[edit] John Edwards?

how the bloody hell is this relevant?: Before becoming a Senator, John Edwards was reputed to have made such an argument in one of his most famous tort cases, representing the family of a girl who had been killed by a defective pool drain. --Ryan Heuser 22:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

It was a well-known case and a clear example of the use of prosopopoeia as a rhetorical device - if I recall correctly, Edwards specifically told the jurors that the deceased was speaking to them through him (and not in the psychic sense). bd2412 T 00:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reality Game.

Is the swedish reality game really relevant. It doesn't have an article of its own, but that can be remedied. I just don't think it meets the notability criteria. It seems like it is just an advertisement to me; an excuse to link to their website.--66.102.196.40 (talk) 16:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I would tend to agree. Is there any good reason to keep it up there? Does it help explain prosopopoeia in any important way? --Ahatcher (talk) 02:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
