[MeetThaNewDealer]

Liberal social agenda LMAO

[SWEP2AOTC2002]

@MeetThaNewDealer Yes a liberal social agenda

True he is not taking from one to give to the other but he does build on the idea of a nanny state where everyone depends on him instead of themselves

[Kkyyrruu]

[mayhem9024]

@2112murphy yeah he techincally since they changed it to being him born on earth with the space pod thing he's from kansas.

[taffysaur]

Thx for posting this.

It's a great documentary. I remember watching it on the History Channel when it aired in 2002. I taped it too, but I don't have a VHS machine anymore. Thanks for the upload.

[DinoRAGe47]

Hey...isn't Superman an illegal immigrant?

[Thekamoshunsource]

@DinoRAGe47 He payed his dues...lmao!

[TheBlueNovaStudios]

don't spread that around or homeland is gonna deport him

[TheYella20]

One of the creators is Canadian who made him American, that doesn't make Superman Canadian lol

[Tobbe9975432]

What is a Pulp magazine?

[Br0wNN01sE]

Who cares if Superman is Canadian or American. The fact of the matter is this: Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

[MontagTheMagician]

Thanks for posting this. I caught the last half of this this morning but missed the beginning.

[shishiwakamaru4]

thank you 

[chedpal64]

Goliath narrates comic book history.

Greatest thing on the History Channel ever.

[Br0wNN01sE]

[fun012345]

i love this flim

[plo7314]

Superman Is a Canadian =D

[mayhem9024]

@plo7314 no he isn't

[plo7314]

@mayhem9024 sorry if im not specific, Superman is 50% canadian, happy?

[mayhem9024]

@plo7314 how? supes if anything would be american but even then he's an illegal soooo.

[plo7314]

@mayhem9024 To be even more specific, one of the two creator of superman is a canadian, thus making Superman 50% canadian.

[mayhem9024]

@plo7314 Dude that's like a guy makinga character in india yet the character is born in japan.It doesn't matter dude it's no different than a british parent having a kid in america that kid is an american.

[plo7314]

@mayhem9024 Im sticking to the facts, not patriotism

[mayhem9024]

@plo7314 the fact is he would still be american as the character himself is born in kansas but whatever go by your imaginary world rules.

[grumpytosnowwhite]

@mayhem9024 Well, he wasn't born in Kansas, but he was raised in Kansas and that was the pointedly important part: the quintessential american is an immigrant who identifies more with his adopted home than his birth home.

[fun012345]

this is so cool

[fun012345]

im glad that this is back on youtube yahoo

[fun012345]
