RE: Rampant Idiocy - ricardo shillyshally - 10-31-2014
Why are super heroes so popular. Reminds us of ancient gods, making physically weak feel strong, and powerless more powerful, (it's something I think about). The first comic featuring a superhero, was(as far as I can tell), a victorian penny dreadful. He started as a villian.

'The folkloric Spring Heeled Jack came to be featured in a series of Penny Dreadfuls, first as a villain, then as a crime-fighter with a disguise, secret lair, and gadgets, hallmarks of superheroes.' But they become particularly popular when society as a whole feels anxious; social, economic, power status changes. ![[Image: spring-heeled-jack-main-107663.jpg]](http://media.comicbook.com/uploads1/2014/09/spring-heeled-jack-main-107663.jpg)

Well sure, the festive display possibilities equal hours of fun.

Not just for bouncy castles (or turkeys) anymore.

Bizarre inflatables. Here's a bear shaped sleeping bag.

That is AWESOME! Of course I live in an area where bears hang out in the neighborhood so perhaps my humour is a tad morbid but still, the possibilities!

I think a lion one, real big, is good to stop those face thieving hyenas, when in Africa, and for city centres, a large mean looking homeless man sleeping bag.

Not sure if I should post this here, but it's entertaining (well, for me at least)...
Kind of like "Gangnam Style" but not as random and outrageous. Song's called "Open The Door" by Lim Chang Jeong.RE: Rampant Idiocy - ricardo shillyshally - 11-10-2014
