Last week, the League of Extraordinary Bloggers was asked “Why?”, and the variety of responses just brings a smile to my face…
- Why is this toilet in the middle of the lawn? and Why me Lord?
- Why is she my best girl?
- Why the hell haven’t they made War of the Gargantuas figures yet?
- Why all the hate for Jar-Jar?
- Why did I sleep in on Free Comic Book Day?
- Why did Spider-Man already get rebooted?
- Why this, not that?
- Why did Screaming Yellow Zonkers make their own version of the Galaxy Laser Team Lobstrosity?
- Why did I fall out of love with the things that used to mean the world to me?
- Why don’t these villains just finish the job already and get on with their master plans?
- Why COPE?
- Why, of all things, a She-Ra fanfic?
- Why does Batman get a Father’s Day card?
- Why do I still collect toys and read comics?
- Why not be a toy collector?
- Why do toy makers think little girls are obsessed with poop?
- Why isn’t everyone a geek?
- Why am I called a racist?
The League wants to know! What were some of your favorites articles or moments from this week’s responses? Add a comment below to show your appreciation.
NOTE: Due to Memorial Day holiday shortening the week by a day (and I have a lot of Arrested Development to binge watch), the League will be taking a break this week. Store up the creative energy for our triumphant return next week!

There were a lot of amazing responses this week, but my fav is Kevin’s response http://teamhellions.com/2013/05/26/the-league-asks-why/
He really gives you a topic to think about.
Hey Brian, I don’t know if this is a breach of protocol but I had an idea for a league assignment, if anyone is up for it. I was thinking bring it back! what is one product/media series/ or the like that you would like to see come back into the market, and how would you imagine it being different today. (a rebooted Space 1999, the reintroduction of crystal pepsi? the options are limitless!)
No breach at all! Ideas for the League are always encouraged, and this is a great one! (Plus it saves me from having to think of an idea this weekend!) Check back on Monday. 😉
