I think that there was recently a thread about threads here that make you wish you weren’t drinking fluids when you looked at at them. Or sites on the web in general.
But I didn’t subscribe and I can’t find the thread now. So I can’t add this to it.
Please, please, please, take my warning seriously. As seriously as Elaine should have taken the Soup Nazi warning:

Gore-Al! Bwa ha ha!
Yep, the picture made me chuckle but “Al Gore—or, as he is known in his own language, Gore-Al” was fantastic.
The rocket also functions as a get-away from manbearpig.
Anyone notice the subtle shout-out to Jerry and Joe?
I’d say the whole article is a not-too-subtle one.
Kal-Al must be as smart as his dad, seeing as Gore-Al packed his complete 1992 bestseller and not its childrens version, Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth.
I didn’t think Tipper did The Nasty.
But what would his kryptonite be?
Hanging chads? (Is that the right term?)
Anyone notice that the little blue lights / jets / whatever on the bottom half of that capsule look rather like TEETH???
Methinks Gore-al is inadvertently feeding the baby to some hideous creature!!
They do, and probably that adds to the incredible silliness of the image and story.
Which would probaly be blue.
One of the earliest comic book covers I recall is a JO, prolly in 1961 or 1960. On the cover Jimmy was in interdimensional contact with a golden-haired hottie (whose name, IIRC was Allura) who promised, correctly, that the blue sun of her world would energize him to be like Superman.
(The only catch was that the monitor screen failed to indicate anything for scale comparison. When Jimmy actually met the gal, he was surprised to find out that she and all of her people were giants in comparison to earthlings. This put quite a damper on their budding trans-D romance.
Another way of putting it was that Jimmy turned out to be a bit too --small --for her needs. Although no comic book would have ever gone into that detail of the general problem. :eek: )
1960 was the first year they said that solar radiation had anyhtring to do with Supie’s powers, although there was a vague reference such an idea in 1953. Prior to '60, Krypton was first described only as having a greater gravity, with a radically different atmosphere added later. The logic was that if the red/yellow change could empower certain aliens, a yellow/blue change could do the same for us. The logic wasn’t applied very consistently, and Superman, had no powers under “green” suns, which would actually be white. (For that matter, blue suns are really blue-white. This is for reasons that have a rather lengthy explanation.)
The blue light/jets/crystals fit in with the presumed destination. But what OTHER color could we expect for the politics involved?!
Ever since 2000, there has been only one color associated with the Democratic Party!
And red (favorite) “SONS” (GROOOAN! :rolleyes: ) would be the weakness Kythereia was curious about.
