No I’m not talking about that classic seventies Saturday morning kids show (okay maybe not so classic), I’m talking about how so many people on line are obssessed by Dr. Manhattan’s CGI’d equipment.  What amazes me is that with Judd Apatow flashing real ones left and right in his films and with all the other more thought provoking concepts and images in Watchmen, this is the thing everybody latches on to.  Why?  What’s so fascinating about a fake, blue penis? Really, what is so interesting about it?  Is it because it’s animated and people aren’t used to seeing a cartoon penis in a film (outside of adult films of course)?  Whatever the case, to quote Dr. Phil, “Build a bridge and get over it!”
