Contest

I would like to announce a contest that will be coming up in the month of November on my blog. Here's the gist of it.

Think of the twenty most famous and influential people who never lived. You will need to come up with the names of fictional characters who have shaped American/Western culture. These characters may not have been in books. They may be non existent in other media. On November 15th, send me your list. The person with the most correct answers will win.

It may be just too late in the day or I am just a moron and I don't get it. Do you mean someone like

The Green Giant or

Smokey Bear?

To clarify: Characters of fiction, myth, legends, television and movies who have shaped society, changed our behavior or set the course of history. I am asking you to determine the most influential. Yes, Smokey Bear is on the list. I give it to you as a freebie!
