No, no, no, no!
Too much! Too far! I heard that was too grim and Sequidio's boss Pop Warner had it changed to a less offensive, but still terrible, shaving.
Oddly enough, Gladys the Sentient Disco Ball ends up the villain in this piece and loses her mind. She just catch a break as a character.

Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Yeah but it'll have those great Alex Ross covers that won't have a thing to do with the story inside the book!

*Choke*
I've been reassigned to 'LMB Prep', a digest-sized magazine for 8-12 year old girls. Apparently I'm gonna be an instructor at some prep-school for wannabe superkids.
I'm so suing the Warners for constructive dismissal.

Wait until you see what they'll have you wearing in it. Lets just say that even though they claim its for 8-12 year olds, I suspect its really for 35-45 year old men.

Is that like Jay calling Shannon Elizabeth "Booboo Kitty F@#$" in J&SBSB" ?

All posters immediately report to the roleplay event to high profile yourself in the crossover in hopes for a more popular place in the relaunch!
Er, but you stick with me Crujeckie, we can use the same 'method' we've always used to be popular, the kind that involves a small amount of bedsheets and ceiling fans obscuring specific things.

Bah all the characters of the MMB should go on strike to protest editorial stupidity.
I know the Alt-IDs have unionized but then a splinter faction of insane ex-girlfriend Alt-IDs attacked them.

Did you hear they're going to Tamper Lad into the new STU? Ugh. Tamper Lad is perfect as he is already, they don't need to try to shoe-horn him into another identity. And why the need for a 2nd STU? The first one is great...I'm so sick of all these identity switches. Especially when they're just trying to high-profile another green LMBer (and I have no problem with green superheroes, I just want them to develop as they're own LMBers, not take on the costumed identies of old ones).

It appears the readership has reacted heatedly to news of the cancellation, as posts are actually up! I wonder if this ground-up movement will help?

So umm ... your specific things can be obsured with a small amount of bedsheet? Sorry to hear that.

As suspected, although the internet caused an inflated bump in MMB posts, sales pretty much died down again. Cancellation hovers again.
I suggest a full-on relaunch. (Not reboot)

Have we tried the one where we get a popular artist to draw extremely well-endowed female characters on the covers?

Unfortunately, that's how the MMB was initially created.

We'll add 8-page back-up threads.
Our annuals will include a time-travel trip to our old message boards.

Well MMB, you may be back on the chopping block. You better sex it up real fast, and I don't just mean that tired old subplot of Pov not wearing pants.
