Parental responsibility, after years of ill health, finally dropped dead outside a comic book store a week ago.

An 11-year-old boy and his foster mother are mad about unwittingly buying a comic book they consider racist.

[...]

One of those comics, titled \”Captain Confederacy,\” is set in a world in which the South won the Civil War and the Confederacy is a world power.

[...]

Boswell bought the comic for her 11-year old son at Dollar More Or Less in Stockton a few days before Christmas. She didn\’t know about the book\’s controversial theme, she said.

Hold on a second. YOU bought a comic book. YOU didn\’t think to check out the content of a comic called \”Captain Confedracy\”. YOU gave it to your son. And now you\’re pissed that your son has been exposed to racist material??

I\’m not even sure where to start. There is such a vacuum of anything resembling intelligence here that I am utterly speechless. Normally I\’d try to point out where you failed in your logic, but logic appears to be vacationing with The Elder in Chihuahua right now.

\”Just stocking stuffers. Or so I thought,\” said Jeanette Boswell, Joey\’s foster mother.

STOP! Back up, reverse that….no, you didn\’t think. You ma\’am, are a moron. An utter bafoon. A complete knee-biter.

\”I\’m trying to follow the gist of this comic book,\” Boswell said. \”It seems to be a racial thing throughout. I really found it offensive.\” Both Joey and Boswell are white. Boswell said the book\’s content also offended her other foster child, who is Black.

It\’s racist and you\’re offended by it. Well then, I can completely understand why you kept reading the damn thing!!! And now that you have established it\’s racist, offensive and all things bad….show it to your siblings. Sounds perfectly normal.

\”I\’d actually like to see whoever is writing this to stop putting out this offensive material,\” Boswell, 55, said. \”The way they\’re doing this, it can really warp some young minds.\”

All things considered ma\’am I think your child was already a lost cause. I know that\’s hard to understanding with some diligent and observant parents. Shit happens, ya know?

Shetterly couldn\’t be reached for comment Wednesday. But he described himself in his blog biography, listed on qwertyranch.blogspot.com, as a tolerant man who ran for governor of Minnesota in 1994. The site didn\’t discuss Captain Confederacy.

Dear god….

[Editors Note : Kevin\'s head just exploded. However, before he passed away he mumbled something about \"Why is it that every dumbass on the planet has run for governor in Minnesota. Ventura. Sharkey Etc]
