No rainbow bridge for these guys: Racists to boycott Thor movie

It'd be funny if it wasn't so hateful: The Council of Conservative Citizens has planned a boycott of Marvel's Thor movie. Why? Because the great actor Idris Elba, who played Stringer Bell on best show ever "The Wire," has been cast as Thor's fellow god Heimdall. And Elba happens to be black.

The CCC says:

It seems that Marvel Studios believes that white people should have nothing that is unique to themselves. An upcoming movie, based on the comic book Thor, will give Norse mythology an insulting multi-cultural make-over.

Hard to believe there are still folks around who see the world in such terms. And sad. But it makes me want to see Thor all the more, and movie adaptations of comics usually fill me with dread (but not for the same reasons as these loons).
