Hahahah......C'mon....tell me if that ain't the best damn Product description for a comic-book related product that You've ever seen!!!Damn I'm good..........hahaha

Alrighty..........Next on the list......I'm gonna list down some of THE most unintentionally funny and politically incorrect Comic panels to have ever appeared in the history of comics......especially in the context of today's world.....some of this panels made me laugh my ass off man when I first saw them on one of those Comic sites I frequent.....haha.....

Back when the world was a much less politically correct place....Many of the comics written and drawn back in the 30's all the way to the 70's contained really horrible ethnic stereotypes,rascism and other totally bizarre shit that would make any sane man blush in today's world........Japanese were drawn as Squinty eyed,buck-toothed,yellow skinned creatures who spoke in broken english, African Americans were colored completely in black with a big red circle for their mouths that would have made the Takoyaki shop's Octopus mascot green with envy,women were treated as damsels in distress and sexual objects and young children were frequently dressed in revealing tights and thrown in harm's way......

So look at the following panel's with the scrutiny of modern standards and enjoy the politically incorrectness of it all......I know I did!!!hahaha......

WARNING:MATURE CONTENT........haha

1) JOKER'S ON VIAGRA AGAIN

>Ahem< .......ermm....I'm not sure what the term "Boner" meant back in the 50's......but the exact meaning of a "Boner" today means to have a......Hard-on...err....a Big physical reaction due to physical arousal byErotic stimuli............hahaha...Apparently the Joker is an easily excitable,hormonally charged Clown Prince of crime!!!hahhah

Damn!!!Dat fool just won't shut up about the boners....hahha.....Pumping his fist up and down suggestively and ranting about how Gotham City is laughing at his unimpressive appendage and about showing them how many BONERS he can make........Jumping Jeezus H Christ Joker!!Give it a rest already.......you'll go blind with the amount of self-servicing you're doing!!....shit dude.......Viagra truly lost a champion Spokesperson for its pills the day you decided to work as a clown....hahhaha

2) Archie's Really Good with his hands......

"I sure did Betty!I had to Beat Off 3 other guys!!".........As if Joker doing all those self-servicing ain't bad enough.....Archie andrews decided to turn it into one BIG Global franchise.....trumping the Joker's record and Beating off 3 guys at once!!!!!Leaving all three guys in a daze and seeing stars!!! HOLY CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Batman!!!..........hahhaha

3) Aunt May finally finds out what Peter parker has been doing in his room all day...

BWAHHAHAHA!!!! In the third and final example of what people meant by "Too much of a Good thing"...........Poor old Aunt May finally discovers what PeterParker is always doing when he locks himself in the room with all those pictures of Mary Jane watson.........hahaha....in fact Ol' Pete has been going at it so many times that sticky fluid is literally SEEPING outta his room........Christ......Why can't I get bitten by a Radioactive Spider!!DAMMIT!

4.) Dr Doom don't like No Chocolate face......

"My Men reported a Crazy Black Man in the Fantastic Four's craft.."?!?!......looks like in addition to being a tyrant,despot and all around bad egg.....Dr Doom is also one helluva Rascist ass.....YO!Just because A Brutha be wearing some bling-tastic Tiara on his head dun mean he's one crazy Muthaf**king nigga ya whiteboy......DAMN!where's the love Cracka?....Dun hate the playa man...hate the game!!!

5.) Reed Richards: Feminist's Enemy number one.....

Reed Richards,leader of the Fantastic four,Brilliant Inventor,Brave explorer,Prominent scientist,loving Husband and Father and......All-Around Sexist male Chauvinist pig?!?!.............errrr.......Reed.... "FINE!Wives should be kissed--and not heard!!"?!?!....WTH........this is as bad as the time you told Sue Richards to "Shut up and Get me a sandwich woman!!"......hahahaha.........You can create time portals,flying hover crafts and dimensional gateways but You can't create something to help you develop some basic respect for women??haha

6) Lois's robotic adultery...

