Art Show With Barbie And Ken As The Virgin Mary And Jesus Outrages Bishops:
"“Do you think it is finished? If you did, you’re forgetting that there is also the masculine component of the plastic couple. So you can see the faithful and eternal boyfriend Ken dressed as Jesus, Saint Roch, Saint Sebastian or for the politically correct, Buddha,” the website editorial says."

i watched the GOTHAM pilot on HULU and here are some of my thoughts.
- it is not likely that millionaires should go to the movies, a plain ole theatre worked just fine.
- Harvey Bullock and Jim Gordon made me wish for a TV version of Sam and Twitch.
- the dialogue alternated between, campy, unnecessary and excellent, to varying degrees.
- i like Fish Mooney. she will do until the classic characters evolve.
- mi casa es su casa? *sheeesh*
- the sadistic penguin was fun to watch but de-emphasized the cunning aspect of the penguin. vintage Penguin is two-parts genius, one part sadist.
- the cinematograhy is top notch, a crisp, clean Gotham by daylight, eerie at night. good stuff!
- Poison Ivy, Catwoman, the Joker, Penguin, Bruce Wayne, Jim Gordon, et al, are all in their early development stages, should the show have legs we may yet to arrive at a new Batman show for the 21st Century, fully fleshed out with a Rogue's Gallery in place.
- Renee Montoya had an affair with Barbara Keane? who knew?
- favorite line: "cannot have organized crime without law and order". this line presages what we already know, that the Freaks will bloom when the Batman makes his entrance.
- the Penguin should be deaf in his right ear. - little regal Bruce is already in charge of his own destiny.
- i am not going out of my way, but i will watch the show whenever it is opportune to do so, GOTHAM has great potential.

Iron Man Should Move to Cleveland, Not San Francisco - CityLab
Iron Man Should Move to Cleveland, Not San Francisco - CityLab:
"San Francisco doesn't need Iron Man in part because San Francisco has so many capes already. Daredevil relocated to the Bay Area earlier this year. (In fact, according to Mashable, the Superior Iron Man will clash with the Man Without Fear.) Some of the X-Men still live there—maybe? There's good reason for the coastal migration: Some of the things that drew heroes to New York in the first place no longer exist. The Greenwich Village that served as the mystical anchor for Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum is all but gone."

"Dean Hamer believes that he has identified the gene that predisposes our level of spirituality, as he describes in “The God Gene” (2004). But since it will probably prove to be simply one of the many genes involved, he’d have done better to call his book “A God Gene.” The gene in question codes for VMAT2 (vesicular monoamine transporter 2), a protein that wraps chemical messengers (monoamines) in vesicles for transport through the nerve fibers and is crucial to many brain functions."
