Do you get it? Do you? Huh? Huh?

Censorship is when you decline to show something because you will get in trouble if you do. Sensitivity is when you decline to show something because it will make other people uncomfortable. Censorship keeps you thinking of yourself as a person, while sensitivity has you thinking of the other as a person.

Lisa Fortuner speaks the truth at Newsarama.

When women complain about the horribly misogynist portrayals of women in superhero comics, we are NOT asking for censorship. So stop saying that we are. I know it's really hard on the White Male Privilege to be sensitive to other people, but c'mon, give it a try.

More Spidey goodness.

w00t! Spidey 3 in IMAX!

We will DEFINITELY be reviewing it. But I have to say that the commercials currently running on Cartoon Network are pretty lame. The trailers are way better.
