Dang it! See, I knew I should have completed my post rather than eat lunch. Here I had a link to the strip and the panel 4 all targeted and then you come along and ruin everything! 
I do have to say I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Panel 4 caught my attention immediately. It was a beautiful way to slip in a personal opinion, if that's the panel's intent. Welcome back Mrs... Mrs... Butterworth. Hey, best guess I can muster this early in the day.

I lol'ed.
Actually, what I find just as amusing is that the three friends ended up watching something equally as cliched and craptastic. Oh, yes, I went there. BUUUUUUURN. In fact, I thought this was going to end up being a satirical piece, where at the end they end up watching an anime that is just as bad. While it wasn't explicitly stated, I do still consider it slightly tongue-in-cheek. Okay, I'll stop.
As a girl, I'm going to have to agree with you AWO. Out of all four choices provided in the comic, I'd select the same. More than just selecting the lesser of four evils, I would genuinely go see it if I was invited with a bunch of people. Oh, and if the size of the car is telling of the length of the schlong, then what does that say for the actors in "The Italian Job" - with the BMW Mini Coopers? 
Also, "the hammer is my penis". |

She got married. How stressful can that be? |

That was hilarious and so true! That is exactly how I feel about watching anime and movies. It isn't that we only accept anime and we are against everything else, it's just sometimes everything else is truly crap. I only watch a few TV shows like on USA network and TBS because everything else does not appeal to me. Movies are terrible these days. I usually stick with watching old movies on TCM. Besides that, most anime is more entertaining to me.

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys, but I actually haven't gotten married quite yet.
 That would be in mid-September. The hiatus was just to help me prepare for the wedding.

Oh believe me, it's not nearly as easy as it sounds. Ask any wedding planner and they will tell you that it is a ton of work and requires a ton of planning. I would know, I've had to help a friend with his wedding before and the amount of work he had to put in is quite exhausting. Though I do have a feeling you are being sarcastic so I am not going to bother going into details. |

Now that's what I missed about Nina - people exhaustively overanalyzing and arguing about a comic strip for pages and pages at a time!

Are the 'Man-guns' coming out of his biceps? It might have been unintended but it makes for a really weird(looking) double meaning.
And his 'car' um...small, red and goes so fast that he always arrives first. |

Yeah, John Wayne as Genghis Khan... One of many reasons The Conqueror is considered one of the worst Hollywood movies ever made. I add to the list Marlon Brando as an Okinawan man in Teahouse of the August Moon (a movie which also shows a very Japanese Okinawa >.<) Katherine Hepburn as a Chinese woman in Dragon Seed. Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany's. |

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Sex in the City 2 bit. 'Chocoholic purse' cracked me up.
It just kills me that this is the kind of crap that they're peddling towards women, and the worst part is, so many of them eat it up with a spoon and come back for more. Oh, and then champion it as an example of modern feminism. 'Cause there's nothing better than finding a man, blowing $800 dollars on a pair of shoes, and having meaningless conversations about men and shoes with ones bestest gal pals, amiright? Uh...anyway, here's hoping that the wedding planning is going smoothly, and fairly stress-free, Robin. Good luck! |

And then there's Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai, but then again, that might not count as he was never trying to hide his race nor should Tom Cruise ever be taken seriously.
Don't you remember that rule? The size of a man's car is inversely proportional to the size of his bratwurst. Those guys in The Italian Job must have been very confident people. |

Or as Sir Michael Caine put it, "It's not the size mate, it's how you use it." |
