Are you suggesting we should send Marv to have a talk with him? > **[Marv (Sin City)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marv_(Sin_City))** > > Marv is a fictional character in the graphic novel series Sin City, created by Frank Miller. In the 2005 film adaptation and its 2014 sequel, he is played by Mickey Rourke. He first appears in The Hard Goodbye and follows with appearances in A Dame to Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, and Silent Night. He makes a brief cameo in Blue Eyes (as featured in Lost, Lonely, and Lethal). > Marv has been well received both as a comic book character and a film character. > Marv is one of the major char... ---

[Gibson & Barnes](http://www.gibson-barnes.com/Leather+Jackets/id/18/cat_id/18/) (formerly Flightsuits, Ltd.) have nice leather jackets. I can recommend them. None of their offerings look like the one in the OP, but the civilian-style jackets starting on the second page are nice in their own right. ---

Why do you call this pastor a “stupid, evil, dumbass”? Because he burned a book he didn’t agree with?? ---

> [@scamartistry](#): > > Why do you call this pastor a “stupid, evil, dumbass”? > > Because he burned a book he didn’t agree with?? Well, yes and no. He did it and encourages others to do it, in a very public way. He’s a publicity hound, for…what? Nothing, really. He’s just an asshole. ---

> [@scamartistry](#): > > Why do you call this pastor a “stupid, evil, dumbass”? > > Because he burned a book he didn’t agree with?? Because by any sane measure he’s a stupid, evil, dumbass. You might take a second to wonder why he doesn’t ping your _stupid evil dumbass_ radar. He burned the book hoping that people would get killed so he could make a broader point about Islam in general by the actions of a few. That’s evil. He speaks like an ignorant yokel and obviously is in over his head on the national stage. That’s stupid. He wears a bushy foo-manchu. That’s dumbass. ---

> [@scamartistry](#): > > Why do you call this pastor a “stupid, evil, dumbass”? > > Because he burned a book he didn’t agree with?? Book burning pings my radar right from the get-go. You’ve got to have a hell of a story to get out of the dumbass category with me after you burned a book. Ash in Evil Dead, fine. Harry Potter stabbing Riddle’s diary to death, fine. In general, book burning, not-so-fine. I could go on, but I don’t want to derail the thread, plus **Lobohan** has already hit the high points. Thanks, **Lobohan**. ---

As an offshoot of scamartistry’s question, so as not to derail this thread, [thread=605985]I’ve started a poll regarding burning books versus burning flags[/thread], since that’s the other hot-button burny thing. > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > [Gibson & Barnes](http://www.gibson-barnes.com/Leather+Jackets/id/18/cat_id/18/) (formerly Flightsuits, Ltd.) have nice leather jackets.

They aren’t cheap are they? Financially it still makes sense to take that pastor dude’s jacket. > [@Jenaroph](#): > > He also accidentally shot a hole in his own car. That’s stupid and dumbass. Maybe the car was asking for it. ---

> [@Attack\_from\_the\_3rd\_dimension](#): > > Very nice. Thanks. They aren’t cheap are they? Financially it still makes sense to take that pastor dude’s jacket. They’re not as inexpensive as many jackets, but they are of higher quality IME. They’re half as expensive as many similar jackets.
