I could not help but laugh at how messed up this is.

I thought the link beside it was about 1,000,000 times more messed up, especially since this "Pedophile Pervert Variant" was an officially-sanctioned cover from the company.

Is it that much worse than a Barbie doll?

I agreed with that.

Well, fortun...um, Unfortunately this is how the hipsters and cool chicks of today dress. Sort of like Josie & the Pussycats.....

Difference is Powerpuff Girls are supposed to be like six years old. We shouldn't be looking up their skirts.

Seriously? I can't see any editor, publisher, etc, etc greenlighting breasts on a 6 year old. This whole conversation is now officially wrong. In many ways.

Seems clear the DC marketers were short sighted since some people will always find racism no matter how innocent the comment.

This is what they normally look like:

For reals!! Have our NPR Overloards PCed us so hard that a little innocent WHITE POWER is now a no-no???

Wait, why's it called a SUB CVR? ... Is he the sub?

I'm not saying DC wasn't really stupid in this case. The article just reminded me of too many articles where a writer's agenda seems to just grab onto whatever subject is found. It ridicules anyone who might be interested in buying the thing as well as the dumb name.

O, the article...it was too long for me, so I made up my mind without reading it.

Is it much different than Marvels Black Panther character? Who just "happens" to be African. Or Black Goliath. Would it be considered improper for a character to be called "White Goliath"?

[ChrisInBaltimore]

I'm not sure I see the issue here…

 

Oh but those Powerpuff girls look good! I figure they must be future Powerpuff girls who are of age.
