The Ewok Menace

The sickos at Something Awful have a fascinating essay up about Ewoks. Apparently, they are not the cuddly little intergalactic Care Bears we thought they were:

While ewoks are often mawkishly portrayed on film as cute, curious little urchins that live in tree houses and coo adorably, the reality of wild ewoks is an entirely different story. I live near the redwood forests of Northern California, so I’ve been around ewoks all my life; every hike, picnic, or camping trip I’ve ever been on has been marred by their unwelcome presence.
It just gets better from there.

Incidentally, their most recent Photoshop Phriday of doctored comic book covers is great, too. My favorite is the one about the Indians. Which one's your fave?
