…if by ‘art’, you mean the crappy fan drawings of a 13-year-old boy who spends all his non-masturbatory time reading comics (and some of his masturbatory time too) and won’t have a girlfriend for another 20 years.
Apparently there’s a new movement in the States consisting of self-styled ’superheroes’ trying to combat crime armed only with spandex, plastic groin armour and an overwhelmingly overoptimistic sense of self-belief. Now one such chap, known (probably only to himself) as Phoenix Jones, has made headlines after being arrested for trying to break up what he thought was a fight by running around pepper-spraying girls and shouting in a voice like the one Cartman uses in South Park when he’s a superhero.
Now I’m not a hater. The desire to right wrongs, fight crime and make the world safer is all good by me, it’s just unlikely that anyone who dresses up in shiny tights will be any good at it. And apparently even other ’superheroes’ have denounced Mr Jones’ style of crime-fighting. People who call themselves things like ‘Dark Guardian’ (real name ‘Chris’) have voiced their opinions: “He rushed into a situation and reacted with very poor judgement.”
Of course, some would say that the poor judgement came into play long before, perhaps at the point where he decided to become a superhero despite a) not having any superpowers and b) superpowers not existing anyway (or DO THEY?). Others would say the poor judgement came into play at the point where he decided to wear leggings. And still others would wonder why he took the time to get one of those special torch headbands from a camping shop but couldn’t find any socks.
But regardless, this is all extremely funny as long as you’re not the one getting maced or arrested, so here’s the article and video for your enjoyment:
