Real life imitates comics, probably makes Joe Simon and Jack Kirby proud

The NY Post is reporting that 20-year-old Kevin Crawford allegedly, decked out in a skull mask that was colored red, walked into a Brooklyn bank last week and demanded $4,000 from the teller. He managed to make off with twice that, but was followed by a crowd and soon stopped by by Borough Park Shomrim volunteers — unarmed civilians set up by the Hasidic communities of NYC — until the police arrived.

While we can’t say if Crawford was paying deliberate tribute to the Red Skull, that villainous arch-nemesis of Captain America, or he was just frat-boy-psyched about the mask, we will say that whenever something Nazi-related can be struck down by those of Jewish origins, it’s always a good day.

How dare they cause them to parent!

Ice cream trucks are full of hope and delight. Oh sure, the music can grate after a while, but 85 percent of the time, it’s filled with frozen novelties and milk-based delicious treats, as opposed to the 15 percent that’s filled with pedophiles.

Except for parents in Brooklyn. You see, for them, ice cream trucks are nothing but a horrendous menace. Is it because they cost too much? No. Are they causing their kids to become overweight? No. Is it because when the parents have to tell their children no to the ice cream truck, the offspring proceed to throw a tantrum, thus causing the parents to have to actually parent?

*Sigh* Yes. Yes it is.
