REAL OR HYPER-REAL?

There is an interesting bit on page A2 of today's Globe and Mail newspaper...

Scary stuff!

Reading a piece like this makes you feel good all over if you come out of it having known all along that Charles Dickens was a real guy. A writer of some repute, I think.

I thought that Britney Spears and Simon Cowell were fictitious characters. (I was hoping they were fictitious characters -- a big difference.)
