Post-modern superhero


Looks like the guy from King of Queens.
He has exzema on his right arm.
His nunchaku look like a pair of seasonal candles from the Yarn Barn.
He's sporting Superman's away jersey.
His mask is a clear indication that America's children are getting fatter.
His digital watch is blinking "12:00"
He has a fresh hair-cut, meaning that it's nearing Christmas or it has just passed.
The Christmas tree lacks any record of school art projects from his childhood.
He will have those nunchaku confiscated by his parents and they will put a lock on the outside of his bedroom door in the coming months.


This guy is clearly the unwashed mass that supports the magic bullet theory of media effects.

He represented the edenic state; I want to uneat the apple and remain blissfully tied to a snackcakes, kool-aid, and syndicated cartoon routine.


"that's all folks..."
