This target made for interesting criticism in light of the fact that Princess Diana would have been a non-entity without the British royal family, whose trust and popularity she had abused and usurped.

Ultimately, through the cluster-bombed pop culture allusions, Gomez is able to describe a host of different events accurately while connecting to his target audience.

Colds are caused by hundreds of different viruses from several major viral families, virtually ruling out the possibility of a single, one-shot-stops-all vaccine. Treatment is further complicated because the disease is a moving target. Rhinoviruses, which account for about 40% of all colds, attack mainly in the fall and spring; other cold-causing microbes, such as the respiratory syncytial viruses, tend to strike in the dead of winter...
