Heroes

We broadcast today from the Hall of the Heroes. Our studio audience of everyday heroes is on hand to eagerly celebrate superhuman physical strength, people who have prevailed against insuperable odds, or those who went down fighting to the end. Our white-gloved researchers have placed the names of quite a number of champions, conquerors, and lion-hearts - into the special Round the World Top Hat of the Titans, from which we select at random.
