Very cool story and interpretation of it.

Love the biblical imagination at work. I'm currently reading Recovering the Lost Art of Reading by Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes, and they've defined literature as, "a concrete, interpretive presentation of human experience in an artistic form."

With this definition, would you say Makeover Madness is...literature?

(only half-playing here, but a fun question nonetheless!)

Eeek. I don't want to say *literature* but it is an interesting cultural "artifact." It certainly tells us a lot!
