I felt the same way when I got mentioned in a Beyonce song…“Becky with the good hair”! Then I looked up Becky in the urban dictionary. Just my luck!  
(I don’t where to put the accent mark in Beyonces name)

The idea’s been used in science fiction for ages – have a look at Arthur C. Clarke’s _Watch this Space_ or Isaac Asimov’s _Buy Jupiter_, or the suggestions in Robert Heinlein’s _The Man who Sold the Moon_. That’s the Big Three of science fiction right there.

No direct mention of you, though, TSFR. Sorry about that.
