Dear Bill Maher,
It has recently come to my attention that you chose to malign those who are mourning Stan Lee, belittling Comic Books and their readers in the process.
Thirty years ago, the idea of studying television was laughable. It was widely thought that television is not highbrow enough. Then, as those studying English Literature were able to draw exciting parallels with a different medium, studying television and its impact on the culture as a whole became more acceptable. It's a fairly hot topic now.
I can see that Comic Books will follow a similar arc.
Therefore, may I simply reiterate that which I have said about you for a long, long time:
You
are
an
idiot.
You've borne this out in other areas of your life. You might have a rapid-fire wit, but it was tempered in flames that somehow had some sort of fatuous substance within them, making you a genius about certain things...right before you go off the rails and do something so stupid that my dog wouldn't dream of executing anything that imbecilic.
I often wonder if you and Dennis Miller had coffee, which one of you would shoot himself in the foot first. Miller, like you, has a rapid fire wit that somehow got co-opted by complete derangement following 9/11. For what it's worth, I am completely convinced that Miller has dozens of IQ points on you. I also think he is a lot funnier. That makes his decent into inanity all the more painful for me personally.
You've always been a bit of a screw-up in my head, a pretender to the throne who can't seem to get there even though you talk enough that you think you can. Please see comment regarding your idiocy, above.
But, for whatever reason, there are people on this planet who listen to you, and I beseech you to be careful with your words. As a very wise man once taught us, "With great power comes great responsibility." But you wouldn't know that, would you?
You've never read a comic book.
