(Author’s Note – Kippas, or yarmulkes (yes, that is spelled right – I checked), are the little caps Jews wear on their heads, our readers probably call them “Jew Beanies”)
Marvel Comics is suing Kippa Man, a store in Jerusalem with a name that deserves a better story than this, for $25,700 (or 100,149.82 shekels). "What was the offense?" you ask; selling yarmulkes with Spider-Man on them.
Whop-dee-freaking-doo.
In the Kippa Man's defense, he claims that "they were manufactured in China" and that "everyone sells them", both valid legal arguments that should hold up in court.
Bored Now.
Personally, I was hoping for some sort of Kippa Man comic book, ala The Flying Nun, where a super Jew went around fighting anti-Semitism with his HeeBee powers while at the same time always finding a good deal for his friends. Maybe a feel good crossover with New52’s Baz to defend against extremist sects of their own religions, where they have to put aside their…who cares; anything would have been better than some stupid bitch-fest about breaking trademark laws.
And during the holiday season too.

About the Author - GHERU
RU, or as he’s known in the writers’ room: the cute one, is relatively unappreciated in his time. RU’s YouTube show, RUviews is watched by literally multiple people every month and his Outhouse articles have helped line many a bird cage. Before you send RU a message, he knows that there are misspelled words in this article, and probably in this bio he was asked to write. RU wants everyone to know that after 25+ years of collecting he still loves comic books and can’t believe how seriously fanboys take them. RU lives in Akron Ohio (unfortunately) with WIFE, ‘lilRuRu, and the @DogGodThor.
