Just peeked in at the 2000ad Forum and was disgusted to read a forum moderator and 2000ad creator making 'fun' of a mentally ill forum member. Absolutely disgraceful that the powers that be at Rebellion let this go on. If you don't know who I'm talking about...this pic is a guide. Dim Dumbbell doesn't exactly clothe himself in glory either. The Twatfecta out in force...beating down the unfortunate ...one mentally ill person at a time! I expect to be banned for this...but I don't give a fuck! Something needs to be done about these arseholes! Are you reading/listening Rebellion!!!#hypocrites

Owen does do a great job...but you're missing the point. And if you can't see it...there's no point in explaining it.

I have a problem with the title 'THE FACEBOOK POPULARITY POSITION' which the art wasn't! Mine was.

It's not  'Yes it was technically Flint'...Technically bollocks! Nothing technical about it. It was me. If you want to have variety and spread out the plaudits a bit...that's fine...but be up front...or at least add this ''THE FACEBOOK 2nd POPULARITY POSITION'.

Or a simple...in the event of someone being placed on the forum in the top 3 the Facebook 'likes' don't count.

To be honest...and I know this sounds like a complete asshat on my part...but fuck it! I'd rather have the 'Facebook Popularity Position'

And Nero DX's 'Shakira' is a fun piece, I like it a lot...but it wasn't the most popular.

It feels like the Electoral College all over again. :-P

Good stuff...can't wait to see more.

That Mick sounds great and not arrogant at all! I do hope that one day we get to see the Flint voiced animatic, just for piss taking purposes of course!

"The croime! Being Shoite! The sentence... Dett!"

Hahaha! "Dett!" We'll release a special version for Irish audiences.

And yet...they're wrong. He's not white...he's Hispanic and I really don't think race played any part in it.

Probably not; Trayvon was wearing a hoodie. Race certainly had a bearing on the positions adopted by those discussing the case on the bottom half of the internet though - and it played a huge part in the way the US political and media tribes lined up on the case. "If I had a son, he would have looked like Trayvon" ...

QuoteAlso...linking to Fox News is an automatic fail!  ;)

Sir, yes Sir!

Which is totally irresponsible for the President to say and for those politicians too wear hoodies. I think it's too easy to say it was racially motivated. It was a gated community and the kid according to Zimmerman looked suspicious. Where I live, and it's not gated, if I saw someone in the neighborhood that I had never seen before and looked suspicious...regardless of race...I'd be a bit concerned. Zimmerman was a moron.

What US politics board are you reading? Haven't read anything like that at all.

It might be putting too fine a point on it to describe this as an example of political debate, rather than just outright monomaniacal insanity. The more reasonable discussion I've seen in the US mainstream media seems to acknowledge that it's a more complex and nuanced case - my own opinion was always that Zimmerman's actions were foolhardy and disproportionate, but that there was no way of establishing the malice in either his actions or his motives which would meet the criteria of reasonable doubt necessary for a conviction.

This slim and reasonable fellow leads an entirely unbiased debate of the trial on the single most influential news source on US telly.

IMDB is not a political board and either is Sean Hannity. So, your original statement of 'visit any US politics board you'll find plenty of folks who will earnestly explain to you that Trayvon Martin was a monstrously powerful, drug crazed, adult criminal who ruthlessly stalked his prey before repeatedly smashing Zimmerman's head on the ground in an attempt to break it open, as a gorilla would a coconut. George Zimmerman was a helpless innocent in fear for his life and acting in self defence.'

...is a huge exaggeration. But you are correct about your more reasonable discussion. The jurors couldn't find him guilty laid out by the guidelines given. Which was the right decision legally...but something should be done. There has to be a consequence for his actions. Maybe the feds will get involved.
