A SuperHero that doesnt kill.
Ever wondered why superheroes in comics and cartoons are always fighting? It is because people want to watch as well as see violence and displays of incredible strength. If someone invented a Superhero that could shoot lovey-dovey rays so that everyone would reconcile, he would probably not be very popular. In fact, i think there are super villians exhibiting that kind of power. Its more to the effect of making the heroes turn soft and hints that not being able to wham and bam is an inherently bad thing. E.g Poison Ivy against Batman. Also that Captain Planet boy who had the power of heart was always the most unpopular in make-believe games. No one wanted to be him, i admit, me included. He was wimpy.
You know how those advertisements on TV (they're everywhere actually, now that i think about it) where they find the ideal match for someone? I think its dumb. They always claim to use advanced methods of pairing and then they ask you for superficial details like your zodiac sign and height. Here's one of the many excellent examples: I saw this link on friendster about finding a perfect partner through sms. http://perfectlover.com.au
Thus i decided to try it in order to slag it to bits. Because deep down everyone knows that it cannot be logically proven that asking such peurile questions will amount to anything other than people who have the same age as you. Do not get me wrong, i have no comments about those sites where people meet for 'shallow' and 'personal' reasons. But i take offence on preying on peoples' search for ultimate love and belonging.
However, after filling in all the 'relevant' details, i got back an sms then kind of shocked me. It was true!! I could not argue with it watsoever. I was at a loss for words when i got this sms on my mobile phone: 'This feature is unavailable from your service due to rate plan restrictions or insufficient funds (I had money in my card confirm). Dial 555 for balance information." Thanks a lot; so much for true love. Like nailing jelly to a goat.
