Such tripe like this makes me wanna puke all over their keyboard.
Those guys who are worried about kinder, gentler boys need to just suck it up and be MEN dammit... men who fight for what they believe in, fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. To be men and women are damned glad of it.

What's that you say? A rogue vigilante, who dons a mask at night to fight crime while using illegal weapons, with no endorsement from local law enforcement authorities, may not be a good role model for young boys?
Incredulity aside, it turns out that even some of the "nicer" comic-book heroes might not be so good for the kids. That's the conclusion of a new study of current superhero movie characters (how does one apply for this job?). The researchers behind the study shared their findings at the American Psychological Association convention this past Sunday. What's most surprising about the results of the study is that it doesn't necessarily vilify all of these powerful characters -- just modern-day superheroes. The superheroes your parents watched and read many moons ago? Those guys were just fine. http://www.hollywoodwiretap.com/?module=news&action=story&id=51077
