New favorite show.

I was a comic book kid.
I spent most of the money that I made cutting grass as a youth (bid'ness man even then) on what I considered to be the most solid investment known to an 11 year old, comic books.
Plus I like too read.
I was convinced that by the time I was 16 I'd be able to sell my stacks of Punisher and Wolverine and buy a car. Sadly everyone else thought this as well.
So the publishers printed more copies...more copies = less scarcity... less scarcity = less value...
Hence I was unable to buy a car with my 'investment'. I did still get to read them though, match that T-Bonds.
This is all preamble though.

Whilst flipping channels on my tele the other day I stumbled on a show called
Who wants to be a super hero
I was intrigued (see above paragraph) so I settled in to watch.
It's your typical reality slop, save Stan Lee and people dressed in tights.
1st challenge...Change from your everyday persona (i.e.Clark Kent) to your super hero identity without anyone seeing you and run to a designated spot. The fastest there wins. Sounds easy.
Well, Stan Lee planted a little girl crying along the route to the finish to see which 'super hero' would stop and help. That's what they're supposed to do you know, being super heroes and all.
Not many did and from there they went on to fire/vote off/eliminate one super hero to be.
Yada yada yada....
I thought that this twist was quite clever and have now designated the aforementioned show my new favorite waste of time. I have also picked my horse for this competition....


MAJOR VICTORY
This guy deserves to win...He prances...He poses...He even told the little crying girl "jump up in my arm's little one" before he carried her to safety.

So I've picked my new show...You think that TNT will stop asking me to watch The Closer?
