Isn't, in fact, the pop culture idea of a character then entirety of that character? I mean, sure, Adam West's Batman is campy, silly, and outdated, but it's still a true part of the character. And the woman in the interview sure seemed to have a better connection with WW than just "it's neat the way she spins to change clothes, I wish I could do that"...

Definitely agreed there. Yeah, the IDEA of the interview was a lot better than the actual interview. Definitely agreed there.

"What's your favorite thing about WW?" "Oh you know, generic stuff that makes it clear that I actually know little to nothing about her. I'm just versed in the pop culture idea of WW." "Why do you think you're a good fit for her?" "I have dark hair and tits!" Lemme guess:

The cover was a talking point, I suppose, and I assume there are a number of comicbook fans who would take comfort from the idea that a Playboy model might share some of their interests. But, still... Did the interview have to be so friggin' sycophantic? I understand why George would kiss Tiffany's ass so much, after all, who amongst us wouldn't? But his attitude towards Playboy magazine itself was a little much. The way he went on, you'd think that Hugh Hefner was responsible for a groundbreaking medical discovery. He's not. He's just a seedy, little perv. Yeah, I guess.
