He & Sorbo need to have themselves a bro down, together. My money is on Cain being first nut out.

Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...

Anyone who just read the headline needs to actually go read the article. It's not very long. Not that the headline is misleading, he absolutely said those things, but the whole thing is just the most deranged rant. Cain somehow got from being mad about changing the slogan to "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" to immigrants want to make America into Somalia in two moves.

He's the Ripley's believe it or not guy, and had a superman series that didn't do well for like 3 or 4 seasons. He's super right wing and super douchey sorta like the dude that ruined Andromeda Kevin sorbo.

I'm super disappointed. I had sympathy for the guy, the superman of my childhood. Anyway

So this is how he tries to start relevant now? He should get a hobby.

Wait 'til they find out that Joe Shuster was an immigrant too.

Red Son is the only correct version of Superman.

Everything else is bourgeois revisionism.

Hol the F up, the guy from Believe it or Not was superman?

Why tho?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The guy from Superman was on Ripley's. He was one of the popular actors in that era. The show was pretty good and he had a decent turn as the Boy in Blue.
