Better question: why does io9 have this page to gawk at horrific, non-sci-fi related crime stories, and not, oh, I dunno, GAWKER?

Joel even referenced it in M:THoF, to give courage to the `bots:

This list has THE worst of the worst (IMO) at #11: Invasion of the Neptune Men, the Prince of Space like clone without the comic relief of Phantom, the (Chicken Headed) Dictator of Krankor.

Totally read that in Newt’s voice.

Your comment needs to be.... “full of stars!”

As a true otter myself, I approve of this story. :)

“Never said it was an indication of quality...”

Popularity =/= quality, sir, as I would expect someone versed in comics to know. #JustSayin’

Fuck that movie and its fucking awful ending. That is all.

Absolutely correct, my bad. I believe others below covered the polytheists, etc, however I was completely incorrect leaving out Muslim and Jewish fundamentalists in my statement. I believe they, too, would have just as much problems as the Christian fundies.

As in the movie “Contact,” Christian fundamentalists would flip the fuck out and deny it all, regardless of how much evidence was presented. Such behavior is their raison d’etre.

Same here. I just found out with this article, and will be cancelling my subscription ASAP. I’m not letting a fucking CENT of my money go to him if I can help it.

Chris Almighty, THIS again?

Seriously?? You’re forgetting SOUTH CAROLINA? The state that tried to start a Civil War TWICE and actually succeeded the second time? The state that gave welcome and succor to PTL and Heritage USA?? The state of John C. Calhoun, of Strom Thurmond, of Benjamin Tillman?? THE STATE THAT GAVE US HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH???

So... this has NOTHING really to do with the subject matter at hand, I just wanted you to know that I look forward to the return of your AoS Recaps almost as much as the I do the show itself.

Fairly certain a good way to not get “pull[ed] back down” by people is to NOT engage in repeated physical abuse of others, regardless of whether one’s star is rising or achieved its zenith. That has nothing to do with being black or white, or liberal or conservative; it has to do with being a decent human being or…

“The lightsaber is something that he built himself, and is as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged as the character,”

I love how jagged and ragged the blade is; not at all smooth and even like a lightsaber dating back from the Clone Wars. As if it were cobbled together in haste, with spare parts (as it may very well have - we’ll soon see! :) ).

Uh, I think you mean “ugly.” UGLY! UGLY! BAGS! OF MOSTLY! WATER! ;)
