Jim Carrey has said he cannot support the new Kick-Ass film, because of the violence his character commits. Source here: http://www.newsarama.com/18173-jim-carrey-cannot-support-violent-kick-ass-2-millar-responds.html
Fine. All well and good.
Mark Millar’s response?
"Ultimately, this is his decision, but I've never quite bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life."
That is fucking stupid. Not only is he mixing up something fictional with something real he is ascribing intent to Carrey that Carrey doesn’t give. Gaah.

I've come to the conclusion, that Mark Millar is an idiot.
