I like the thought of them just cruising around with the windows down of an afternoon, looking out for trouble on Gotham's football fields.<br /><br />Also, does the "4 Eyes" mask actually have four eyes or was it just a pair of glasses? Cause that seems like a rip to me.

After all, Robin didn't seem to get it until Batman spelled it out for him.<br /> And don't forget, sometimes adults who run TV shows and or do comic books tends to overestimate kids' intelligence... Just take a good look at some of the latest kiddie TV shows, such as the "The Super Hero Squad Show" also known as the "Super Squaddies". Now that is seriously watered down cr@P... All of the recognizable superhero characters act and think like they're.... well, stupider than an mentally challenged person. I'm not kidding at all. and even my six-year-old nephew loathes the show.... and it's actually supposed to be directed at his age group. Apparently he dislikes it because of how it seems to insult the intelligence of his age group.<br /><br /> It's one of those things that you chalk up as an "What the heck were thy thinking?!" Moment.<br /><br /> And don't even get me started on the double standards of the other pages.. that's something I could go on and on about. :PAurora Moonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-91972480328521948812009-12-04T16:15:25.946-06:002009-12-04T16:15:25.946-06:00Right on, Mad and Adam.

The "minstrel" isn't the worst one, though.<br /><br />Note that while the "silly black dude" mask is called "Minstrel", the "silly white dude" mask is called "Idiot". So you should probably ask which is worse: basing a mask on a fictional character stereotype commonly used in stage productions(that most people would recognize as a CHARACTER just like the rest of the masks), or basing a mask on a stereotypical portrayal of a real-life mental condition? Oh wait, idiots are still made fun of today despite our "tolerance" and "sensitivity".<br /><br />Wow, I did not mean for that to turn into a rant.

They also play a "censored" version of Pink's "I'm Coming Up" (or whatever the title is) where "ass" is replaced by "-ens", where they take part of the "Mercedes Bens" line and edit it in, but I'm pretty sure there's another song with "ass" in the lyrics that goes unchallenged.<br /><br />Maybe the CCA programs music for those stations? :)ShadowWing Tronixhttp://bwmedia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
