The point isn't that it was cool that it was a horoscope; it's that JMS has
somehow snuck into mainstream pop culture like that. It's like, imagine if
all of a sudden the cast of B5 was on the cover of People magazine. It
wouldn't make the periodical itself any less of a fish wrapper; it speaks
to
the accessibility of the thing (or person, in this case) being featured.

Seriously, did you not get that point or were you just being persnickety?

Well, if you want to be *serious* about it, a jms birthday reminder in a
horoscope doesn't mean much. Whoever put it there may not have any idea
who jms is, or give a damn whether the readers know who it is. Maybe they
lost a bet. Maybe they are rabid B5 fans. Who knows? There's nothing there
to draw any meaningful conclusion.

But where's the fun in being serious?

Now, if jms were to appear on the Tonight Show... :-) <<

Or how about as the center square in Hollywood Squares...? :-)
