We warned you here yesterday: the party’s over in Bangkok. If you’re one of those decadent people who travel the world going from coup to coup looking for laughs, cross Thailand off your list. The country’s new military rulers have said go-go dancers and other entertainers who are posing with tanks and entertaining the troops were no longer welcome.
Okay. Probably a bad time for four actors dressed as Japanese superheroes to arive promoting an action-hero show movie opening next month.

So, they’re not super superheroes, like Superman. They’re kinda-superheroes like Batman. Otherways, the’d freeze the cop (like the Silver Surfer) or fly away (like Johnny Torch) or run away so fast they couldn’t see (like the Flash). Nah, they’re more like Dick Tracy heroes or something.
