Really? Really, really<\/a>? Fanboys like boobs is news and suddenly appalling? Did we cure cancer and I missed it? Is that why we have all this free time? I think I strained a muscle rolling my eyes at both sides<\/a> (Seriously dude. Any rebuttal that includes “You obviously don’t or haven’t read Spider-Man in the past 20 years or you’d know this.” isn’t helping. Or winning, for that matter.)<\/p>\n

Really, if and when Hughes ever designs the 70’s, Club 54, party-girl comiquette (why is nobody complaining about that word? Is it just me?) of Miss Watson, will there be enough spare outrage to rail against injustice? Perhaps it should be saved for a better shot than this.<\/p>\n

But here we are. Fanboys – own up. You’re buying statue boobies and everybody knows it, you Maxim-wanking lunks, you. Offended fangirls, give ‘er, but I think in a world where Jae Lee art gets into the hands of tens of thousands of young men, a limited edition run of Spidercheesecake isn’t the best shot (but it’s generated a lot of discussion, so what do I know?) – I think of it like this; Spider-man has a day job and a night job, whereas Mary-Jane just has the day job, and it’s acting, so I think it’s very nice that she offered to do his laundry. This once…<\/p>\n

…or maybe NOT! Maybe she’s going, “Tiger, this sweaty body suit stinks – and it’s dark, so please don’t throw it in with my lights.”<\/p>\n

We just don’t know.<\/p>\n

So, someone fill me in – how’d we conquer cancer?<\/p>\n

[UPDATE]<\/p>\n

Despite grumpily swearing I wasn’t going to fight this one, I kind of kept thinking about it<\/a>. I still think this is a stupid battle for a good war. I’m now attempting alternatives.<\/p>\n

I hope Matt’s post makes it onto When Fangirls Attack soon, but until then dear readers, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahhhahahahahahahaha! Awesome.<\/a> It’s like the office discussion rendered into reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
