Richard Lawson — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:28:35 EDT

Attention, white people: Your friends at the racist-as-hell Council of Conservative Citizens want you to boycott the new Thor movie. Why? Because a black actor has been cast as a Norse god! It's an "insulting multi-cultural make-over"! Wait, what? More »
