Two things:

thebitterguyA) No music video from the '90s should be on a channel called MuchMoreRetro
B) One of The National Post's discarded writers did a piece (a piece of what?) in yesterday's Sunday Star about coloured folk in comics. Now, as an almost white person (the kind airport security likes to gently caress), I have my own viewpoints on this, but two thoughts came to me after reading this piece (and Stuard Immonen's analysis).
First off, why would an ex-Postie suddenly care about racial and women's issues? I mean, is it guilt? A bet? Did he just really, really want to get an article in for black history month? Or does he really, sincerely, think the decline of the comics industry can be traced to it's lack of minority and female representation?
Secondly, why is this in Science and Technology?
But, in any case, I bring it to you, the reading public.
