The Perverted Web: Spiderman And Mary Jane’s Pearl Necklace
THERE could be a lot more than just a Spider-sense tingling when prepubescent boys get a load of Marvel comic’s latest figurine of Peter Parker’s wife Mary Jane.
The 14-ins action comiquette depicts a barefooted MJ bending over a tub scrubbing Spidey’s outfit to reveal an ample set of cleavage and a pink thong sticking out of her jeans. She’s even wearing a pearl necklace, geddit?
Needless to say, an army of comic fans are complaining loudly across the Interweb.
When Fangirls Attack, a blog dedicated to women in comics, has collated hundreds of MJ-inspired posts in the past week.
“She’s barefoot… in the kitchen… with her tits and thong hanging out… a pearl necklace on… while she washes Spidey’s costume in a bucket,” wrote one blogger. “Yep, we’ve come a long way. She would’ve had to wear a skirt to do this twenty years ago.”
Blogger Logansrogue digitally altered the figurine image to show how Spidey would look in Mary Jane’s “take me from behind” pose.
And a blogger who sent a letter of complaint to Sideshow Collectibles received the following reply:
“Our product is not produced to make a political or social statement but is fashioned after entertainment properties currently in the market place. We suggest that if you do find the Mary Jane product offensive that you refrain from viewing that web page.”
In other words: Take a hike. Besides, the figure has already sold out, which totally baffles at least one male comic fan:
“I’m a hetersexual dude who owns stacks of actual porn. And megs of virtual porn. Who even pays a monthly fee for yet more porn. And I can’t wrap my head around the people who buy these statues. I can barely comprehend buying the TASTEFUL ones. The ones that don’t earn you shameful glances from your mom. These statues cost anywhere from a hundred to five hundred dollars. And the most popular ones seem to be those like the MJ one…or the White Queen one or the travesty of a Big Barda one (where they make her a bikini clad sex kitten, rather than one of the most powerful bad-asses in the DC ‘verse)…
“I mean the statues aren’t even GOOD porn! Do you know how much girl-on-girl smut I could get for the cost of one these things? I don’t know either, but I bet its a lot…”
Just wait until he gets a look at the new Supergirl figure from DC.

Why buy porn when you can get it for free on Limewire?

MJ hasn’t been a damsel is distress for quite some time.

I’ve never understood why we need pseudo porn in everything. :\ Sports, comics, video games, everything!
Just.. BUY PORN.
When I play video games, I rly am not thinking or wanting to think about smex. :\ Same as when I read comics.
And yus, I’m a girl, and yus I look at porn XD But it’s kinda like that Seinfeld episode where George mixes sex with TV and food and ends up getting his body all confused XD
I like to keep things seperate

By the way, is there anyone else that thinks that that last blogger quoted in this article is a porn addict? Goes to show why he can’t appreciate this kind of art. He’s used to double-headed dildo action with questionably aged young females earning extra cash. This figurine blue-balls him! Thus why it is all the more NOT that big of a deal.

That’s not true either! I know a couple of comic book fans that have tons of these sexy little figurines and they get booty all of the time. Although, I do agree that half the time, I’m sure people buy scantily clad women figurines to have something to look at that they might never have. Thus why they spend hundreds of dollars on girls that always smile as opposed to icing them with mace.

If only Kirstyn Dunst(?) had looked this hot! If I remember the comics correctly, MJ is a hot model. The figurine is completely in line with the character in the comics. How about all you people that are offended by the doll go out and find a real cause to protest and stop whinning about make-believe. If you’ve got the cash and you want it, buy it! If you don’t, oh well.

OK. I’m pretty sure the getting people pregnant thing is no problem. My good friend who is a HUGE fanof comics, and likely owner of a produckt along these lines, doesn’t get laid. The people buing this dont get laid.

I doubt kids are getting pregnant because Marvel came out with a sexily clad Mary Jane figurine. As I recall, it’s because young girls and boys are having sex without protection due to the fact that they are horny and their parents like to think it’s possible to shelter them forever. You do realize that there are some adult fans of the comic book, right? I think people need to stop getting so worked up over a little skin. If she was really a ’sex slave’ wouldn’t they have her tied up to the bedposts, spread eagle and gagged, waiting for Spiderman to come home? No, she is happily washing clothes and looking flirty. That doesn’t make much sense that this would be an example of the depravity of the ages. If you’re going to have a life, use it to grow up.

Porn and comic books - always been a link. Ask boys to draw a picture and I’d bet on in two of them draws a huge pair of breasts or a penis…

I think it’s kind of rediculous how people can take a good comic and twist it to be surrounded around porn, yet again. I think our whole world is just becoming so discusting that we can’t even enjoy something without making it dirty or pornographic, and all people think about is sex or how sex sells. I’m not a Spiderman fanatic, but I thought MJ was supposed to be like a damsel in destress kind of girl, and Spiderman saves her like everytime, this demonstration makes it look like she is some kind of Spiderman sex slave, and it’s gross! Why does porn have to be everywhere?! I can’t even imagine what our kids are going to play with next, just some smut magizine, or better yet a figurine of a girl who’s boobs pop out of her shirt, wouldn’t that be better?! hell just teach them early at like 4 or so and then they will be getting people pregnant at the age of 12. It’s just sad how our world is becoming so discusting, and this just portrays how sad we really are. Get a life.
