Then I saw an entire family of fat people, each dressed as Thor.<BR/><BR/>My depression was palpable.

It's his response that everyone's upset about: <BR/><BR/><I>"Well, you correctly identified the “unsavory” element we were referring to…just one of those absurd phrases (though it exists)."</I><BR/><BR/>He's putting the onus on the critics by calling the term "absurd," though I think I first heard of it back in my pre-internet days (the mid 90s, when I was still in high school). Plus he completely lets Quesada off the hook--"they said it, not me, so let's let the matter go." If Matt Brady doesn't care about the issue, then it certainly lowers my opinion of Newsarama.<BR/><BR/>Andrew, I'd respond about Nick Lowe, etc., but I need to get on to bed, like right now. But yes, I think we generally have pretty similar tastes in music--just different ways of expressing it. That's kind of an understatement, I guess.Dick Hyacinth's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199236541341734429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-92201646714147942092007-05-30T17:36:00.000-07:002007-05-30T17:36:00.000-07:00For the record, Matt Brady's question was this: "H...For the record, Matt Brady's question was this: "How about the Heroes for Hire #13? This has caused some controversy of its own, with some people likening it to a very unsavory recurring element in some more adult-themed manga?"<BR/><BR/>Matt's only crime seems to be that he didn't want to say "tentacle rape" in the follow.
