If Superman Applied to the Daley Planet Today



Some time ago, venerated news magazine The Onion ran a story on how the most unrealistic part of the Superman universe, which, in case you've forgotten, revolves around a man who can fly through the air so fast he can reserve the rotation of the planet, is that the Daily Planet newspaper where Clark Kent works is economically healthy. Not to be outdone, Twitter user James Grebey uploaded a polite rejection letter penned by Daily Planet editor Perry White schooling Clark Kent on his job options in an age where print media is dead or dying. Between this, the sub-par performance of Man of Steel at the box office, and the fact that I caught a few moments of Superman 3 while channel-flipping this weekend, and it seems America's longest-serving superhero cannot get a break.
