I think that Superman, when you really think about it, is kind of an asshole. I realize this may seem rather harsh at first until you take a moment to really think about what a myopic, selfish person he really is. The reason I make this contentious statement is that Superman, the most powerful person in the world--neigh, the universe--pretty much only uses his powers to save the city of In fact, it always boggles my mind that when he saves people from getting mugged they don't just turn to him and say: "Um...wow Superman, thanks for breaking up that horrible mugging. If it weren't for you I might have lost up to 26 dollars there. You're probably right, fuck all of the people being slaughtered in
Seriously, is this the kind of superhero we want our kids to look up to? Hey Superman, I have this crazy idea, why don't you go ahead and leave Mr. Whiskers in the fucking tree, pull your head out of your own ass for one second, and do something about the energy crisis.

Superman is a gay icon intended to comfort suburban shaft-slurpers from the Toledo, Ohio.
I have no problem with Superman's antics involving the betterment of upper-middle class white men and women across these great United States.
Superman's powers are not meant for Darfur or Tsunami victims... Katrina, maybe... the recent tornado's in the south, why not? But why does Superman need to jump on the stick of ever third world crisis, just as this administration does?
Let the third world countries rot on their own... Keep up the good work, Superman.
PS - What's with the sudden rise in use of the word, "myopic?"
I think Andrew nailed it. Superman is a patriot... a true patriot.
True patriots care not of pathetic other nations, for we rule this planet.
True patriots care not about the FDIC, they have legacy heriditary accounts that will take care of their children and grandchildren for years.
Hmm, myopic is the new hotness aint it?
But back to Supes.... everyone also seems to forget his "snide" comments from when he first arrived on Earth: http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=28&Itemid=45
No, he is not "kind of" he is said dick.
On the outset, this looks like a simple case of egocentrism; Superman, a show off who is too narrow minded to look beyond his immediate world and alleviate real tragedy. But maybe Superman has confidence issues. Maybe he doesn't think he could save the world, and has resigned himself to crimes he knows he can battle.
Regardless, he needs therapy. Any man who wears underwear and tights as an outfit has issues.
