Captain America-Dead

While I don't follow comic books like I did 20 years ago, I was surprised about the amount of ink/TV time spent on the death of Captain America and what this meant for US society. Even the New York Times weighed in with coverage in the A section. Granted it didn't get as much coverage as Britney shaving her head....but, after all, there's a war on and the media must focus on the truely important stories of the day. But as is often the case, the Onion was spot on with its coverage.
