I had to check IMDB as I never heard of Sledge Hammer. Does not ring a bell at all. Looks like it was a real hit at two seasons.

It was quite amusing in an Airplane/Police Squad kind of way. They're talking shit anyway, had anyone seen 'Happy' on ScyFy/Netflix. Ultra-violent/non-PC and it has a Roger Rabbit type cartoon unicorn in it!

The show was actually great. Loved it as a kid, loved it when the DVDs were finally released. The lead character was a caricature of a trigger happy cop à la Dirty Harry, an idiot whose only meaningful relationship was to his gun. It’s also famous for its unsolvable cliffhanger at the end of the first season, which made so much noise that the show was basically renewed because of it. Of course M*****l and some others fail to see the irony of the show actually mocking their values. Vigilante Cop : The reason we're here, Inspector Hammer, is to invite you to join a clandestine group whose members share the singular purpose of righting wrongs through force and aggression. Sledge Hammer : Oh, I'm already a registered Republican. Or the fact that its gratuitous cartoonesque violence is much more common these days. It was lately found in Adult Swim shows such as NTSF:SD:SUV:: or Eagleheart (with Chris Elliott as a bargain bin Walker Texas Ranger who saves the real “blues” from old blind black bluesmen). There are also shows such as The Boys (nominated for best drama at the Emmys, so it’s definitely not some obscure under the radar show) that comment on the fascist views that often come with superhero shows, using a lot of gore to make their point. And just last week, there was one particularly graphic moment in the What We Do in the Shadows episode set in Atlantic City. They're talking shit anyway, had anyone seen 'Happy' on ScyFy/Netflix. Ultra-violent/non-PC and it has a Roger Rabbit type cartoon unicorn in it! The first season was great. With Patton Oswalt as the voice of the imaginary friend and Chris Meloni as the unlikable hero. And it was based on comics by Grant Morrison (Doom Patrol). Unfortunately, Morrison’s original story for season 2 was a huge letdown, even if there was a great sequence when the unicorn loses his virginity.

The exploding nuns was all I needed to get hooked on Season 2

This just showed up at Yahoo… (And FWIW, I’m effing sick of how much of Yahoo’s content now comes from Fox News and the Washington Examiner. I usually scroll past it all, but the title of this one amused me.) The reason I’m putting the article here is this colorist dweeb has GOT to be a SHite. (I mean, get a load of his last name! ) Yeah…a douchebag colorist just has to be the lynchpin of Superman’s creative team… (As for the “American way” part of the slogan, it’s fucking cringe-inducing. But, I guess Faux News now needs to whip up some faux outrage at something totally insignificant.)

The morning show I listen to was talking about this the other day (no opinions or anything, they shy away from that kind of crap), and after reading this article, no, I don't blame them for changing that. Have they not seen what passes for "the American way" anymore? It's a fucking circus. When that is basically what SHites entail, yeah, I would change my fuckin slogan too.

Oh noes, I hope DC is able to find another artist that can color in Superman's red briefs. I guess this dolt can try and become the next Ben Garrison and draw some unfunny racist political cartoons.
Oh, and there's a small town in southern Illinois called Metropolis that has a Superman statue. It's in a pretty conservative Trumpist area, so I wonder if the MAGAts will want to pull down that statue, or maybe they'll respect "history" the way they do when it's a statue of a Confederate general.
EDIT: I found a picture of the statue and it says TRUTH-JUSTICE-THE AMERICAN WAY at the bottom so the Trumpists will worship it as the real non-woke Superman.

Funny how one single guy (I've spared myself reading details about this story, for my sanity, but I assume the arsonist is either crazy and/or my new hero) burning a TV channel's Christmas tree forebodes the end of civilization, yet white supremacists storming the U.S. Capitol is kinda just necessary sometimes.

The guy who burned the tree didn't make a PowerPoint first, so he's an existential threat to Western civilization.

The guy who burned the tree had not been attending “burn the tree” rallies, so I think the other trees are safe.
