Last Sepetember one of my favorite topics on the podcast was about how the Venezuala President is blaming Spider-Man for violence in his country. President Nicolas Maduro says the violence in the movie is encouraging kids to go out and beat up Lizards and do other crimes. Check out the video. I can’t understand it, but you can see him “Thwipping” in the video. Now the president is blaming soap operas for teaching “Anti-values” to the younger generation.
