Fiske and referencing life to a scene from a movie

This article from a Daily Telegraph blog considers how and why we make comparisons between real life events as portrayed in news broadcasting and imaginary events portrayed in film special effects.

Does this challenge or re-inforce how we have interpreted John Fiske's theory about referencing a car-chase through intertextuality?

Read the comments left by readers. How do you react to them? Are they right to feel offended? does Fiske's theory apply to individuals or to large groups of people?
