Texas Law Hawk Defeats COVID In Anime-Inspired Throwdown

Who needs the big screen when we're getting content like this?

Every day, Texas reports more new COVID infections than any other state — almost double the number of number two Florida yesterday. How can this happen? Is it just the state’s feckless leadership and self-destructive commitment to a concept of “freedom” that cherishes going to Wal-Mart without a mask over comprehensive criminal justice reform? Yes, actually, that’s exactly what it is.

So where the governor has failed, the state’s true beacon of moral leadership has to step up. Of course we’re talking about Bryan Wilson: The Texas Law Hawk.

In a spot that might feature the first anthropomorphic portrayal of the novel coronavirus ever, Wilson engages in an anime battle of maximum camp before being saved by the power of his mask. You had me at “punching COVID in the groin.”

“Mask Up and Move On” deserves to be the slogan for America’s public health moment. It’s almost as if instead of spending $300 million for Dennis Quaid to tell us that we should be happier about COVID, we could’ve given that to the Texas Law Hawk and had a much better return on the investment.
