#Occupy Wall st: Frank Miller says it Best

Posted: 18th November 2011 by Jon in COMICS/Books, MOVIEs, NEWS

“Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense:

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.

cover B NAT JONES & JAY FOTOS

In February of 1968, Teddy Calhoun came home from Vietnam and brought a piece of the war back with him.

Now, Teddy will do whatever he must to protect his family from the murderous approach of ‘Charlie’ and an army of the risen, hungry dead. ’68 Hardship is a journey into a psychological realm of hallucination, violence and undead horror. Written by MARK KIDWELL, with monstrous artwork by JEFF ZORNOW and JAY FOTOS, this one-shot is a direct tie-in with the regular ongoing ’68 series, extending the world of Vietnam/Zombie horror to America’s heartland and your own backyard.

This is an epic example of RUINING Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is one of the most popular costumes every year for Halloween and rarely is it ever done correctly. When done correctly it can be the sexiest costume ever, but it’s tough to pull off so I hope you’re ready for the commitment. If not I would suggest you just go as some sort of “sexy” animal.

As a Halloween Junkie I have built numerous costumes throughout the years and striven for accuracy with every one. If you’re going to do something… do it right. The following is a list of rules that can help  any Halloween costume (or Horrible David E. Kelley Pilot Wonder Woman Desex-ifying cheap ass costume)  but are especially tailored to this epidemic of false wonder women.
WARNING: Ladies it says it all in the title, chances are you might get offended or angry or even a little sad, but in this instance I’m giving you what you insist you crave so badly….the awful truth.
