A fate worse than death

You know you are having a bad year when you die...and then something worse happens to you.

I know, I know...what could be worse than death? Well, imagine if you spent upwards of 60 years building a reputation. Your good deeds, your heroic attitudes, your high moral fiber were things so interwound with your image that an attack on your heroism and patriotism is akin to an attack on your country...and you are an ardent, dedicated to the defense of your country in principle and fact.

Well, Captain America is perhaps the premiere example of such a person. From the very inception of the character he has had a carefully maintained (albeit artificially created...he is, after all, a fictional character) image of patriotism, superior morality, dedication to duty and country above all. Earlier this year he was killed.

Seems like a pretty bad year for Captain America. Unfortunately, Raymond Adamcik found a way to make Captain America's year worse.

I suppose it was bad enough he felt compelled to stuff a burrito into his Captain America tights. You would think by 54 years of age the time for padding and artificially augmenting various, ah, anatomical body parts in hopes of attracting members of the opposite sex would be past. This especially applies to food products. At this point it really seems like the set-up for an unfortunate encounter with a dog or other animal sniffing out said burrito and trying to take a bite with unfortunate consequences for Adamcik. While certainly I would find this entertaining...that did not happen.

No, it is worse, much worse. Captain America, as portrayed by Adamcik, instead found it appropriate to roam an Australian bar groping women.

I think the image of Captain America has taken about as much battering as it can...speaking of cans, that is where our intrepid "hero" attempted to flush his marijuana....while at the police station. Hard to believe he got caught...or that a story of Captain America being arrested for sexual harrasment would be in any way, shape or form related to the consumption of marijuana and alcohol.
