Wonder Woman is about to receive an honor very few actual human beings have received, much less fictional characters! In honor of her 75th anniversary, the United Nations will hold a ceremony at its New York City headquarters on October 21, to declare it Wonder Woman Day and among those in attendance will be the real woman who helped beam the hero’s comic book exploits into millions of homes, Lynda Carter.

The role remains Carter’s main claim to fame, but she has worked steadily since, both in live action acting, voice acting for countless animated and video game projects and as a touring singer. The entire time, Carter, a former Miss World USA– who doesn’t appear to have aged more than a year since leaving the role– has continued to embrace the character, that for which she stands and of course, the still devoted fanbase.

Expect lots of additional celebrations and merchandise in honor of the character’s 75th anniversary. The US Postal Service is issuing a set of commemorative stamps and, of course, in June Gal Gadot assumes the role in the live-action solo movie.

How moronic and fitting.

The journalists at CBS This Morning on Friday promoted a petition by “concerned” United Nations staffers against the honoring of Wonder Woman, a “large-breasted white woman” who wears an “American flag motif.” The fictional DC comics character is being hailed as an “Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls.”
