While ISIS runs wild, let's ENCOURAGE COMIC-CON ASSHOLES

Oh for FUCK'S SAKE, is EVERYONE escaping into the idiot worlds of Marvel heroes, Games of Thrones, Star Fucking Wars and the rest of that shit?

At one time collecting comic books was for 12 YEAR OLDS. You threw away your stupid costumes when you were too old for Halloween. Now everybody buys "graphic novels" and adults celebrate Halloween more than kids.

And there's this fucking COMIC-CON, not just in San Diego, but versions of it all over the world. Yes, not to mention all the similar memorabilia nitwit conventions where Bill Huel- er, Bill HOOBASTANK grins and pays $40 to pose with somebody who wore a monkey suit in "Planet of the Apes."

As if COMIC-CON isn't enough of a con, and hasn't gotten enough publicity with an appearance by Christ himself...HARRISON FORD, there's THIS sappy, revolting subhuman interest article:

Oh yeah. This moron wore his stupid outfit as a tribute to his ugly fat dead wife?

I think not. I think he would've gone to COMIC-CON wearing it anyway. If she was still alive and wasting her breath, SHE would've put on something equally ridiculous.

After all, these losers had nothing else going for them except a morbid fascination with sci-fi horse-shit.

They're not alone, of course. THOUSANDS of assholes go to these events in costumes. THOUSANDS MORE spend a fortune on pathetic "memorabilia." MILLIONS seem to waste most of their time in forums, on blogs, and Tweeting about this inane nonsense, and exchanging trivia and trying to outdo each other in posting pictures of the junk they own.

There are way too many FARCEBOOK "appreciation society" groups and there's probably one (or more) for just about every failed sci-fi TV show, comic book or movie ever made, and DOZENS for the "BIG" ones like DOCTOR FUCKING WHO, AND STAR FUCKING WARS and STAR FUCKING TREK.

Back to the story, and a picture of Mr and Mrs. Loser.

Yeah, what a COOL COUPLE. An old hippie-burnout moron with the fucked up "shades" over his eyes, and his fat pig peon wife (you wouldn't expect him to snag someone who wasn't repulsive) wearing that dimwit hat and grinning about it.

The media encourages this.

Sure. It's all about the money. Come on, SPEND MONEY at COMIC-CON. SPEND MONEY on EBAY. SPEND MONEY collecting JUNK.

What's the bottom line? People are frightened by reality...by gun violence, by Mexicans, by "niggers," by pollution and climate change. SO...they reside in a dream world where laser guns zap away any problem. 90% of the people on the screen are white. Almost all the super heroes are white. The enemies they vanquish? Green or purple mutant alien versions of the brown and black immigrants they fear.

Aren't the distorted monsters in these dopey films really just substitutes for ISIS?

There's nothing new in all this. Back in the 60's, on the original "Star Trek," the Klingons were just another name for the Communists.

It would be nice if living in a fantasy world purged anxiety, but I doubt it's the case. It just denies reality. People who watched "Star Trek" in its original form still knew what Communists were. They still knew that the Communist way of life (including no copyright, and "sharing" everything you owned) was a lousy way of life. After they turned off the set, they stayed in the real world and didn't wear pajama-uniforms to work. And since there was no Internet or eBay or even comic book stores, they didn't WASTE THEIR TIME AND MONEY ON COLLECTING SHIT. At best, they bought a few comic books or trading cards. It wasn't a LIESTYLE.

That was the 60's. Now? Now the Millennials who watch the latest "Star Trek" movie are completely lost in wearing those pajama uniforms, and collecting action figures and a model of The Starship Enterprise as big as can fit into their basement. They've got their own new Kirk and Spock so they don't even worry about mortality. Nimoy can drop dead (and did) and Shatner can drop dead and it won't bother their world in the least.

There's a fucking HBO show or a Marvel movie or a Disney epic for EVERY (lack of) TASTE. Whatever your need, there's a Batman, a Superman, a Spiderman, an ancient civilization, a sci-fi planet or a THING to make you open your wallet and riffle all over money into some dealer's hands.

And THIS story!

Some nerdy fool contacts the media and says, "Hey hey hey, write me up, I'm wearing a silly costume and trekking to that Comic-Con convention."

And the answer is, "You and a million others."

So he says, "Wait, I'll not only pose in a stupid outfit, but I'll tell you I'm doing it to honor my DEAD WIFE!"

Ah. Guy wears Star Wars outfit to honor the dead wife he used to dress up in costumes with. OK, media whore moron, your dream comes true. YOU are now a STAR.

"Oh, thank you, I'll put on my costume, and be ready for your reporter to interview me. And, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES YES YES YES MR. DEMILLE, I'M...READY...FOR...MY...CLOSEUP!"
