The 'SPIDER MAN' -IA Boys!!!

It could very well become a global phenomenon - this Spider Man - ia! Atleast all the kids(the male species) I've met seem to be crazy about this Super Hero.

Peter Parker and his mysterious webs and his ability to fight off the evil-est of the villains have captivated minds. He's a definite competition to the other super heroes Batman and Superman. You don't see kids,boys or men as crazy about the other two now-adays. Maybe it's got something to do with the web creating techniques or impressing the women techniques which are different with this hero. Or maybe its the Macho Spidey's Power thrills and his powerful dialogues thrown in to impress - "With great power comes great Responsibilities"! Whatever it is, he has managed to thrill the men-folk - young and old alike. (3yrs to 90yrs?)

If you are young then you can still afford to sport a spiderman tee or squirt webs all over your friends with the web shooter. If you are old you can still play the Spiderman games online in secret or own the Spiderman game series, DVDs and the gear. Most boys would also have the spiderman outfit.

After a lot of talk about the boys - it really makes me wonder why the girls are not really obsessed with this Super hero. It's just a matter of the genetic make up maybe - girls loves Barbies and boys love Cars and Spiderman! That's a dialog I recently heard from a three year old! What logic and some excellent philosophy...

If you'd like to realise the impact of the phenomenon simply look around and observe what the kids around you admire the most! It's The Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman all the way...
