DC Comics Sues Bush “League of Just Us” Over “Super Fiends” Rip-Off
DC Comic is suing vice president Bush and a host of his two-dimensional “Super Fiends” for swiping their, “ultimately doomed, but copyrighted ‘League of Just Us’ and ‘Super Fiends’ characters.” The DC Comics’ Super Fiends were defeated by low Neilson polling data in 1984. Nonetheless, the secret drafting of a National Inse
curity Plan by Paul Wolfowitz, aka Hawk Man, and Richard Perle, aka The Flash, paved the way for new life among born-again chicken hawks. A DC Comics spokeschild issued this statement: “The facts are clear: Bush and Cheney are Badman and Robbin’, Rumsfield is Water Boy, and Condoleezza is Wander Woman. The White House is the Hall of Just Us. The congressional Democrats are the Legion of Doom and Gloom. The role of Supper Man is played tag team by thousands of ‘guessed hosts’ trying to influence the Bush League. We realized in 1984 that Super Fiends wasn’t worth the paper that it was printed on. Unfortunately, the Bush League can print as much money as it likes, so it can afford the hundreds of billions of dollars needed to prop up such a bankrupt idea. We just want our cut.”
Vice President Bush dismissed the suit, “Look, I know copyright from copywrong, and we are so copyright it’s unbelievable.”
President Cheney discounted the whole lawsuit, “Anyone can see that George is Inflexible Man, and is clearly in the public domain. Besides, we don’t even support human rights. What makes anybody think that we are going to support the rights of mirror caricatures. And by the way, I prefer to be called, “Puppet Master.”
One comics industry analyst suggested that the rip-off may have been motivated by the decision by the Double D Comics Political Action Committee to support 2-D candidate John Kerry in the last, or potentially last, presidential election: “It was a close call, but the Double D Comics PAC thought, much to their chagrin, that John Kerry’s chin would vault him to super hero status. In retrospect, it was a big mistake. Bush turned out to be the ultimate two-dimensional caricature of a president, colorful but with an uncanny ability to think in black-and-white.”
To facilitate a compromise, the Bush League threatened eminent domain on DC Comics World Headquarters. In response to such an indecent act, the comic giant agreed to bare all and drop its suit. The Bush Family, Inc. agreed to purchase a complete set of First Edition Super Fiends comics for the George W. Bush Presidential Library, thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Crayola Corporation’s Write to Read Program.
Top Pun’s Funny News may not be completely factual, but it has a frighteningly close resemblance to the truth. Any reference to president George W. Bush does not imply that he is an actual president.
