The Gospel According to Larry: Difference between revisions

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] - an interesting variation: by the time ''Vote for Larry'' was ready for publication, the Democratic party hadn't announced their ticket for the 2004 election. So instead of going after John Kerry, Tashjian inserted a faceless Democrat and decided to attack the Party in general, and [[Bill Clinton]] in particular. Every other instance of a celebrity appearing in the books, however, is done in full with no apologies.

* [[Society Marches On]] / [[Technology Marches On]] - The plot of the first novel is centered around the idea that Josh's well written, enlightening sermons create a massive fanbase and start a pop-culture movement. The original book was published in 2003, making it contemporary with the rise in popularity of blogs and so forth. Despite this, no blogger ever reached anywhere near the success Josh did (who had an entire festival centered around him, which was compared to Woodstock and even had U2 in attendance, and became basically a living prophet in many character's eyes).

* [[The Mole]] - {{spoiler|Tim Hawthorne}} in ''Vote For Larry''.

* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] - possibly Beth, depending on how you view ''Meaning'' 's ending.
