[Is there a better way to celebrate the manger-birth of a superpowered messiah-baby than watching television? Hell no! Join Rendar Frankenstein as he navigates Spaceship OL through the Televised Days of Christmas!]

There’s no denyin’ that there’s some debate as to how Christmas should be celebrated. Religious-folk’ll tell you that the purpose of the holiday is to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, and as such there should be plenty of Nativity scenes and trips to church and prayers uttered. On the other hand, secular-folk’ll tell you that the spirit of season is to make a concerted effort to spend time with friends and family, honoring our fellowships with feasts and drinking-bouts and gift-giving sessions.

And somewhere in the middle of this Venn diagram, there is agreement. Peace on Earth. Goodwill towards men. Santa Claus. Zealot or heathen, we can all get down with these Yuletide trademarks.

But what if this harmony is actually overwhelming our senses, robbing us of the ability to hear the strains of discord? Could this seemingly beautiful concord blind us to the truth? With everyone getting along, giving one another the benefit of the doubt, how would we ever know if the most wonderful time of the year had a sordid past?

Well, we’d have to be visited by the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future.

Someone clearly has figured out the (multi)universe.

Via.

Patty Jenkins was totally going to direct Thor 2. Now she’s totally not going to. The reversal of directing fortunes has cheesed off Black Swan herself, Ms. Natalie Portman.

There’s a new initiative designed to promote breast cancer awareness that is centered around women from comic books. I don’t know how effective it’ll be, since I imagine the advertisements just giving fanboys chubbies, but it is worth a try.

Hello fellow travelers on the Spaceship, it’s worth mentioning that there may be insanity outages throughout the rest of the week. I’m currently cranking out a couple of final projects, and so if there is a bit of silence don’t despair. The ole ticker hasn’t popped because of one two many 2 liters of Pepsi Max. Not yet. Not yet. Caffeine Powered prevails. Anyways, godspeed and by next Monday I’ll have a month of glorious stability with which to pepper your tits with stunningly nerdy posts and other drivel.

Alas, life is embraced once again! It’s a Wonderful Life reminds all viewers that they’re worth something, even if they don’t think so. And for its saccharine resolution, the movie has come to be known as the forerunner of all holiday entertainment.

But what if the lesson in It’s a Wonderful Life can’t be universally applied? What happens if someone who is a societal malignancy begins contemplating non-existence? What do we learn when peering into another dimension in which an individual’s absence allows others to flourish?

In those instances, we have to accept that It’s a Bundyful Life.
