Wonder twins Zan (David Gallagher) and Jayna (Allison Scagliotti) tweet, facebook and blog--all on behalf of their superhero idol, the Blur. Just one slight catch: crediting one\'s idol with botched crime fighting efforts generally destroys his reputation, rather than fueling his legend. Let me paint you a picture. Would you prefer undercover cops trussed up like turkeys? A blown power grid? A darkened Metropolis? Perhaps imitation is not always the best form of flattery after all.');
