I wish I had a scanner to show this. For those of you who have this month's previews turn to page 399. There is an add for a new superman t-shirt. the thing that makes this one oh so different then previous versions is the white symbol on a black t-shirt. some marketing genius needed a headline to sell this shirt. what did he choose to promote it? two words "WHITE POWER".

I don't know what they were thinking but it generated some discussion at work last week. I wonder if anyone lost their job over the poor choice of words.

My friend Mike has a comics blog where he goes over the best awful stuff in previews. This made the cut last week.

It's a damned good blog.

I wonder if Jay Leno will do that in headlines.

I've seen alot of diffrent races wear all black sneakers with white laces in skateboarding and celebs do that too.

The white on black thing meaning white power is for old timers.
