Looking at that guy is making my skin crawl.

What was NJ's second "superhero"? Does GWAR count?

"a power in the area of W 59th St & 10th Ave" Could the wrath of Mordor be so close upon our doorstep?

The Octomom would have to be run over by a train for me to feel sorry for her.

Yeah, damage to a person's car versus untold psychological damage to innocent children. I think I know who to feel sorry for.
