I once had a student write a paper about the tragedy of young "heroine addicts."

Folks who can't get enough of Wonder Woman TV?

Jane Austen books, actually, TRP. It's a crying freaking shame... girls in tweedy skirts, trying to trade moments of witty banter with anyone willing to front them $4.95 for their next paperback fix.

Actually, Joe, TRP is right. In my youth every time I jumped off the swing set it was while pretending to be Wonder Woman. It's amazing I was never injured.
