[Batty]

That's great!

It's funny how so many of those offended by MJ are so-called comic book fans.

 

[p!tu]

WOW!!! OMG!!! THIS IS SO OFENSIVE!!! TAKE IT OFF NOW!!!!!


OR I WILL CREATE A BLOG OF HOW MUCH I HATE THIS CAUSE I DONT HAVE A LIFE!!!!

HANG AH! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our troops are dying in Iraq and some fukk bag thinks this is news?!!?!?!?!?

Its a ******* statue!!!! A STATUE!!!!!

It amazes me that in 2007 a comic statue of a sexy girl doing laundry can create controversy

Couldn't have said it better Chase!

...a bunch of bored people who thrive on a crusade get sand in their vaginas...

...I can't believe all the free pub they've just given SS and Adam...

Sideshow & AH! =

Reading that live journal was like a refresher course on why I hate other women and rabidly hate feminists. They always manage to embarrass and offend me in one fell swoop. I guess I didn't get the memo because I never realized that being in the proximity of someone's laundry would be such a pivotal moment in my life and would turn me into a complete sap! This is art. It is one artist's interpretation of a comic strip. It's not a global narrative on the entire female population.

In the words of Mugatu - "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!"

Vespagirl you are awesome!! Why can't all women think this way!?

...The main complaint seems to be that MJ is doing Spidey's laundry. I'm just at a loss for words at how insane this is.

That is not only insane it is flat out retarded!!

One rabid troller posted she cannot believe these stereotypes are still being perpetuated. Ironically, I have my own stereotype for these angry women - dumpy, raggedy women who have given up completely on their appearance and have nothing better to do than get annoyed because the fictional character statue looks better than they do.

Not to mention they have hairy legs and armpits and don't wear deodorant!!

This kerfluffle is pure BS -- tempest in a teacup. As a mature woman with mostly very liberal views of things (yes, I consider myself a feminist), I find nothing degrading or obscene regarding any aspect of the statue. The comments on the live blog seem to be made by those who are neither true collectors nor aficienados of the comic medium. I'm not gonna resort to using the quick, pigeonholing descriptors and "in" terms being bandied about (although it's very tempting). Let it suffice to say that my understanding and belief of feminism is obviously very different from the bloggers'. I suspect these pseudo-feminists have decided to target this sculpture to vent on a much wider set of issues of a much more personal level. Too much self-righteousness going on over a sculpt of a fictional character to not suspect personal agendas. Sad.

Most of the comments are laughable and silly, but I cannot let the "...worst thing...ever seen" comment go by without a comment of my own. Wonder if this sculpt is on par with pictures of the dead and the walking dead at Auschwitz? Obviously the blogger has led a very sheltered and narrowly focused life and has no real perspective of what should be considered truly important in life. Silly twits. (done pontificating now...thank you for your time )

 

[carbo-fation]

This whole thing is ridiculous. I can't believe people are actually giving so much attention to a fictional character. Why don't they just start complaining about American comics in general since most of the female characters are drawn 'perfectly' and in a very sexually appealing manner. Oh wait.....most of these complainers are so-called comic fans.

 

[p!tu]

THIS NEWS TICKLE ME! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!!!

 

[El Roranous]

Nice one Bob.

I seriously hope these people don't cause Sideshow to stop producing these wonderful sculptures.

 

[Agent0028]

This is madness. Surely there is a real issue out there somewhere that needs more attention. And that it is garnering actual media attention. Jeez...

My latest comment on Sideshow's site.

SS and Adam Hughes have made an exceptional product together. I hope the relationship continues and fully matures into even more great releases. The people that are offended by this are only furthering the success of this line by overreacting and overemphasizing it's existence. Don't you all realize that you have just promoted this statue and now even more people will want to own it even if it's just because it's controversial? Sideshow and Adam are loving the free publicity. Isn't it funny when things backfire? LOL

Yes! The true voice of reason.

Yes, it makes me feel good that we have such awesome Ladies on our side! I love you all!!

Preach on brotha Rory!!

I think it is all too funny that all that they want to prevent is what they are furthering. It's like they are digging the hole deeper and deeper with every outrageous comment. They make people that had no interest in this product before want to own one.

 

[swabie2424]

Just writing in to say this statue rocks! The people from that blog can kiss Mary Jane's ***! Of all the things in the world to piss and moan about... if this is at the top of their list... they need help!

AH has been and will continue to be a fan favorite, and there ain't nothing anyone can do 'bout that. Write all the nasty blog posts you want... but fanboys want their cheesecake.... and I'm 100% confident that AH will continue to deliver as long as his heart beats!

Woot! Woot!

This is nothing but great advertising.
