Marvel Done Lost Their Minds

I imagine the meeting for Spider-Man: India went something like this:

Dumb Ass Ex: We need new ways to oversaturate the market with Spider-Man. What do kids like?

Ass Kisser #1: Skateboarding!

Ass Kisser #2: Squirtable yogurt on the go…

Ass Kisser #3: Ninjas!

Dumb Ass Ex: My kid loves this Prince of Persia game on XBOX. Anything there?

Ass Kisser #1: Perfect!

Ass Kisser #2: I love it!

Ass Kisser #3: Persia’s the new Japan!

The New Guy: Isn’t Persia now Iran?

Ass Kisser #1: Is it?

Ass Kisser #3: How about India, like a Bollywood angle…

Ass Kisser #2: Ooooh…Yeah. Very hip.

Dumb Ass Ex: I've got it! Spider-Man as a young Indian teenager with baggy pants and funny shoes!

Ass Kissers #1, #2 & #3: Brilliant!

The New Guy: (eyes roll to the back of his head and he dies a little inside)

Pavitr Prabhakar?! Come on...

*shudder*

They really should have explored the squirtable yogurt thing a bit more - I'm sure there's an excellent tie in to be had.

Yeah. I actually think they should exploit the whole portable dairy family. Squirtable yogurt, string cheese, pocket milk...

Gee, I never realized there were so many mobile milk-based merchandise items available.

The chief villian would have to be lactose intolerant of course.
