Just a Girl Living in Captivity

Johanna over at Comics Worth Reading has a report of Wizard magazine's newest low point. To whit, it's a "game" where you identify which artist drew which female character's booty. Uh, hello? Comics industry? What the fuck?!

Now, I will be honest here, I love looking at shapely ladies. I like watching them on TV and in movies, I like classic pinups, I have a big collection of Bettie Page merch, and I am all about girls with curvy derrieres. But when girls are reduced to NOTHING BUT THEIR PARTS, my feminist ire gets riled. And boy, am I ever riled now. I am even more riled to discover that a previous issue had a similar "game" where you identified female heroines by their breasts alone! Golly!

I am so glad I haven't read an issue of Wizard in years. Yuck.

Wow. They got a huge heap of shit for the tits-or-tat game. (No that's not what they really called it) I'm suprised that they went with their rump redux.
