We're consumers. It's just that simple. It's how the media fews us, it's how any business views us, and it's, pretty much, how we views ourselves, being that human beings are now catagorized by what they own, wear, have, and, as a result of all our consumer ways, think...

None of this is going to change, so just embrace your fate. I mean, you're going to buy shit, so you may as well buy shit that you have interest iin. I have 2 of 3 Zim shirts, already, and I couldn't be more satisfied w/ myself... Well, if I had that 3rd shirt I couldn't be more satified w/ myself...

I don't agree w/ your Zim-being-not-all-that-great statement. I'm not starved for entertainment, but I watch Zim anyway, because it's just plan good. Funny, pretty to look at, what more you ask for? See? I'm even quoting the show. Wowza!

Uhhh.... In conclusion, you're both a fan and a consumer whore, but it's better to be both, because you're a consumer whore either way. nd not just you, all of us. SO, BUY, DAMN YOU! BUY!

In other news, some clerk at a Hot Topic told me that new Johnnys are being made as we speak. I'm not sure where he gets his information, but let's hope it's more reliable than ours, because I wants me some more comics...
