This morning I was watching Superman on HBO2. It got me to thinkin.
You know how philosophical I can get.
Conservatives are all up in arms because Superman Returns doesn't mention fighting for the American way.
There are some who are saying Hollywood intentionally made this decision because they wanted Superman to be an "international" hero. Well I say phoooey!!! You capitalists are soooo shallow!
I belive there are intellects in Hollywood. They made this decision because they were hoping someone would see the symbolism.
"We were always hesitant to include the term 'American way' because the meaning of that today is somewhat uncertain," Ohio native Dougherty explains...
I find it ironic that at a time when prominent conservative spinsters have decided to wage a war with the "liberal" news media; the great American hero they are whining about, this great American hero that fights for Truth, Justice, and the American way... is a reporter, Clark Kent, at a newspaper, The Daily Planet. Smitten by an investagative reporter, Lois Lane, at the newspaper.
See you unhappy never-satisfied whiners. It is the American news media that is the most American thing about the United States. Freedom of the press so far has been the only gaurantee to truth the American people have had for years. I find great satisfaction in knowing there is a partner in this democracy that cannot be sworn, threatened, or bribed into secrecy at any time.
The great American hero fighting for truth, justice, and the American way is the American news media.
Great move Hollywood!!
