Halloween Horrors From Hollywood

Scary, isn't it?
Found over at The Duck Motif, who in turn found it over at the Gallery of the Absurd.

Here's another direct from the Gallery. Although this one isn't sad scary like the one above, it's asshole scary.
Embracing the inner geek, comics, film, music, TV, popular culture and whatnot.






We know this has nothing to do with our regular topics, but we know there have to be some wrestling fans out there. Above you see the BEFORE picture of Chyna - yes, we said before. She has obviously been letting the homeless woman who shops at thrift stores (not in an of itself a bad thing) and lives across the street from our local library dress her in clothes intended for a 12 year old girl back in 1991. But then it gets worse. Scroll down ....
Keep going.
We said keep going.
Still not there.
No, we are not there yet Smurfette.















The call by Kalinara and Ragnell asking for cheesecake/beefcake images got us thinking about the representation by women in comics in general. If we can over-generalize, a lot of women, those that call themselves feminists as well as those who do not, bemoan the over-objectification of women in comics in terms of their appearance. In the Mister Fanboy Editorial Offices, we like to think of that as the "Porn Star Super Hero Look." Some more argue that this is okay, others will argue as vehemently that it is not. What is hard to argue with is the fact that most female superheroes are depicted as sexpots.
So earlier today, we ran across the image below over on the Comics Continuum of a new Schoolgirl Witchblade Statue (Our PC halves want to call into the question the propriety of the schoolgirl visage, our non-PC sides rationalize it). She's pretty much oozing sex. We read a lot online about how comics are hugely guilty of turning women only into sex pots. But what about these statues, busts, action figures, etc.? We have to admit that we are not dialed into the statue community, so we're curious as to what women think of all this. Is it as bad as the comics? Worse? The same? We're truly curious as to your opinion. Please leave a comment.

And then, just for the sake of argument, what are your opinions about "high art" pieces that are not mass produced and are more personal in nature. Something like the Alan Houser image below (we were looking for something suggestive without venturing into XXX territory). It seems a little suggestive to us. Is that any different in theory? We are truly curious. Let us know. We'll give you our opinion after we start getting a few comments.

By the way, here's our contribution to the Cheesecake/Beefcake Images. Don't forget to click on the link within the post to see the females.
UPDATE: Over at the Blog At Newsarama, they noticed the impropriety of this statue as well.

And then there's this, which we found over at The Absorbascon, with Alan Scott getting jiggy with a mollusc.

Happy Belated Birthday Tits. Thanks for making us laugh. Awww (Has Bambi entered the building?).

Lots of specifics on this very odd, but possibly genius, crossover between a soap opera on TV and a soap opera with pictures and violence in the funny books. We'll admit, we'll have a friend TiVo it and check it out. But that doesn't mean we'll be convinced to buy the newest diaper.
