Warrior Nerds

The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con is in full sway and while there are many reasons to attend, the best of these might be that Adrianne Curry will be there.



Or not. It depends, some people find her attractive, while others think she is trashy.

Personally, I think both of those qualities are redeeming.

So I used to be a fan of comics. I gave up on it though when my proposal for a new reboot of the Fantastic 4 got shot down by Marvel Comics. They loved the concept but cancelled the project due to fear of public backlash.

Apparently it is frowned upon to draw pictures of He Who Shall Not Be Named Nor Depicted Visually.

Well f*ck you, Marvel. It was a great idea.

It was basically He Who Shall Not Be Named Nor Depicted Visually, the Buddha, Jesus, and Me, all working together and kicking ass. Pretty much the 4 best representatives of our major religions.

But that's all in the past.

Anyway, I know some of you are wondering who my favorite superhero is. Well, it's Superman, but probably not for the reasons you think. Sure, we all know that his space capsule leaving Krypton resembles the story of Moses. And that his name Kal-El is similar to the Hebrew words meaning "Voice of G*d."

But I don't like Superman because of his Jewish undertones. I like him because he is the clearest example of the vast differences between someone who is just a Jew and someone who is a Hasidic Warrior.

Let me explain.

Clark Kent is like your average male Jew. (Maybe he has an apartment in the Upper East Side of NYC, whatever, I digress) He's far too timid to express his feelings towards Lois Lane, and if he ever did grow the balls to ask her out, she would tell him that she wouldn't want to risk ruining their friendship.

Superman, on the other hand, is like a Hasidic Warrior. Lois Lane would bang Superman in an instant if she could. She would drop her panties faster than a speeding bullet.

Faster than you running to the bathroom after eating Gefilte fish even.

That's why I like Superman.
