[Batman]

The latest issue of Action Comics has generated some controversy since it was altered because people might think that Supe's was drinking a bottle of beer.

Let's take a closer look:



OMFG! Superman drinks Oot Beer! Crow-brand Oot Beer. My goodness that's the worst kind!

So it got changed to this:



Holy Jesus God what a bunch of fucking pantywaist idiots.

I agree that Superman shouldn't drink alcohol--not because of THE KIDS! but because it wouldn't suit his character. Losing control and accidentally hurting someone is his biggest fear.

But changing the cover because someone might mistakenly think the big blue boy scout is chugging a long, cold one with his Pa?

Christ!

What? Coke or Pepsi wouldn't shell out the money to put their logo on the "Soda Pop" bottle?

[Habs]

Superman should be drinking milk and milk only!

[salmonjunkie]

Soda is caffinated, has lots of sugar and is bad for you. SUPERMAN PROMOTES OBESITY!

But Superman has an accelerated metabolism (supposedly), and wouldn't get fat...or drunk, come to think of it.

Ratman, you're missing the point. Kids are stupid and parents are negligent, ergo CENSOR THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYTHING!

Hell, they could have slapped a "John's Famous" or "Metropolis Old Fashioned" on the label. That's pretty freakin' lazy.

[Stu]

Or one of DCU's many fictional brands, like Soder Cola.

sergei, how could you honestly thing superman shouldn't drink alcohol?

it's the dumbest thing on every front. from a moral standpoint, this idea that kids can't handle seeing adults drink alcohol is fucking stupid. ucch. i really don't even want to get started on that one.

but to say it wouldn't fit his character cuz of his fear of losing control..... the man can digest acid, do you really think there's any alcohol on earth that's ever gonna get him DRUNK?????

superman is an adult. there is nothing wrong with him having champagne with his wife or a couple of brews with the guys. he wont get drunk and it's not setting a bad example.

i hate america

Mark Waid made Superman a vegetarian with the Birthright mini-series too, has that still stuck, post-Infinite Crisis?
And this beer thing is nothing compared to Marvel's "no one in our universe can smoke, not even Wolverine, who's still allowed to ram his claws through people's faces" rule.

[bdoriginal]

Have you learned nothing of American values? Only limp-wrist liberals think that the depiction of smoking, drinking, sex and questioning religion are acceptable. Now excuse me so I can pray that God destroys all non-believers while this underage boy fondle my nuts as I sign my name on a bill banning homosexual marriage with the pen the tobacco lobbyist bought me.

[OpTard]

actually, for some reason the rule is "no one in our universe is allowed to smoke except in the moon knight series"

i don't know why, it's not MAX, but they get away with smoking all the time in that book.

Didn't Wolverine stop smoking because Aunt May gave him grief about it while she was staying in Stark Tower after Pete joined the New Avengers too? Post OMD, what's his excuse now?

Everyone knows Supes cocaine problem would counteract his drunkenness ;D

He quit smoking, he just doesn't remember why.

Guess that'll be the next 6-issue Wolverine Origins arc then.
