Obama -The Superhero

I was reading todays news paper and this news in particular caught my attention. The news is that American President Barack Obama will be featured in a comic strip and will become the super hero “destined to save the great republic of America and dethrone the overpaid despots of the time”.

The comic is(mercilessly) titled ‘The Righteous Retribution of Barack the Barbarian’.

The moment I saw that, I started wondering where the world was heading. I mean, having your favorite politician as an idol is one thing, but making him a cartoon character and having him battle against the likes of Sarah Palin and ‘who-knows-who’ is totally out of my understanding boundaries. What if we had something like that made in our country? Hmm… It’s kinda of funny to think of how ‘Super Sonia’ would battle it out against the ‘evil adversary Advani’ to save the world from extinction. Or if ‘Karuna’ would have a chance to beat ‘Dr.J’ in a life threatening dual. (the examples used are purly based on pun and has no connection to any of my political views). With the upcoming elections that would definitely be a blast huh!!!
