I couldn’t resist. I scanned the cover of one of my favorites (that I bought new in 1971…) after hearing about the recent “banning” of our friends the Suicide Girls by the organizers of Comic-con.
My photoshopping depicts what I playfully guess is the fear being experienced by the SDCC organizers as they ponder the notion of seeing dozens of young, attractive women descend upon the show floor.
This terror apparently is not being experienced by show attendees on Twitter who are largely (ten to one) tweeting in favor of seeing SG at Comic-Con (and will I hope come join them at our party!)
Some of the more prominent (and typical) tweets are listed below:
@halfbrown: @SuicideGirls Banned From Comic-Con? http://ki.am/dsNBcM | They were very professional around my kids @ #EmeraldCityComicon.
@RavenKilna: @SuicideGirls So the booth babe bimbos who are scantily clad are OK but Girls with ink and personalities are not allowed at at SDCC?! ….OK
@DonCarlitos: SuicideGirls Banned From Comic-Con? #ComicCon #comix #censorship #WTF #SuicideGirls #dumbmoves #WonderCon #Glanzer http://bit.ly/bdOI7T
@emixmanav: There is one angry pink-headed bisexual Asian writing very angry letter to Comic Con for taking her fun=@SuicideGirls away. VERY BITTER.
@kmellon: SG are among the least offensive things you can see at SDCC RT @HackinTimSeeley: SuicideGirls banned from Comicon(…): http://bit.ly/cIjbWK
@j9drost: @mattzog You get declined, @Suicide_Girls get declined… the show’s going downhill. Bummer. #sdcc
@blambot: did SDCC wait a whole YEAR to bring it to Suicide Girls attention? Isn’t that something you’d mention AT THE TIME? Fishy.
@GailSimone: SDCC, please reconsider not allowing the Suicide Girls to have a booth. They add to the convention! http://bit.ly/bWYZoA
@Aronhead : I have decided to stand firm in my support of the Suicide Girls. I will not be attending SDCC until they lift the SG ban! Who’s with me?
