COMIC CON-job BIG SPACE NEEDED FOR TINY-MINDED WASTERS

Halloween assholes? No, these two jerks were dressed up to go to COMIC CON in New York. They were taking a subway. The subway doesn't actually go to the Javits Center. You get out, and walk for 20 minutes. Or transfer to a bus and then walk for another 10 minutes!

You'd think these people would be embarrassed...you're ADULTS aren't you? You have to dress up? You have to grotesquely pretend to be what you're not? You can't just use your imagination and think? You have to spend a fortune to strut around like corny imbeciles?

Yes...and they had plenty of competition. The Javits Center, one of the biggest convention areas in New York City couldn't hold any more dimwits. Demand was bigger than the supply of tickets. Look at all the jerks...

You think the JAVITS CENTER was crowded?

Mommy's basement is FULL. Full of costumes. Comic books. Collector cards. Action figures. CRAP.

All of it is hoarded via Amazon and other mail order websites, and most certainly via COMIC CON sales...as losers scuttle back home with autographed comic books and photos, life-size masks...only to crawl back out the next time there's a convention.

Aside from standing on line for a movie, or a new item at the Apple Store, visiting COMIC CON is the only time jerks leave mommy's basement.

They emerge like snails, squint at the directions for getting to COMIC CON, and waddlr into a car or train or bus. Then they exhaust themselves walking more in a day than they do all year, going up each and every aisle, lost in a ridiculous world of brainless fantasy.

Christ, I know this route, as a spectator. I attended a COMIC CON as a guest of one of the famous people who was getting $40 an autograph. If you weren't making money off the jerks, or getting your ego stroked by having them prayerfully taking a photo, you had every reason to be repulsed. I know the Javits Center too, having been there for more normal conventions. That it was so abominably and uncomfortably crowded for COMIC CON...amuses me slightly, as it means everyone was sweaty and worn out and miserable...but I'm more disgusted.

Alas, COMIC CON is the revolting new pastime that is popping up in major cities all over the world. Greedheads see that there's no reason to restrict it to a few days in San Diego. Nope, it can easily sell out a few days in every major city, and can even do well in ultra-expensive New York City where the hotel rooms cost a fortune and the biggest convention area available is small and pricey.

These Con-Jobs are an outgrowth of the tinier moronic memorabilia conventions that over the past decades catered to faded D-list stars like Linda Blair, David Hedison and Elvira. COMIC CON realized that if Eddie Munster could get $20 for his autograph on a photo...imagine what price an actual A-list star could get. Imagine the promotional value of having a table for a new movie, or a huge display pushing "collectibles" on a franchise like James Bond.

Even worse, COMIC CON pushes COMICS...GRAPHIC NOVELS...utter garbage that childish shit-for-brains dolts refuse to leave behind after puberty. Hey everyone, wouldn't YOU like the autograph of some greasy-haired socially challenged monster who WROTE OR DREW THIS SUPER HERO COMIC BOOK? The fucking COMIC CON greedheads don't just promote movies or video games. Of course not, the very name is COMIC con-job. They're legitimizing the world of badly drawn super heroes and stupidly written sci-fi stink.

The New York Times ran an article about how terrible it was that the Javits Center...a gigantic convention site awkwardly located where no subway or bus is accessible...was SWAMPED by visitors to COMIC CON. Tickets were sold out. Despite having to walk many blocks to reach it, despite no pleasant facilities nearby for eating or tourism, the Javits Center was FILLED TO CAPACITY, forcing the greedheads who run it to have to think ahead for next year!

As in: Do we have one ticket that lets you into several big venues? Do we take over several convention sites? Build some fucking traveling circus tents in New Jersey somewhere? We're TOO POPULAR with all the desperate young people who can't take life's realities and instead devote every waking hour to drooling over some "handsome" dwarf, the latest version of "Star Trek," the newest asshole playing Batman, some virginal bitch who actually has obscene leaked photos, or some other fucking waste of time.

Most major cities have such high-priced real-estate, a building is best served by a honeycomb of offices, not a gigantic space that's only rented out for a convention once a year. The Javits Center can be split in half, and run two big conventions on the same day, but they aren't booked solid. So, aw, a monster-iffic thing like COMIC CON has the greedheads wondering what to do next. Clearly with 150,000 tickets sold out instantly, there's MORE MONEY TO BE MADE, so either extend the convention for an entire week, or think up some "new paradigm."

Remember how it was 10 years ago? 20? Certainly 40 or more years ago...a convention was something doctors had. Maybe teachers. Shriners. Businessmen. It was a few ballrooms in a hotel, that's all. It was certainly NOT related to music or films and definitely not comic books.

But in this dumbed-down world it's now vitally important to amass and bow down to religious leaders like Patrick Stewart and Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

Let's all walk around in capes and wield light sabers and pretend to be Gods of some kind. Let's all obsess over Dr. Who and Captain America and everybody in between, and turn fantasy into some warped reality. Let's face it, there are now two massive groups of psychos in the world...Muslims and Comic Con fans. Neither of them have a clue on how to get along like normal human beings. Both groups are trying to take over the world because their numbers are growing too damn fast.
