The stupidty of it all... I can't believe it.

It is a sad, sad day for the comic industry when comics are stigmatized as a medium "just for kids". And while I'm not exactly someone who reads adult comics, it's really stupid when it's considered a crime for an adult to purchase one when it's within his/her rights. And why the sudden rap on comics? Mobs of mindless parents, priests, and politicians suddenly show concern for the welfare of their "children" and since comics are easier to blame than television or video games, they go for it.

Sometimes, it makes me glad I live here in the Philippines and while most Filipinos practice folk catholicism, we aren't as fanatical as our Western counterparts.

And then I remember the Verum Est incident wherein Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons were proclaimed evil, the number people who proclaim that Harry Potter is Satanic, and an incident once in our church where there was a public outcry against the violence in "cartoons" like X-men.

People are idiots. Some probably don't even know that some popular movies like Road to Perdition were adapted from graphic novels.
