How is it possible that we’re only ten days into the new year and we’ve already found the dumbest idea of 2007? Brace yourself for an idea so bad, it could only come from Stan Lee :

TVGuide.com: I heard you have a POW! project with Ringo Starr. What’s that all about?
Lee: Well, after Mosaic, we have one called The Condor or El Condor that features a Latino superhero, because I felt we have a need for more of those. After that, our next one will be Ringo. I was talking to Ringo the other day, and I said, “You know, I feel it’s my duty to make you more famous.” So it’s my attempt to make Ringo more famous. He’ll kill me when he hears this.

TVGuide.com: You’re going to make a Beatle more famous?
Lee: Sure. The world doesn’t know he’s a great adventurer, who has saved civilization many times. They will learn that when they see our little DVD. He’s going to do the voice and the music.

TVGuide.com: It’s not going to be anything like Caveman, is it?
Lee: No. It’s going to be like that movie out now with the three singing girls….

TVGuide.com: Dreamgirls?
Lee: Yes. This is like a masculine version of Dreamgirls, only it features just one man.

Ringo Starr as a superhero adventurer - slash - “masculine version of Dreamgirls”. This sounds so stupid I’ve gotta see it.
