Moi? Amused :p

Gallery told to drop 'Gay' Batman (BBC News Online; Friday 19th August 2005)

Also a couple of on-line gaming stories. The second is from a few years ago but I'd never come across it before and thought it was quite amusing and worth linking in to. Apparently it's the first occurence of online mass murder.....

The gay batman pics are still available on artnet, if you're interested:

Bit daft really -- no-one would have heard of the pics, or the artist, had DC not made such a fuss about it. The whole thing would have quietly gone away....

Well, no, they're not exactly works of technical brilliance are they? As I say, no-one would have heard of the guy if DC hadn't tried to ban him....