Poor Lois Lane......looks like Superman is always too busy saving the world and Neglecting her most basic needs....so much so that she has to seek Comfort in the arms of a Robotic Lover with a helluva serious Butt-fetish.........hahha....things are getting so rough for Lois Lane that she can't even sit down properly and have a decent meal after pulling an all-nighter with her Robotic boy toy......hahhha.....Kick ass!!LOL!

7.)Robin's Indecent exposure.....

Now that's JUST PLAIN WRONG!!! .....C'mon Robin......geez...you're only a 13 year old kid.....you should be playing G.I.Joes and your computer games....Not waiting for Batman to land his plane ,turning on some sweet sensual stripping music on the radio....so that you can.....EXPOSE yourself!!

Back in the 50's,A Famed psychologists,Dr Fredric Wertham wrote a book called "Seduction of The Innocent"....where he decided to analyze Comicbooks and characters(A child's medium at that time) from a adult perspective......and he attempted to blame Juvenile delinquency on the reading of comics...he even went so far as to cite Batman and Robin as a "Gay couple"......because of them spending all that time together in the batcave ,and because of,and I quote him, "Batman's Broad,barrel chest and portruding manhood" and "Robin's unaturally tight and inappropriate shorts that leaves little to Imagination.".....hahha....SICKO........

But I gotta admit......Robin's little stunt in this panel is gonna send the child abuse groups straight to the door steps of stately Wayne Manor......ahahha....Listen Robin...I know your true identity is Dick Grayson...but You don't have to try so hard to live up to your name!!!Take it slow kid.......hahha

8.) HOLY PAEDOPHILIA BATMAN!

My all-time Favorite comicbook character is Batman......but sometimes I just don't agree with his methods...haha....he's really let his fans(and pants) down this time.......damn......This Panel says it all......In a moment of weakness.....The Caped crusader has shamefully succumbed and taken Robin up on his offer from the previous panel......I'm speechless.....

When a mega powerful Justice League Villain places a curse on the Justice League members and everyone else they have EVER TOUCHED.......all the heroes are taken a back and worry for their respective spouses and lovers...like The Flash worrying about his Wife,Iris Allen, The atom worrying for his fiancee...Jean Loring, and Green Lantern worrying for his long time mate Carol Ferris.....but the first name that comes to Batman's mind when the Villian said that everyone they ever TOUCHED is doomed?....Robin's name........H-o-l-y- s-h-i-t.....Hahahhaa

Ain't it weird that while the other grown men worry about the women and lovers in their lives after the curse is places......Batman instead decides at that PARTICULAR moment to think about a 13 year old boy.....instead of let's say......his Fiancee Julie Madison,His ex-girlfriend Vicki Vale or even his long time crush...Catwoman?......Damn......The Dark Knight sure can give Micheal Jackson a good run for his money!!!...haahha

And there you have it.......the 8 most politically incorrect panels in the 21st century!!hahaha..See who says comics are for kids?Comics are scary little nuggests of pictures and words specifically designed to drive Young Children into therapy......hahaha

Anyways.....now it's time for the PG-version of 300 that I promised..........after the success of 300, The studios decided to release a PG trailer of 300 to appeal to young children and kids.......turning 300 from a violent R-rated film to a sweet and cheery film that will delight Kids of any age!!

Awwwww...These Spartans are Sugar and Spice and Everything nice!!!hahaha

Oh and in case anyone hasn't seen this yet,here's a link to the Matrix farts........a hilarious montage of ad-libbed scenes added to the original Matrix Movie that gives whole new meanings to the scene when Morpheus asks Neo 'Do you think this air you're breathing?" and when the Oracle's proudly proclaims:"Smell good don't they?".....hahha

Another New Blog post?Oooooo...A miracle or way too much time at home nowadays?I'll forget about the former and put my bets on the latter...haha...anyway this post is gonna be a special one....a photo-heavy post, that's gonna have very little actual text..........minimal text in one of my blog posts?OK.....It really is a MIRACLE after all!!....hahha

Anyway a couple of weeks back,my parents and I were packing up some of our stuff cos my father wanted to get rid of the clutter at home,,,so anyway we brought this absolutely massive collection of stuff to my dad's storage warehouse and among the stuff was this really big collection of family photos that spanned 3 decades...stuff from the time my parents were dating back in the 70's to photos from the late 90's....

