Gee, that costume looks familiar... should I alert DC Comics?

And those Villian names... the FIBBLER??

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll disconnect your VCR...

I just read another bit about this guy. He used to be on "Eight is Enough," child star Willie Ames.

He's doing this and Dick Van Patton is doing Weird Al video's. How the mighty have fallen.

Ya I saw him on the Daily Show. Yes the mighty have fallen, they have fallen much.

Chris: Is it a dream where you are standing on top of a pyramid in sort of sun-god wardrobe, and thousands of naked women are screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Mitch: No!
Chris: Why is it that I'm the only one who has that dream?

Well, "The Fiendish Works of Dr. Fear" is not a bad title. Too bad Vincent Price is dead.

LOL. I saw one of the Price Edgar Allen Poe recently.

"Bibleman"??? What does he do? Lecture his enemies to death?

I was flipping through the channels this morning and saw that Bibleman was a guest on the 700 club.

Actually, he's kind of campy. At one point, they had a guy dressed up like Death show up (some villain I suppose). Bibleman's response? "As long as there are guys like you there will always be someone like me dressed in purple spandex!"

They also showed some clips from his videos. Tora Ziyal: yes, he does talk his enemies to death, but he does it while fighting them with a light-saber-like device. The whole Bibleman thing seems to be done with tongue firmly ensconced in cheek. Bibleman appears to be having fun with this "ministry" and the kids seem to enjoy the show.

C'mon, folks, this is not a threat to civilization as we know it, unless you consider "Captain Planet" (far more preachy if you ask me) a threat as well. Actually, it's rather funny.

Actually, I can't stomach "Captain Planet," either. Especially with their portrayals of all scientists as egomaniacal polluters or misguided idiots... you'd think they were taking direction from Omega.

But I DO think that "Bibleman"'s costume comes very close to copyright infringement.

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

I dunno. As far as costumes go I don't think DC and Marvel can safely point fingers. The light-saber, on the other hand...
