Racist Irvine Apartment Flyer Is a Fake

Image
A racist flyer that made waves on social media today after a resident of an Irvine, Ca. apartment building found it hanging in an elevator is fraudulent, according to a spokesman for property company Equity Residential . “This flyer is a fake. It wasn’t produced by us. It wasn’t posted by us. I don’t know where it came from,” Equity representative Marty McKenna said over the phone this morning. The flyer—a notice about noise complaints in Irvine’s Toscana apartment complex—included a bolded section directed specifically at African-American residents. It read: We also would like to remind our African-American residents to keep conversation volume down and reduce music levels between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Multiple complaints have been made regarding this issue.

A Brief History of The Defenders in the Marvel Universe : The Defenders first appeared in the comic book Marvel Feature #1  (December 1971) and were created by Roy Thomas and Ross Andru What set the Defenders apart from other the super teams that came before was that they had no charter or by-laws, no permanent headquarters, no fixed roster, and little affection for each other. The first Defenders team was formed by Doctor Strange when Yardoth, a Yannian (an alien humanoid race ) scientist, threatened Earth with the Omegatron doomsday device . Dr. Strange persuaded a reluctant Hulk and Namor, who had both helped him defeat the extra-dimensional, demonic beings called the Undying Ones, to help him thwart Yandroth’s scheme.    After the defeat of Yandroth, Hulk and Namor vowed never to work together again, but Strange managed to hold this informal allianc...

What do a man without fear, an alcoholic P.I., a bulletproof ex-convict and a living weapon all have in common? The urge to defend, of course. That's right, guys. This event has literally been years in the making, but fans of Marvel's Netflix shows can finally watch Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage and Iron Fist unite in the first season of The Defenders. While you're all casually watching the biggest TV event of the year, we mustered up zen levels of concentration to unpick every # Marvel easter egg , comic book reference and link with the #MCU to be found in The Defenders . Join us as we break down all eight episodes of Season 1 in microscopic detail. Episode 1 — 'The H Word' — While the title obviously refers to the word 'hero', something which The Defenders themselves are keen to avoid, The H Word also happens to be the title of a book by author Perry Anderson which explores the political theory of hegemony (leadership). We doubt it's a coi...
