Great video this week. What bugs me, though, is that I recognized Turner D. Century, and I have no idea how. I've read maybe 3 superhero comics in my entire life (that's 3 issues, not series), so I'm hardly a repository of geek culture ephemera. Oh well, must have n across him over at Superdickery or one of those sites.
Oh, and America is hardly alone in its fringe groups clamoring for cultural nostalgia. Here in Tokyo we've got a governor (Shintaro Ishihara, if you want to look him up)who was born early enough to experience the war, but too late to serve, and has been trying to assuage his survivor's guilt ever since through hyper-patriotic demands that Japan return to its former glory, drive out anyone who's not pure Nihonjin, put the women back in the kitchens and brothels, and get all the damn sexy homos off TV so they'll stop tempting him.
