This enrages me! They're getting pissed about this but not about the money being poured into professional sports and theme parks? This is just disgusting.

This is ridiculous. If anything this helps the economy. This certainly boosts San Diego's economy.

I love how they attack it because its comics. But once its sports or something, then its ok.

Its hypocritical and incorrect at the same time.
