Most of you Internet veterans out there are already familiar with the phenomenon of real-life superheroes. Oddee featured ten real-life superheroes back in 2007, Rolling Stone had an excellent article about the subject this past winter, and the World Superhero Registry is a well-traveled destination for those needing to know more about local vigilantes.
However, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a real-life superhero (NOTE: hero may not be super) featured on television, and… hoo boy. This is either a news report about Cincinnati’s “Shadow Hare” and his team of tubby friends or a pilot for a sitcom. Seriously, if you asked Michael Schur of “The Office” to make a news report about real-life superheroes, you would get this. Check out the look the sheriff gives the camera at about the 1:50 mark. This video needs to go straight to the Newseum in Washington, D.C.

No way that’s real. Italian Spiderman is not a sidekick. Pussycat.
“We will intervene and stop crimes … if we see them happening in front of us.”
Well, we wouldn’t want a superhero to seek out and stop crime, now would we? God, it’s like these people don’t even care about exacting vigilante justice on the criminal underworld. And in Cincinnati, no less!
1. What is it about virgins in capes and mexican wrestling masks that gives me a femboner?
2. I find it difficult to believe that such a socially well-adjusted physical specimen such as he was the product of the American foster care system.
3. This video will serve as a touching requiem after he’s gutted by a meth addict while trying to prevent a cough syrup theft
finally something that can strike fear into the Bengals.
My friend Brandon just sent me this link
[www.myspace.com]
This guy is a “Paranormal Investigator and Masked Adventurer extrodinaire”
What I find extraordinary is that he’s apparently married.
I like the smiley face after his “interests” list, it adds a level of whimsy to his studies of the occult
I am going to start committing crimes in Cincinnati, just so I can tell a story about that one time I forced a super hero into giving me a hand job.
I will be his arch enemy called “TheRapist” Therapist by day, rapist by night(Thanks SNL when you were funny)
A million points for that homeless guy who says this when he see’s the “Super Heros”
“What the hell is this? It aint Easter yet” at around the 2 min mark
That is amazing.
I like the guys in the bright yellow pants. i think he’s caleed ‘Saggy Ass”.
That kid must be George Michael Bluth.
