Sci-Fis 100

In the new 'Entertainment Weekly' they have the 100's of Sci-Fi, a collection of the 100 best Sci-Fi from books, movies, games, and TV. Rounding out the Top Ten is Superman.

From the article: 'He was created by two teenagers from Cleveland, writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and introduced in the premier issue of Action Comics in 1938. Supe would become one of the most reconizable characters-comic book or otherwise-in the world. The heart of his appeal: He personifies the best of humankind-ironic since, technically, he was an alien. The Man soon found his way into other media, including a 1940 radio show and a series of beautiful cartoon shorts. Although future TV and film incarnations would vary widely in quality, his stature in the national mythos has never wavered. He was, after all, Superman.'

I should hope so considering that Entainment Weekly and DC Comics Are owned by the same Company.

I am surprised it did not make No 1.

I really don't think that EW does that much for Supes. I've read articles slandering Supes in it, and in that same issue, they talk about Marvel... of course, that's 'cause a Marvel comic said 'A kike known as Sabretooth'. They said it was a typo and they meant killer! How can that be a typo? Being Jewish, and a DC fan, I'm offended by that. This is MUCH worse than that judgement call back in Man of Steel!

In last week's CSN, Peter David points out that the writer could have easily typed 'kikker' instead of 'killer', and spell-checking 'Kikker' would return 'kike'. So, I'm pretty sure that no sinister intent was meant there.

That actually makes sense. I've heard that the mutant that was being referred to isn't Jewish, so I guess it wasn't meant to be offensive. I never really believed that they were trying to offend, I just know a few people who like Marvel better than DC, and I've trying to rub this issue in their faces.

What kind of Nazi-programmed spellchecker gives 'kike' when it's confused? I suppose if I misspelled 'Niagra' (as in Niagra Falls) it would give me 'nigger', etc.?

I tried it in Wordperfect 6.1, but it didn't happen.
