Further proof that america is shit

White Spider-Man. Black Spider-Man is a teenager (well, Ultimate Spidey was a teen too). He's also gay.

 

That was a rumour. Black spiderman isn't gay, don't believe everything you see on the internet.

 

There's more than one gay comic book character (even though most of them come out and are mysteriously never heard from again), so it's not like it would be unprecedented to believe a new character was gay due to a lack of proper information about them online. At the time I read the rumor, I knew that it took place in the Ultimate universe, which means a total re-vamp of a character would not be unexpected. However, I didn't read the entire article, which means I missed the part where a direct quote from the character designer that said, "In the future, a black or gay -or both- hero will be considered something absolutely normal." The quote was what the rumor was based on, despite it not ever saying the new Spider-Man was gay.
I just kinda figured, alright; It's the Ultimate universe. Parker killed by the Goblin? Ok. Replacement Spidey is black and latino? Interesting. New Spidey possibly gay? This is even more interesting. I just figured they did it to pull a triple-whammy, because killing a popular character and making the one who takes up their mantle a different race isn't edgy enough. Doesn't really change anything though. People shouldn't be upset about it; normally, when a character dies in a comic book, they come back a couple months later. And, this is only one iteration of Spider-Man, it's not like every single Peter Parker was killed and replaced by a previously unknown character.
This was one of those situations where you hear or read something that's not true, but it fits in the context at hand so you're not surprised or upset about it and accept that it's a possibility, or even true.

But, what you said explains what I saw on facebook.

 

They couldn't make him black, gay, and a teenager. He needs to have a redeeming quality of some sort.

 

As funny as that is, and it's really funny...it's true. No one would read that comic book.

 

Not even gay, black teenagers?

 

Like I said, no one.

 

You're all forgetting that Grossenschwamm's dreams always come true.

Always.

 

Only when he dreams about TV shows.

 

I can't prove anything, as memories can be fabricated to suit one's experiences.
And while those words may be incredibly close to my actual words, it's mainly because I forgot to specify that it was only when I dreamt about TV shows or realistic personal events. It's even happened with shows I've already seen, like a few episodes of DBZ that I watched nearly a decade before, only to watch them again, one after another just like in the dream. Hulu...
I've already come to terms with my inability to actually prove any of what's happening. I'm just going to experience it, since it's not particularly useful. Even if it's not a show I've seen, it's already come out by the time I dream about it, and the dreams are so accurate, I must have seen the show at some point and forgotten about it. I mean, obviously, right? Since the material is readily available to anyone with an internet connection and Netflix.
Note that, while the second explanation is actually plausible, it's not actually what happened. Reality is stranger than fiction...I maintain I'm not breaking any universal laws by having these dreams, since I only tell people about them after the events have occurred. Haven't any of you ever had a dream about a television show you enjoy? It's like that for me, except an identical show has actually been written, performed, and aired on a major television network. In the case of the Futurama movies, which I found so funny I actually laughed, I thought I was more imaginative and funny than the team of writers who came up with the script for the first four seasons of the show. Turns out, I was just channeling a moment in time where I saw how much better the show had gotten after Fox dropped them.

I currently participate in a political organization that writes petitions to keep things from happening, and the last one I took part in was attempting to bar AT&T from buying out T-Mobile, because, in direct opposition to what AT&T said, the merger would cause the loss of about 20,000 jobs, as well as be entirely more expensive than simply increasing infrastructure to extend their network's coverage to 97% of the US. Basically, they wanted to get rid of competition, and almost got away with it, until one of their lawyers let slide that they just didn't want people to have a choice in network coverage.
We had a bit of a victory, if only because that particular lawyer is really dumb. Now the government's antitrust lawyers are checking things out, and are against the merger.
Now, I'm wondering why these laws regarding domestic issues haven't been brought up, because if enough people sign a petition, it's actually a good way to show what people want. This is hurting more people than the potential 20,000 who could lose their jobs if the merger takes place. Does the government make money from domestic claims?

 

So... you're a supporter of Congress?

 

I'm a supporter of congress, but only between a man and a woman. Homos can suck my dick!

 

Yeah, fuck the gays!

 

No! Its a trap!

 

Congress as a whole doesn't write petitions, they use filibusters. I mis-spoke when I said "political organization." It's really just a charity organization (called Greater Good) that acts to affect laws and change at the behest of the people involved in it, i.e. the masses.
So no, I don't support congress or any political body.

 

If I had to support congress with a political body, I'd probably choose Sarah Palin's.

 

Do you actually find her attractive, or are you using her to promote the impetus of this thread, i.e. America being shit?

 

I would bang her.
