Meta-Note

July 20th, 2012
Author Graeme McMillan

And that’s the danger of writing and posting blog posts ahead of time; posts about the Punisher end up going live on a morning when we’re all waking up to the news that twelve have been killed in an Aurora, Colorado shooting during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises. My sincere apologies to anyone offended by the coincidence, and the original image of the gun-toting, skull-faced Castle (now removed), which seemed in poor taste in light of everything that’s happened. It’s possible that I’m being too sensitive and no-one other than me was bothered, in which case… Sorry for breaking into the regularly scheduled programming, I guess? I just woke up, saw the news and immediately felt sick to my stomach about the post, so wanted to (over-)explain and remove the image. My thoughts go out to those affected by this tragedy, as I’m sure everyone else’s do.

    I applaud your sensitivity. We are likely to hear a lot of debate trying to connect the film with the tragedy, and I suspect sensitivity will be in short supply. So it’s good that someone shows restraint and concern. Thanks.
