        We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.

    Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be buying one at the first opportunity.

    My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of “it’s just Jack Black, I guess”.

    (No sarcasm. I’m really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing “Jack Black”.)

          If it’s like that:: They should’ve decided their public stance on the tour bus and not jeopardized their career.

          If it ain’t like that:: They should’ve decided their public stance on the tour bus and been as vocal as possible.

          KG’s outrage is less his fault than a fault in their planning as public figures.

          Is Jack Black a sellout phony piece of shit?

          Would you wear a “Fuck Trump” shirt to work tomorrow?

          Why not, you phony!?

              Only musicians have to wear the politically dangerous slogan that could risk their lives, or the life of their children or partners?

              *I would totally do this hypothetical that I have no danger of actually needing to do in the real world ever. *

              I hope you realize that this reads just like those “you know, if I was on board that plane that got hijacked… Things woulda been different” posts.

        “His friend didn’t like Trump” is a little different to his friend publically endorsing an assassination attempt on their president.

        Anyone who was aghast that ‘OMG Tenacious D broke up’ is no fan - they break up on every album, literally every show - it’s a bit. Jack Black is no fan of Trump, he’s publically stated the entire Apocalypto album was a response to Trump’s 2016 win. He hates his guts.

        That’s very different to advocating for political assassination on stage.

        The smart response was to back away from the situation, distance himself from KG, Kg to issue an apology, let it cool off - and then come back later. And would you look at that - so far that’s exactly what’s been done.

            It’s a really poorly thought out idea.

            Imagine how his followers would react.

            Imagine how many on the left side of US politics would very likely see attempts on their lives or successfully be assassinated in revenge - AOC, Bernie, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib?? Even centrists like Kamala and Obama would be likely targets.

            The damage that political assassinations cause in a democracy (even a flawed one) is far greater than the ‘good’ they may do in taking down a bad leader.

              It’d also inspire assassinations against more fascist leaders, like Vance, Musk, and The Gathering. They’re not invincible.

    Back before “Better Call Saul” was launched, I was in a comic store. They had Breaking Bad action figures. I asked the clerk if a lot of kids were buying the Saul Goodman doll.

    I learned that Saul was actually a good seller; there were plenty of real life lawyers who brought him.

        Those are probably resellers. Unless that one is life-size, I’m pretty sure it’s $20(if it’s the one I’m thinking of). I got a smaller one that comes with a chicken leg, a bag, and a sword, for $10 on amazon. But resellers on there are selling it for $20 or more

        This is an action figure. So this is literally, figuratively Jack Black.

          An action figure that looks like they have not seen any action outside of the kitchen for decades.

            We could call this an Inaction figure.

              Well, you get boring human writing instead:

              “Inaction Man! There’s a seven story building burning with kids and kittens on the top floor!”

              Inaction Man scratches his belly and pops another potato chip into his mouth.

              “Have you considered calling the fire department instead of me? They are doing reruns of the Sopranos so I’m busy.”
