Daleks Vs Dallas 1PM

[mongers]

Almost exactly 50 years since these two events happened, so which do you think has had the greater Cultural influence; I'm not asking about the political or social impact, just the cumulative cultural effect. 

[Eddie Teach]

JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say?

[Syt]

And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see

[mongers]

OK JFK wins in the song lyrics field, what about areas?


edit:
I guess I already knew that, as I posted a song title in the thread title.

Fuck Daleks.  Sleestaks FTW.  Hiss hiss, baby.

[Barrister]

How the hell do you a compare a single incident of international importance, with a piece of ongoing pop culture that only started in 1963?

[CountDeMoney]

Don't pay him any mind; it's only because Mongers has no frame of reference.  If Attlee had been the one that got ventilated, he'd be all Sympathy for the Devil about it.

I shouted out, "Who killed Clement Attlee"
When after all it was you and me

Did you miss the cultural only comment, you know books, films, plays etc.

Point of reference?

A crowded Main street, the scene was set
They check out the view, turn the radio on
Open the case, assemble the gun
Wait at the ready, for the president's run

The world was shocked that fateful day (*)
A young man's life was blown away, away
Dallas, 1 p.m., 1 p.m.

White hot lead, in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net .]
They couldn't believe the president's hit

The shooting's done, assassins run
Is he dead, no one will say
Around the world, the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history
(Repeat *)

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
Tragic history

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.

JFK's death marked the end of an era.  Dr. Who is pretty much a niche product.

[mongers]

If you believe the BBC it's a no holes barred win for Doctor Who; JFK gets a showing of a rather lacklustre Kennedy drama series and over the next couple of days we get wall-to-wall Dr Who, besides it's on special programmes, it's shoe-horned into everything from chatshows to quiz/panel games. 

[crazy canuck]

The question of whether you remember where you were when JFK was shot has become irrelevant for a great many people who were not even alive at the time of the event.  The Dr. is going stronger than ever.  By Monger's measure the Dr. is the clear winner.

[Grinning_Colossus]

JFK, tho after most of the Boomers die it will be Dr. Who.

[Sheilbh]

JFK, tho after most of the Boomers die it will be Dr. Who.

Maybe once the Boomers go we'll get some interesting cultural stuff about Kennedy. Instead of the Kennedys () and JFK, which is at least entertaining and well done.

Yeah, it's not an especially good choice. 

I'm trying to find/remember the name of the Oswald film/tv series that made him largely explicable.
