What's Stranger Than Fiction? Would Rumsfeld Publishing Comic Books Qualify?

Majikthise brings us this:

US Army is looking for a few good graphic novelists:
    The US military is planning to win the hearts of young people in the Middle East by publishing a new comic.

    An advertisement on the US government's Federal Business Opportunities website is inviting applications for someone to develop an "original comic book series". [BBC]
Set in the Middle East in the "near future," the series will chronicle the endearing escapades of the US security forces in the region.
BTW, Majikthise also has a pretty bang-up definition of pornography related to discussion of the new movie I won't see "Sin City".

As for why I won't see the film - I don't like comics, or comics made into movies, or anything with Jessica Alba who acting range runs the vast difference between her left enhanced boob and her right enhanced boob.

But also I noticed that in discussions of "Sin City", an inordinate amount of time is spent discussing how special Alba's sandal/boots that end up around her neck are; footwear is rarely a factor in choice of films for me.
