Stan Lee's comic properties have made tons of people millionaires. Or, if we just want to talk comic strips? Peanuts as a brand was bringing in 1.1 billion annually, and making Schultz directly 30-40 million/year at the time of his death.
Restricted just to comic websites? I can't speak to how much Mike and Jerry over at Penny Arcade make each year, but their charity brought in 2.3 million just last year. They've personally got revenue streams from ads, merch, collections, video games, a TV show, and probably their two conventions as well.
So, for all his "genius IQ", Adams sure seems to have trouble with research.
One of these thought experiments was to "poke the hornets nest" if you will for the Men's Rights movement, in order to see if there is actually honey worth defending at the core. (Spoiler: there is, and he admits it). He genuinely challenges people with new ideas, and has been thoroughly chronicling the way information travels across the net when taken out of context, exactly as we are doing here.
Poor form Paul, and yes, you are the kettle here.
Something tells me Mr. Certified Genius IQ didn't intend to compare himself to Mohammed. I wonder if he's been re-certified lately?
Definitely a douche.
If you have commented here without reading his entire, very long "defense" with the concluding self-interview, you have made his point..... And if you read the entire thing without a single chuckle (Spanx indeed), you take life way too seriously.
These events, along with his creationist beliefs make him a totally regressive, unscientific douchebag. Sure, you can get a job as an engineer, but you probably aren't the championed non-idiot you think you are.
I'm just asking questions, guys!
Guess what, devils' advocacy for misogyny and racism is douchebaggy and cowardly.
Instead of actually bringing up serious issues, he courts the worst elements under the guise of decency and intellectual curiosity. He's not curious, he knows exactly what he thinks, and he's not injecting any positive action into the process. He's lousy and regressive and exactly the same as any other religious creationist conservative in his approach.
Look up the wedge strategy, while again directed towards creationism in schools, the debate strategy is the same. Pseudointellectualism that only appeals to people with much higher opinions of their brains than is earned.
Oh, and this: "Women wanting equal pay is on par with children wanting candy for dinner?"
No problem. Just do equal work. Trouble is, they don't. They take safer, less strenuous jobs. They work less and for fewer years. That is all documented. So they earn less, as a group, once those variables are accounted for.
Sorry. Everyone fair-minded figured that out about a decade ago. You just are not reading the honest people.
