May is almost here and we all know what that means… Blackest Night is upon us and I for one am hoping that Geoff Johns is able to turn in a better summer crossover than Grant Morrison did on Final Crisis.
If that first para made no sense to you, it’s ok. *whispers* it’s a comic related thingy, u know, juvenile stuff */whisper*
If you read Green Lantern, you’ll know that the basic premise is driven by the association of a particular emotion with a color. So for eg. Red is associated with Rage, Green with Will, Yellow with Fear etc.
The more I thought about it, the more I began to whack out and started seeing red all over the place. Kind of like Jim Carrey’s character in The Number 23.
The abundance of Red in our lives can only lead to a simple conclusion.
We are a society filled with Anger and Hate.
That explains the following phenomenon:
· The most popular shades of Lipstick, Hair Dye and Nail Polish? You guessed it!
· The most popular color for Cars? Wow! You’re Good
· The color of the traffic light that causes the most number of accidents?
· What color are the hearts drawn in most cards?
· What was the color of the Carpet that stars like Bale, Crowe walked on?
I could go on and on. Point is, with the media feeding you constant news reminding us of the beast within us, with constant reminders of the divisions that mark us, constant reminders of the perils around us, and with the abundance of the color red around us, is it any wonder then,
