30 Rock Scorches Marvel


Uh-oh. Judah Friedlander dropped a perfectly good copy of AVENGERS ACADEMY 8 in a deep fat fryer during March 18th's episode of 30 Rock on NBC. Oh, it's on now!
Fellas, I got your backs. I see one of them on the street out here, I'll accost them and call them tallow lovers or theater hams and make them cry.

Quoted from Ethan Sacks, reporting at NY Daily News:

The writers and producers of NBC's "30 Rock" are as big villains as the Green Goblin and Dr. Doom in the offices of Marvel Comics.

On the March 17 episode of the hit sitcom, Frank Rossitano, played by Judah Friedlander, drops a near mint copy of a comic book into a deep fryer to prove his love to his former teacher (Susan Sarandon). It was comedy gold, unless you're a comic book geek, in which case it's a Sacriligous desecration.

So in response Marvel has retaliated with an open letter to NBC on the publisher of Spider-Man and Captain America's Web site.

"We're not demanding anyone be fired over this, but this is such a gross error on the part of the writers of 30 Rock that we can not stand idly by," Joe Quesada, Marvel's Chief Creative Officer, deadpanned to the News.
