The United Nations: Squandering the World's Resources in Ever Inventive Ways

From WorldNetDaily...

Tens of thousands of children in public schools across America soon could be getting a free comic book, one that extols the virtues of the United Nations and its agenda through the words of a kids' hero, Spider-Man....

"These comics, featuring favorite Marvel characters such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, will … tell the story of how the United Nations fights the challenges of poverty, disease, and conflict worldwide," the U.N. announcement said....

The U.N. project forecasts the free distribution of the comic books "to over 1,000,000 children throughout the United States," with eventual plans to have them translated and distributed overseas.

Need to feed millions of starving children in Africa, why obviously the solution is to buy comic books for spoiled rich kids in the United States.

The United Nations is determined to live up to their well earned reputation as a corrupt, useless anachronism.

Here's the Freudian slip...

Kiyo Akasaka, a U.N. communications and public information executive, told U.N. Radio that the work "will make the United Nations more acceptable, more accessible, I'm sorry, to the young people."

It's a PR stunt, and the guy forgot to pretend it wasn't.
