After being mentioned by John Kerry at the presidential debate last week, anti-stem cell activists aligned with the Bush campaign killed Christophe Reeve to prevent further damage to their cause of stopping science from curing diseases.
Spokesperson for the Bush Campaign, Lex Luthor, read the following statement:
Ba ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha! I win! I always win. Is there no one on this planet to even challenge me?!

I've known Tal for a while.. he has a very sick and twisted sense of humor (hell, it's one of the reasons I like him so much)--and frankly, who didn't have thoughts of Lex Luthor when they heard the news?

Date: 2004-10-11 11:56 am (UTC)Upon reading this post, I had no idea that Christopher Reeve had actually died. I just figured you were posting something in bad taste again.
It's disturbing because that's a way of campaigning which has a ... oh, heck, a rather Republican stench to it. Something I'd not be surprised if a spokesman or rampant supporter of Bush would say, but is surprising from even a fanatical Democrat.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're a fanatical Democrat, the world can probably use more of them.
But I do think that you've gone over the lines a couple of times in your campaign for this election, and that's disappointing, especially when it is at the cost of personal pain and anguish to others. (Or taking advantage of the personal pain and anguish of others. I certainly don't think that you killed Christopher Reeve to further your political goals!)

Date: 2004-10-11 11:33 am (UTC)I know the feeling though. My father died when I was 5, my 11 year old sister was killed by a drunk driver when I was 14...
Death is a fact of life. We're all dying, the question is how we end up going...
Dying at the hands of the anti-embryonic-stem-cell-fanatics governed by Lex Luthor... well... makes a very good point, I think. :)

2. Christopher Reeve wasn't really Superman.
3. Lex Luthor is not a real character, and
4. We don't know if Lex Luthor is really Republican.
:-)
I guess you either suspend disbelief on this one or you don't.
