Well Today in the year 2009 I am a very strong believer that we have many a hero in this world to this very moment. But i also believe that the word HERO is stretched pretty far if i do say so myself.
Many people might consider themselves a hero but i think that to be granted the title "HERO" you need to do more then just get a cat out of a tree, help some old lady across a highway, or get some not so smart kid'shead out of his desk. All of those thing's are nice but i do not think that any of those feats could grant you the title hero. As i am very sure though many people would consider themselves a hero for doing those feats. Also i bet people think they are herioc bye stoping a robber from stealing an old ladys purce.
When I think of a hero now and days I think a fire man (who has saved somone's life and did not boast about it) because he just ran/walked into a firery building and saved your life when he could have deemed it too dangerouse and just walked away. on top of that he did not gloat at all wich i think all hero's should not do to a certain extent. Also a great way to become a hero and rememberd is you could be self sacraficeing in many ways like taking a bullet for a person your not being payed to protect, giving your orgons to save a child's (now im not saying go home a cut yourself so that people will remember you).
Todays modern hero I think has lost its value also to what is compared to the times of the old but thats just me. I would rather things be the way they used to be.
EX1: GUITAR HERO= YOUR NOT A REAL HERO!!! GET OVER IT!!!
EX2: Sigurd the dragon slayer= Butt kicking viking who slays a dragon

Pretty cool blog, hate to break it to ya Justin, i'm an irl guitar hero.
You're right, maybe people are strechching the whold hero thing. Firemen are great modern heros. My favorite thing however is your first example of a fake hero. Guitar Hero? More like, Guitar Zero. But it is a fun game
