Kscriv Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'd guess something about a bunch of bots being on here at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I noticed earlier that about 50 people were on and 36 or so of them were looking at the Image Guardians teaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah, it wasn't a genuine number. As Kellen said, it was bots. This new number, however, is real. I linked to the forums on Twitter, so that's why it spiked like that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 So, it's finals week and I've now been up till at least 2 in the morning for two nights in a row now, and this morning I had to be up and functioning by eight-thirty for my first exam. I should probably pass out at some point this afternoon... Also, I hate Punnett squares. Also, unsurprisingly, the RLA/RHD finally noticed that they probably shouldn't be leaving our house alone, what with the broken glass and the throwing up all over the place, and we're going to see more staff in the house, to the point that they'll probably be adding the house to regular rounds. About damn time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 John Byrne's Twitter account (which he just started) is going to be the funniest (and train wreck-iest) thing ever! I get no sense from Morrison’s work that he has any “love for the genre.” When you say comic book pro what you mean is unprofessional yahoo who is more concerned with masturbating all his emotionally retarded fans Granted, there's some speculation that it's not really him. We'll see, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it's fake, someone did their homework. His Twitter handle is JohnByrneRobot, which is a play on his web address: http://www.byrnerobotics.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 More: Get this into your tiny brain: trade paperbacks are not the “future” of this industry. I should say, there are two things making me think it's bogus: 01. One of the tweets references what he said about Jessica Alba's blonde hair. Why bring that back up all these years later? 02. He's following some Marvel editors. But he hates that company, so why would he follow them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 And the Onion being credible. And the thing referring to himself in the third person. And this one: "Personal prejudice: Hispanic and Latino women with blond hair look like hookers to me, no matter how clean or “cute” they are" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 That can't possibly be for real. Yeah. Saying that Morrison has no love for the genre when he obviously has done his homework on the Silver Age? No. That doesn't sound right.

And this one: "Personal prejudice: Hispanic and Latino women with blond hair look like hookers to me, no matter how clean or “cute” they are" The Onion one I took as a joke, and I know a lot of people who tweet in the third person. I mean, a lot of people do it on Facebook, so why not Twitter? And he actually said that about Jessica Alba; that's what I was talking about.

KnightWing Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Upon further reading, that totally doesn't sound right. At all. I mean, really? "I’ve gotten tired of people calling Christopher Reeve a hero." Doesn't ring true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I’ve gotten tired of people calling Christopher Reeve a hero." Doesn't ring true. Sadly: I have noticed that people have begun referring to Christopher Reeve as a hero. I do not wish to take away one iota of the courage he must have needed not to wake up screaming every single day, but the hard truth is there was nothing heroic in what happened to him or how he dealt with it...In fact, as far as how he dealt with it he didn’t even have a choice. We could imagine he spent every hour of every day when not in front of the cameras begging family members to simply kill him and get it over with — but none of them did so he had no choice but to deal with each day as it came. Heroism I believe involves choice. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I want to stress that I'm not sure it is him. I'm just pointing out that he has, at one point, said these things that are now being tweeted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Okay, I'm going with fake now. I just noticed that his tweet about blonde Latinas is pulled from his Wikiquote article, including the "personal prejudice" before the actual quote. So unless he was quoting that site (which makes no sense), yeah, fake. Awww... I was looking forward to the wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
