   Well excuuuuuuuuuuuze me $@$G$4$6(J$@$$$^$9!*(J

No, no! Don't apologize! I meant "A Dumb question" from me!!!
Well, any way, I am glad that you followed up on the article. I should
have been more careful. But the way you wrote "excu*ze" is, er, neat.

   His sexist remarks and the attitude that he represents the Real American
   Point of View are why I bought a TV with a remote control.

I am afraid that I haven't seen him speak sexist remarks much although
he like many men including myself must hide a lot of things that he
spoke when he was a kid and can't speak with serious face any longer
in today's world.

   I haven't read any of these.  But I would agree that his jokes are
   terrible.
You ca be assured of that :-)

   I don't think Tokyo is necessary, since we know that all superheroes can
   either fly or teleport.
Great. So you are counting in the old heros (like Superman).

   Maybe a Meta-antihero?

Well, maybe. Is meta-anti-hero apropos hero?

BTW, are you from the U.S.A.? 
I am intrigued because you said "...that he represents the Real American

Only American could have such a response, I thought :-)
