One of the guys at my work said, "What's the big deal? She's so fake now, it's not like you're seeing a part of her anyway..."

Actually, no comic, TV show, movie, or game I've seen so far can match the violence standards of that day when the news made me watch the remains of Saddam Hussein's brother at lunchtime... oh yeah, nothing to help my apetite like a bi-closeup of a corpse with half his face missing and the other half full with holes.
It was his son, but still... That kinda f!%@ed me over. It seems like it was intended to have the same effect as putting the heads of defeated enemies over the city gates. You know, "Don't f##$ with us, and we won't f@@# you up."

'How dare she??? My 6 yr old kid was right there with me, and we were having a fine, wholesome time bonding over an endless series of beer commercials when all of a sudden...'
Heh, there is that. "I'm trying to watch a bunch of steroid abusing millionaires permanantly cripple each other and not get caught by the refs, in between commercials for beer and drugs to make my penis bigger, and I accidentally saw a woman's body! Think of the damage it could do to my son's sexuality if he sees *a woman* during our scheduled two hours of staring longingly at Tom Brady!"

a present for Shiny.....catfish vulture in effect.
Seen that before, actually. And what's this about a catfish vulture?

Naah, that's what I call scavenging others' work.
Ah, I see. I thought you were talking about this guy.
Don't worry. Now that Disney owns marvel I'm certain you will be seeing no more rape scenes in Spider-Man.

Ahh, sweet sweet nostalgia. I think the very first thread I ever read on the Paizo messageboards devolved into a Liefield hate-fest. Our disdain and resentment for him will never die.I'm certain that a psychological condition will eventually be discovered where the subject is unable to perceive human feet. I officially propose it be named Liefield Syndrome.
We al suffer frome Lefield derangement syndrome. It's rather related to grognard syndrome. Saddly, when I was in high school I also bought into the "Rob is a god" derangement.

NOOOO! That's a side effect of Final Crisis and One More Day... it's been reconned so you now believe it's your fault! I still remember the truth, it wasn't our fault!
Uh oh, a black car just pulled up outside and now Alex Trebek & Jesse Ventura are getting out.... AUGH, don't give in, the truth is ou- [END CARRIER]
Wait, that seems strngely familiar. Must remember, must not let Tommy Lee Jones win....

Jose Chung: Aren't you nervous telling me all this? Receiving all those death threats?Blaine: Well, hey, I didn't spend all those years playing Dungeons and Dragons and not learn a little something about courage.

Sadly, when I was in high school I also bought into the "Rob is a god" derangement.
I so loathed what he did to the New Mutants, that I cheered him on to great success at Image, and even bought the first half-dozen issues of Youngblood, to support his new venture, in the hopes that he never, ever, came back!
OTOH, I totally bought into the 'Jim Lee is a god' and 'Mike Turner is a god' derangements. I'm a sucker for pretty, pretty art.
It's not like there was any other reason to buy Witchblade, Fathom or The Darkness (which I did, slavishly). The stories were rubbish.
