I put of a fight. After all, what is a man who can't take a moral stand once every now and again?
But I caved.
I was at the abyss of modern culture we call Best Buy to buy the new Bloc Party album, (stay tuned for review), and as I made my 180 degree turn in the line, something caught my eye.
What was it you ask? Perhaps a long-forgotten classic movie, available for less than $10? Perhaps a greatest hits album from a rock group I hadn't heard in years? No.
It was Superman: Doomsday the animated movie of the comic book story arc where Superman dies.
I'm not a Superman geek, I have never owned a Superman comic. Hell, I didn't even see the latest abortion to wear the blue and red. So why did I buy it?
I couldn't tell you. It wasn't even that cheap, it was $15. But it sits in my DVD player right now, waiting for the pesky Rays to lose to the Phillies, when we'll see what $15 of my blood, sweat, and tears went towards.
So you got me Best Buy. Your carefully researched impulse line got me. Throughout years and years of walking by temptation in stereo, you never did. And it was a goddam Superman DVD.
Do I have a point? Not really. But I guess that's what blogs are for.
And hey, if you like rhetorical questions, the last 100 words are like porno for you.
