Well, I for one welcome our new Martian Overlords!

If I were to destroy that one building, how would I know I had succeeded? I would also have to destroy all the golf courses and Hollywood fundraising venues. No, silly humans, only a complete annihilation of your planet would be sufficient.

I think DamnCat may be right. While it lacks the connection to Mars, it’s unambiguous about what’s being destroyed, and Obama does seem to be the bad guy through most of the piece, and thus a better symbolic target.

Kimar, the King of Mars (as established in Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) is responding to Earth's beaming of TV images and speeches of Obama to Mars (and children succumbing to him) by sending a fleet to destroy the Earth (those devices were established as Martian war machines in War of the Worlds). In his place, what would you do?

That final frame is from “War of the Worlds” – aliens come to earth try to kill all humans.

Yeah, final frame-are they destroying Earth?

Those months Basil was away watching MST3K are finally paying off!

Thanks, Basil!

Jeez, when a Martian kid wants to stay in the basement until he’s 26, that means his folks will be stuck with him for about 49 Earth years. Then again, those slugs in Mom’s basement now probably don’t have any plans to actually get out at 26 either.

@1: First the link to the Communism article:

http://listverse.com/2013/01/17/10-reasons-why-communism-sucks/

Second, I read the Why Capitalism Sucks article it was written in response to.

Well, I tried.

I got to this line:

“the worker’s right to a reasonable wage by western standards”

and had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard.

Everyone might want to take a trek over to ListVerse. They've got a new article 10 Reasons Why Communism Sucks. It's apparently in response to one a month or so ago by another writer Why Capitalism Sucks. Of course, leftist idiots are overrunning the comments explaining why none of this really applies because we haven't really seen Communism implemented, and besides, any problems Commie governments have experienced are really the fault of the e-e-e-evil capitalist U.S. Jump on over, enjoy the article, (rhetorically) smack a few leftist hippies around. You can find me in the discussion, by the way, as Shawn Smith.
