He exaggerates for satirical effect, just as I exaggerated Ed Sullivan's
importance for satirical effect. In the real world, it is likely that *no*
major media figure is actually a Demon Prince. :-)

A simpler approach, of course, is simply to take whatever real-life
figure you and your gaming group disapproves of the most, pronounce
them Nybbas In Disguise, and proceed to roleplay a session of
righteously killing said real-life figure. C'mon, it's not rocket
science. :-)

I came up with Ed Sullivan, though, since it is unlikely any players
will have significant strong feelings one way or the other about him.
Roleplaying the smiting of your real-life ideological foes can get
kind of creepy even when you all agree on the villain--and it is
VERY VERY creepy if your group is RPing the smiting
of "wicked villains" you happen to admire, approve of, or
worse yet be a member of...
