Nothing funny about this comic

Why?

A few days after the news that some idiot paid $1m for a Superman comic, the lunacy continues as Batman goes for more.

There's definitely air getting in.

Maybe it was the same bozo who forked out £65m for an ugly statue.

Should I ever do anything so obscene, shoot me between the eyes...

What sort of ego massage/insecurity/greed drives someone to do this? It truly must be completely detached from reality to even consider such nonsense.

As the old native American saying goes,

Only when the last tree has died, and the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught, will we realise we cannot eat money.

Don't you wonder what you should do with all those cd's?

Normally I'm not one for promoting rabid capitalism and all that, however as I am financially insecure and in order to have a bit of a clear out of dusty cd's, I found this site.

What began as simple curiosity, soon turned into a mini obsession.

A cardboard box was duly fetched from the cupboard under the stairs (yes I will have to find somewhere for the stuff that came out of it, stop nagging) and glasses put on in order to be able to see the microscopic numbers of each cd's barcode.

The company stipulate that cd's/dvd's/games must be in very good condition and without damage to the sleeve notes.

Prices varied from 30 pence for old unwanted cd's to £10 for a dvd box set.

A total of £200 worth was stuffed into the box, sealed and is awaiting collection, cheque clearing and then shopping...

The Beatles remastered aren't being sold at any price.

Christmas Shopping

I woke around 1.30am and went downstairs to check if my virtual wages had been deposited in my symbolic interactionism bank.

They had.

Off we drove, bleary eyed and arrived at the mother and father of all capitalism.

One slight kerfuffle was the licensing laws, which prevented us from getting any booze.

That aside and a large amount of money later, we could now bask in the knowledge that should the four horsemen of the apocalypse arrive on Christmas, we could at least give them a mince pie.

Bullshit, bollocks, and bumfluff.

No, it isn't the name of your town's newest solicitors, just a statement of opinion about the 'financial crisis', which quite frankly bores the frigging arse off me.

How is it that the 'government' (first against the wall...) can get away with being £178 billion in debt? Then ask us to pay for it?

What does that even mean?

Is it a lorryload? A mini skip?

Money only exists to keep the people in their place and when you're at the top of the shit heap there's no-one left to wheel you off to the asylum.

It's all just symbolic interactionism anyway. You can't eat paper or keep warm on coins.

It's only a matter of time before we all get micro chipped...
