True. There was a time when you may have suspected the writers were doing these things to make you scream, and they very well may have been, but what difference did it used to make? A hate letter here, some anthrax there, but nothing a writer couldn't dodge. But now? They can hear you scream. They can print it out, and look at it for hours. To them, it's like chocolate cake.
But then, comics writers are lizards. Well, DC ones. Marvel ones are actually baboons.
