I'm not sure I quite understand why a parent would give their kid both the first and last names of some famous or historical figure. You know, like James Dean Bradfield, or Martin Luther King. Or, if your memory goes that far back, John Wayne Bobbit. It seems a bit dodgy to turn someone's name into a blatant cultural reference like that.
(My dad's full name is William Gladstone West. Now you know everything.)
Anyway, the AV Club posted this list of fictional political campaigns the other day. You can look at it and see how many cartoon characters have run for president.
Only after reading it did I realise that we have a cultural reference at the head of the UK government: James Gordon Brown.
I leave it to you to decide who or what he summons by shining a spotlight into the sky...
