Ben is the Number One Threat to Motor Vehicles since 2008.

Now, I may not follow comics, but I did love the '90s animated Spider-Man. And I think the rivalry between Jameson and Spidey (as well as Jameson and Peter) was handled well there. They revealed that Jameson had problems with Spidey because he'd lost his family to masked gunmen, and he associated anyone with a mask with a criminal with something to hide. Yeah, this was revealed later on, but you saw enough redeeming moments out of him. I especially remember the time Peter was arrested, and Jameson anonymously hired Daredevil to be his attorney. Peter had no idea who paid for this incredibly good and incredibly expensive lawyer, and Jameson was quick to deny to Robbie that he did it out of any kind of affection toward his photographer. Some kind of redeeming moment like that might well get me to understand Harangue better, but like I said, the fact that he pretty much held a gun to the head of a helpless sixteen-year-old makes him pretty much an asshole of the highest caliber.

And throughout the entire Gwen vs. Kevin on the car issue, I couldn't help but think of Summer and Dillon:

"How is driving my car into a tornado the right thing to do?"
"Probably because she didn't take my car."
"Or mine. Definitely the right choice!"
