Adult Swim, makers of fine cartooning and popular Sunday night wastes of time, had the following bump play between Futurama, their first show and Family Guy, their most popular:
Attention Marvel Comics
Y’all some idiots
You don’t kill off Captain America to make deep political statements
IT’S A *scribbled out expletive* COMIC BOOK
Stan Lee would have never pulled a New Coke maneuver like this
P.S.
Neil Gaiman already have deep statements covered.

I think it was “Neil Gaiman already has deep statements covered. Thanks for posting it. Couldn’t find it anywhere else. Am adding it to my blog. —Lisa
hmmm. but I could be wrong. Anyway. Cool site you have here. Seriously.
Hooray! Go Adult Swim!!
Of course, considering that Marvel is ecstatic over how Stephen Colbert raked the post-Civil War universe over the coals, I’m not confident they got the message.

Fortress Keeper: Dude, they just gave Colbert “Cap’s Shield” tonight. Remember how the freshmen used to look up to the hip seniors in high school?
