Kinda Unforgivable
I’m glad Absolut apologized. And it was a good apology. But it will probably be a while before I drink that brand again. They need to learn their lesson that they can’t go around exploiting anti-Americanism abroad to sell their products.

The Death of Kara Zor-El
It was the most colossal crisis that the countless universes of the Multiverse had ever encountered. The supremely evil Anti-Monitor had destroyed thousands, no, millions of worlds in this universe and the next.
Untold googals of innocent people had perished by the anti-matter waves of the cosmic villain. Time was growing thin as the Anti-Monitor increasingly obliterated matter-based existenc, with only a small handful of universes remaining.
When a group of Earth based superheros traveled into the Anti-Matter Universe to take down the Anti-Monitor it was Kara Zor-El, better known as the inimitable Supergirl, was the one who made the ultimate sacrifice.
In a selfless act of heroism, Kara saved her friends from the Anti-Monitor’s murderous intentions while simultaneously taking a fatal blast of energy from the Anti-Monitor.
Fading into oblivion, Superman held Kara in his arms. She looked up at him with a serene, contented smile. She was glad to sacrifice her life for the good of the universe.
With her last breath, she whispers to Superman, “If you’re crying…please don’t. You taught me to be brave…and I was…I…I love you so much for what you are…for how good you are.”
But not even the beautiful poetry of Kara’s dying words could stop the Man of Steel’s tears.

Mister Mxyzptlk
Mister Mxyzptlk is a mischievous imp from the incomprehensibly mysterious fifth dimension! Completely liberated from the so-called “laws” of physics of the third dimension, Mister Mxyzptlk is free to wreak havoc to any degree he may wish!
However, Mister Mxyzptlk has usually decided to restrict his activities to pulling cruel pranks rather than taking over planet Earth. As time went on, the vicious nature of Mister Mxyzptlk’s pranks began to have a deep psychological effect on his unfortunate victims.
An arch-enemy of Superman’s, Mister Mxyzptlk has frequently collaborated with such purveyors of evil as Lex Luthor and Braniac. On the occasions that Mister Mxyzptlk decides to grace the third dimension with his presence, Superman has promptly sent him back by fooling the interdimensional imp into saying his name backwards. This is the only way to get rid of Mister Mxyzptlk, so all concerned citizens should begin working on the proper pronunciation of “Kltpzyxm”!
However, time and again, Mister Mxyzptlk will return to our dimension to pleasure his inhuman sense of humor. Apparently the fifth dimension must be lonely and without fellow pranksters. And as we all know, performers need an audience!
