The week in review
The May 16th edition of the New York Post featured an article about a group of people who were offended by Sideshow's Mary Jane Comiquette. Of course, the first paragraph already paints a negative tone by stating "Say, doesn't that comely babe - barefoot, buxom and scrubbing some laundry - look familiar?" Certainly the intent here is to be lighthearted, but it plays directly to the view of the offended party by stating a completely inaccurate description. Clearly, yes, she does look familiar, and yes, there is little doubt that she is both buxom and barefooted, but where is the scrub board? Maybe we're blind, but it looks to us like that's a simple laundry basket not unlike the one in your own closet or the one on you Aunt Ginny's kitchen table. Starting off a story on this topic with such an inaccurate description of the statue doesn't help keep the article impartial, and as such, that is the reason we're posting this statement.
