Bill Maher on Stan Lee
Adulting, Stan Lee ... Old man yells at kids on lawn.
By Bill Maher The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning. Deep, deep morning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess. Someone on Reddit posted, “I'm so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee.” Personally, I’m grateful I lived in a world that included oxygen and trees, but to each his own. Now, I have nothing against comic books – I read them now and then when I was a kid and I was all out of Hardy Boys. But the assumption everyone had back then, both the adults and the kids, was that comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures. But then twenty years or so ago, something happened – adults decided they didn’t have to give up kid stuff. And so they pretended comic books were actually sophisticated literature. And because America has over 4,500 colleges – which means we need more professors than we have smart people – some dumb people got to be professors by writing theses with titles like Otherness and Heterodoxy in the Silver Surfer. And now when adults are forced to do grown-up things like buy auto insurance, they call it “adulting,” and act like it’s some giant struggle. I’m not saying we’ve necessarily gotten stupider. The average Joe is smarter in a lot of ways than he was in, say, the 1940s, when a big night out was a Three Stooges short and Carmen Miranda musical. The problem is, we’re using our smarts on stupid stuff. I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important. And a quote from the Man himself back in the day Quote:

Bill Maher being a smug prick is hardly news.
It's a running joke that I'm a commie, and even I think he's a smarmy know it all asshole. |

This is kind of a "...how did you think this was going to go?" moment. Kind of like when he referred to himself as a "house nigger".
The man just died, and he decided this would be a good time to tell the world that they are dumber for appreciating him as somesort of half-ass jab at Trump. This was exactly the kind of thing he'd call out Hannity or O'Riley on if they said the same shit. |

Breaking story - Maher still a smug prick, tries to make relevant story into fodder for his agenda.
In other news, the sky is blue, the grass is green and Madonna had a lot of sex in the 80's. |