Looking through old photos is an absolutely one of a kind experience...it leaves a weird,bitter-sweet feeling with you that lingers for days....one one hand,it makes you feel,warm,fuzzy and nostalgic about the good old days when you were young,excitable, and wore cheap hand-me-downs but was happy as all hell.....it gives you a look at yourself when you were naive,pure and so incredibly innocent.......not a care in the world........and on the other hand,looking through all these old photos can be a sad experience too.......seeing your parents and grand parents young and in their prime back then,full of life and zest in the photos and you just REALIZE how much they've aged since then......looking much older,frailer and just plain tired nowadays.....seeing old family and friends....long gone.....taken by age or disease...........it can be an extremely hard pill to swallow to be honest....even so taking a walk down memory lane once a while can be a very meaningful,poignant experience......

Also somewhere amidst all the old photos I went through......that included stuff like my parent's wedding photos,all my uncle and auntie's weddings,a chronological collection of photos of my brother and I from birth till the end of our primary school.....I also found this bag of cards somehwere in there that contained EVERY single birthday card every received by all 4 members of my family ....from 1975 to 1998......

It was quite a sight to behold........seeing a Birthday card I made for my dad back when I was 5 years old.......a black(DUH!) A4 sized construction paper folded in half with a heart shaped hole cut out on its cover and coated with glimmery,glossy dust.....with the words "TO THE BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD!!" written by me in silver ink.......man I was really sweet back then...what happened?!.....hahah..........another memorable card I managed to dig out was this yellow,duck-shaped card given to me on my 2nd birthday........that read"To Our Dearest Boy Boy from your proud Daddy and Mummy"........awwww.....choked me up it did........err...sand went into my eyes went I read that.....hahaha....makes me wonder what hopes and dreams my parents had for me when I was born and have I even met 1/10 of those expectations?...............I dunno.....it raises existensial questions I have no answers for......sure I've never been a problem child and given my parents any major troubles both academically and personally......but could I have done better,put in more effort in certain things and excelled in other areas?........sure......so I dunno....this is getting too deep for me....then again I AM someone with great depth....ahhahahah....but I digress.....

Which brings me to the meat of my post.....I was tidying up and organizing all my photos from my poly days(circa year 2 till the present) and just thought that it'll be fun to do a blog post featuring certain,selected but kinda random photos of the poly gang during that time arranged in a semi-chronological order.....from pics of old outings and gatherings to the most recent Birthday pictures......to help give me a better overall picture of things....how certain things have changed and evolved over time.....and how some things have always remained constant over the years........

I would have loved to still have a copy of the very first TB31 photo ever taken where Huiling looks like a Ma Jie in training and Wenjun looked like she just escaped from Sheng Zzheng in Singapore on a chinese Junk Boat......It's a classic man.....ahhaha

You know,sometimes people ask me,with regards to both my secondary and poly friends, about why I bother keeping in contact or maintaining some sort of link with past friends whose lives have gone off a completely different tangent then mine or who are now stuck in a rut by their own doing........there's one reason and one reason only........For Old Times sake's......the good ALWAYS outweigh the bad in my mind when friends are concerned......

So the following will be pictures alone.....just pictures...no words needed..........you can form your own thoughts by looking at them....why do a photo-blog post? For the sheer heck of it.........This is dedicated to the poly gang....To the Good Ol' Days...... SALUT!

11:16 AM

Well that's About it.....Good Memories all........those photos encapsulate like 3-4 years of outings....how time flies......well...here's to more good times ahead gang....Cheers!!
