Things that are silly.

1.  This blog post that provides "uncomfortable summaries" for various popular movies and TV shows. 

My favorites from the list are:

• BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.
• MR BEAN: Austistic loner finds every day a struggle, to his sadness and frustration.
• KING KONG: Endangered animal stolen, shot.
• TORCHWOOD: Bisexual is inefficient manager.

2. Perusing TV tropes, I was led to an article speculating about the religious affiliation of Batman, which contained this phrase: "Newsweek also listed Spider-Man as a Protestant, The Thing as Jewish, The Hulk as a lapsed Catholic, Daredevil as a Catholic, Batman as a lapsed Catholic or disaffected Episcopalian and Captain America as a Protestant..."  I'm still giggling over it.

Hee hee! I think my favorite has to be the one for The Dark Knight Returns:

Aging sadist corrupts, endangers minor, facilitates murder, destroys superhero comic books for 30 years.

Not like anyone was bitter about the Nineties Anti-Hero and all his fell breed, no...
