Yeah, the hero gets laid then lobotomized. Sounds about right.


Actually it is the anti-hero, the scourge of modern literatu

If you are looking for real heroes read any of the fine literary works of
Ayn Rand (such as Atlas Shrugged) or watch movies with real heroes such as
"Rocky".

Hope you enjoyed the present, including the symbolism and subtlety as I
picked it especially for you!
