	This is also the issue where JJJ was referred to as Peter's "Stalinesque" ex-boss in the recap and Peter called him his worst enemy. Um. What. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Heh. My immediate thought was, "Someone WILL explain, in lengthy detail, how vitriolic libel is in no way similar to mass murder, torture, and the brutal oppression of entire countries." But most of those people dropped the book already, so.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I'm not quite THAT far gone, but it's just ... not hyperbole of the amusing sort?

I mean, you can go, "LOL, Jameson's mustache makes him look like Hitler!" That's not politically correct, but it is funny. On the other hand, what can you say about Jameson vs. Stalin? "LOL, Jameson and Stalin are both jerks, except that one writes mean editorials and chases a superhero with killer robots, and the other engineered the murder of millions of people"?

Also, it just kind of irritated me because I feel as though most writers this decade have just lost track of the fact that Jameson does, in fact, have good qualities. A fair number of them, even! They just don't get anywhere near the vicinity of the webhead.

	I think they're mainly jettisoning them because JJJ is only being used for comic effect right now, and serious Jonah is a serious journalist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trufax. Your icon is horrifically appropriate. Well chosen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
