Wednesday, March 07, 2007Why kill Captain America? Yahoo! news just reported that legendary comic book hero, Captain America, is doomed. The character will be killed in the issue that hits stands today. Captain America, known for his red, white, and blue uniform, is iconic of World War II patriotism.I think Marvel Entertainment Inc., deserves a giant, glimmering award for the Worst Timing Ever. What other country would kill off their namesake superhero character during a war? This makes no sense to me. It seems as if everyday there is some new grim report about our country; who hates us, CIA leaks, startlingly low government approval ratings...the list could go on and on. With all of our troubles, I can't imagine a Marvel Exec deciding that this would perfect time to kill (and by sniper bullet no less) a figure that for over 60 years has stood for national pride, imaginary or otherwise. I'm no conspiracy theorist (okay, I SO am), but I don't think whacking Captain America was a random decision. This makes me think of a teenager, so mad at his parents, that burns his house down. Hello! Your room is in there! We live in this country. We do business in this county. It's far from perfect, but let's save the shots for the bad guys, okay? As an entrepreneur, I feel extremely lucky to live in a country that allows me to pretty much do business as I see fit. There is a reason so many rags to riches stories come out of the U.S., we foster the entrepreneur spirit and help it thrive. Why do you think so many people fight so hard to become citizens and do business here? Maybe, I've got it all wrong. Perhaps Captain America will come back to life in a future issue and save us all from greenhouse gases. I still Marvel should have broken his leg, not killed him entirely. What's the popular saying? Don't sh-t where you eat. Yahoo! News article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070307/ap_on_en_ot/captain_america Posted by Mommy's Company.com @ 8:52 AM
