YouTubeSuper-Capitalist-Pig: 1980s Superman Peanut Butter Commercial
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Apparently the Superman of the 1980s wasn’t above making a buck off of his fame and reputation, as he marketed “Superman Peanut Butter” to kids for several years. (No, really.)
Which inspired Lex Luthor to hatch his least-nefarious plan in the history of ever.
Via Retroist, who won’t eat anything that wasn’t packaged by super-powered space aliens.

Inglorious: Woman’s Superman Chest Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Monday, March 8th, 2010Whenever I see ill-conceived body art like this flowery Superman logo tattoo across this woman’s chestal/cleavage region, I immediately think of Westley’s sage words from The Princess Bride:

The Superman Wedding Video Is So Awkward, It’s Awesome

Where Spandex Goes to Die: Superhero Nursing Home Sculpture
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Thanks to these life-like sculptures by contemporary artist Gilles Barbier, we know that no hero–not Superman, Captain America, nor Hulk–will survive the ravages of age.
For a second there, I thought that the catatonic (dead?) Catwoman was faring worst of all. But then I saw Wonder Woman’s bosom. Holy southern migration, Batman.
YESSSS: Penn State Band Honors Batman, Star Wars, Superman at Half-Time
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009This is absolutely glorious, people. Behold the Penn State Blue Band during the Eastern Illinois Game halftime show last month(?*), playing the themes of geek favorite movies Batman (starting at 0:14), Rocky (1:48), Back to the Future (3:10), Star Wars (6:24), and Superman (8:40).
The familiar, beloved, marching-bandified tunes provide half the joy, but just wait [...]
