Remember kids, replace your flashlight batteries often! It\'s the only safe way to be! Ha ha ha!

Please tell me that comic\'s a joke.

I\'m sorry. I\'ll explain a few things..

Yes, it\'s a joke. Supreme (during Alan Moore\'s fantastic run) is partly a pastiche of 1960\'s comic books. Wacky plots, "Superman is a dick" style covers, and retarded public service announcements.

If you read comics or have any knowledge of their history, this is pretty funny. Otherwise, I can understand the groaning. Heh.

That "ad" was made in, like, 1997 or 1998.

It\'s most likely:

*spin handle furiously and have 20 minutes of light*

Sort of thing.

Unicron: Weeeeeell, there aren\'t anymore stand-alones that I know of.. but..

The two trade paperbacks of Alan Moore\'s Supreme run are really good and have a lot of these nostalgic throwbacks.

There are some you shake for like 10 seconds and you have like 20 minutes of battery life.

If I shake my penis for 2 minutes inside of a vagina, it will create 60-70 years of life.

It\'s a russian flashlight with a handle that you open and close like the handle of a pair of scissors.  The handle powers a little generator.  It\'s hard to explain.

patience, young padawan...in time you will rise to the rank of "dosminutos master", and have young padawans of your own. (don\'t molest them like sammy did, or I can\'t keep promoting you pervs...)
