.....MonkeyWoman??? - If I could be a superhero, I will get inspiration from ..... monkeys? Oh boy. Humanity is saved now.  |

| | | Xandax,
I don't think you are appreciating the subtlety of this character. This is a methaphor for our entire existence and the full circle of life. Just as monkeys became "super" by evolving into humans, so she now becomes super by merging with her ancestral lineage.
Plus the weakness of Organ-grinder music was beautiful. |

As Paddy Chayevsky once wrote, television is democracy at its ugliest.

'Superhero' by Stephen Lynch (No the congressman)
Xandax, come on, think about it, if you get trapped on top of a large fiery building with no hopes of getting down on your own, who would you rather rescue you? Some broad in a furry bikini, or big muscly fireman Bob over here? |

| | | Awwww, why couldn't I hear about that? I would have loved to be an idiot just to have a chance of being a superhero. Throwing bananas at people for a living, that's a real lucrative career. |
