Tales from my bed
After the great Fleshbot incident of 2007, I was talking to Bruce before we (really he) went to sleep. Bruce had watched the clip and came to the same conclusion (kind of boring, really not sexy and definitely a rented car). During his time at Fleshbot Bruce noticed an entry about Superman in porn.
I didn’t go looking, so I am summarizing based on what Bruce told me. In the 80’s a comic book featured Superman being kidnapped and hypnotized. Whoever kidnapped the Man of Steel was going to ruin his good name by making him star in a porn. (That is so weird, mostly because this was a mainstream comic book not some freaky sex thing.) Bruce went on to say that in the end, Superman refused to act in a way that was outside his moral code.
I replied, “Well, yeah. Because you can’t hypnotize someone and make them do something they wouldn’t normally do. Like you can’t make someone murder someone.”
Bruce paused and said, “Um, yeah….It’s weird that you know that.”
I can’t remember where I learned that, maybe Perry Mason, Colombo, or one of the millions of documentaries I’ve watched, but is it so weird to know that?
