Why Hasn't DC Comics Done Anything to Stop the Image of Bizarro from being Used to Sell Deadly Synthetic Drugs to Black & Brown Kids? Racism/White Supremacy

When Making a Business Decision the only "color" that matters is White. How appropriate that the trademarked, copyrighted image of D.C. Comics character Bizarro is being used to sell synthetic marijuana to Black & Brown kids. "Bizarro is the perfect imperfect duplicate of Superman, acting as his antagonist or ally depending on the situation. Originally created to be Superman's clone by his nemesis Lex Luthor, his poorly constructed genetics caused him to become the opposite. There have since been many Bizarros based on other characters, and they all live on the alternate Bizarro World. The latest one is avaialble at every corner store in the hood. It is legal, sold to kids as a "potpourri product." Bizarro will not make you super - it will fuck up your mind. [Photo courtesy of Vincent Brown. See any of these on the ground lately?] 

Simple and plain synthetic marijuana is nothing like marijuana. It is deception to even call it marijuana. It is deadly chemical shit to smoke that can destroy your brain or kill you. Its action in the brain may be similar to real marijuana but the physical effect to the brain are different. [MORE]

Synthetic marijuana goes by hundreds of names: Spice, K-2, fake weed, Yucatan Fire, Bliss, Blaze, Skunk, Moon Rocks, and JWH-018, -073 (and other numerical suffixes). Synthetic cannabis, unlike pot, however, can cause a huge variety of symptoms, which can be severe: Agitation, vomiting, hallucination, paranoia, tremor, seizure, tachycardia, hypokalemia, chest pain, cardiac problems, stroke, kidney damage, acute psychosis, brain damage, and death.

Like Scooby Snax, Bizarro  is sold as a "potpourri product," with the disclaimer that it is not intended for human consumption. But it is synthetic "marijuana" smoked by users to get high - real high or a zombiefied high. In general, potpourri is packaged in glossy packaging and comes in the flavors, Watermelon, Green Apple, Blueberry Bliss, Strawberry Smash, Kush and others similar to the flavors available for blunts. There are no time or age restrictions on its sale and its cheap. And there is no need to special order it on the internet [like white kids do], in the Hood it is available at nearly every corner store, gas station or fine carry out establishment - many of these places are open 24 hrs. a day. Don't believe BW, go and see for yourself and then travel to a white neighborhood and see if you can find some.

Bizarro is being used undoubtedly without the blessing of D.C. Comics. For what reason has the white owned and controlled company done nothing to stop the use of its copyrighted image? The sale and distribution of this bullshit obviously furthers the goal of maintaining white domination and the destruction of our youth and our communities. [MORE]
