In this article.

Specifically, in this paragraph:

And when I say "ironic," I mean it.

EDIT: I removed the last two sentences of the paragraph to try and avoid a political discussion - that's not what this is about.

I don't see it either - at least not in the quoted part.

"Iron Man lead" - as opposed to "Iron Man led".

Very good! Thanks.

So Iron Man was the copper, and tin Cap got filled with lead. Amazinc.

Funny.
Well, since I'm inking an Iron Man comic right now, not as funny as it could be.

ah gee--I read "Iron Man Lead" several times and got the present tense verb "lead" superimposed on the pronunciation of the metal "lead" and missed it.

"Iron Man, Iron Man.. does whatever an iron can.."

I guess this storyline was meant to show a Stark reality.

Here's a beauty from CNN:



I guess that would solve the illegal immigration and drug traffic problems simultaneously.

Or perhaps they could all get jobs at the local train station.

I'm afraid you lost me on that one. Is it supposed to be a Boston accent?

OK, now I got it. I was thinking phonetically, and was imagining JFK saying "our recently depoted friend," with the "pot" pronounced like "pot" with a significantly lengthened vowel.

Glad you got it, otherwise I might have had to have had you depoted to Gitmo, in Cuber.

While reading that line for the first time, I "heard" it in my mind in Ozzy Ozborn's voice, trying to fit into the Black Sabbath song "Iron Man" instead of the Spider-Man theme song I now think you intended. Try it; it actually works pretty well...

I didn't get it either.
I missed the typo. I read "deporting" instead of "depoting"

Now I feel stupid.

I agree, I would much rather see catapaults.

Yup, and Spider-Man goes to ESU because you can't Parker car in Harvard Yard.

It's nothing to feel stupid about. Actually, the human brain is very good at ignoring typos, because we naturally guess what something really is and ignore problems. That's why it takes training to be a proofreader. In fact, some proofreaders will actually read a manuscript backwards, from back to front, to ensure that they are looking at the words without the context, which can fool them.
