place", I say.
"Faggot" she says.

10 to 1

Read this backwards. From ten back to one. Actually, scratch that, read it forwards, so when you get to ten you'll be in pain from all these sports related injuries.

Bryan Hitch in Hell

Byran Hitch explains his labors in penciling the Ultimates. His strict work ethics.


I never lounge about. I have a seperate studio building, NO TV, never
answer the phone unless pre-arranged and don't allow myself any
distractions expect playing the pianon whilst the coffee is brewing to
warm up on a morning.


Then Herr Señior Old Ball steps in:

Hence all that crap produced by Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Joe Kubert, Curt Swan, Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, Dick Sprang, etc, etc, etc?

Can we start making excuses for basketball players who can't score to save their lives but look good in shorts?

We do, we call him Shaq, but of course to cop a Quote;


Ah, internet "courage". Someone should bottle it.
