I think my exercise was completely valid in context, Mr. Floodgate. In today's media, please name me more mythical figures than Mr. Olbermann and Mr. O'Reilly? By choosing a side, you are not only putting your politics on display, but giving us a window into your soul. Not to mention helping me with my thesis: “KaPow: How the Archetypes of the Sequential Art and Adolescent Power Fantasies Are Influencing Your Media.” In this context, Mr. Olbermann and Mr. O’Reilly are not merely media figures, not merely men, they are two modern gods battling it out in the skies.
I will confess, however, I am unfamiliar with the Red Herring. Was he Marvel or DC?
