Superman II was another financial and critical success, despite stiff competition with Raiders of the Lost Ark in the same year.

Foraire Uladh ar Aodh is an Irish poem by Maol Sheachluinn na n-Uirsgéal Ó hUiginn. Composed in the early fifteenth century, it is an address to Aodh mac Art Mag Aonghusa, Chief of Uí Echach Cobo. It "... apparently became accepted as a masterpiece in the bardic schools, since it was the model for Eochaidh Ó hÉoghusa's more tongue-in-cheek treatment, Bíodh aire ag Ultaibh ar Aodh. Mag Aonghusa controlled the Newry Pass, which played an important part in preventing the forces of the Dublin government entering Ulster to contest the rebels of the province; this made him: > "literally the procective sentinel of the province.

He wrote of that experience, "The original three series were very tongue-in-cheek... Unfortunately, the audience for the book liked the more tongue-in-cheek approach, and by mutual agreement, I left the series after six issues." Indeed, Lyga's willful decision to reject monster attacks out of hand and focus of "realism" led to less-than-successful issues that were never even completed. Despite this, some people wrote in commenting on and requesting stories dealing with current issues in the Catholic Church such as the abuse cases. As a result, Lyga's second series featured Sister Shannon asking herself if she should protect the Church from a man seeking revenge for alleged church involvement with the ratlines.

While writing the album lead singer, Ross Leighton, followed a "found sound" approach to making music where he would record a sound and try and fit it into the song. This is displayed in the opening track "The Rain" which features a sample of an electric radiator. Leighton described the album's lyrical content as "less coded than the records before," describing it as more personal than "Open Book" and its general theme being "a bit more tongue in cheek about how things are affecting me." The first song written for the album was the lead single "Making Waves" which the band considered a safety net and the first jumping point for the sound of the album.

In fact, it had been Lyga's hope to make Holy Man the primary villain of his Areala series had it progressed beyond six issues. (Holy Man's last appearance in fact ended with a sinister hidden camera at the Saint Thomas Church recording Sister Shannon's actions.Warrior Nun Areala #5) The fact that Lyga mentioned attacks on synagogues and mosques perhaps means that had the story continued, the view of various religions in the world of Areala would have continued. Unfortunately for Lyga, the audience for the book liked the more tongue-in-cheek approach of other Areala authors and he left; thus, despite occasional glimpses like him being used as a holographic training program,Warrior Nun Areala: Rituals #1 Holy Man has never been seen again.

The novel received generally positive acclaim, with reviewers praising the novels humour while noting that it is not of the same quality as the previous Starkey novel, Divorcing Jack. Publishers Weekly stated that the novel is "not as tight and focused as Bateman's previous work" and notes that the novel "reflects a distinct political and religious bias, which will surprise readers who appreciated Starkey's earlier, more tongue-in-cheek approach to Northern Ireland sectarianism". They did, however, also state that: "nevertheless, Bateman delivers the kind of humour and sense of the ridiculous that his fans will relish". Kirkus Reviews took a similar stance, stating that the novel is "more relaxed and less wildly funny than Divorcing Jack or Cycle of Violence — but then that's what you'd expect when the brutality is only a game".

Media Life Magazine, January 29, 2001 In the United Kingdom, the Independent Television Commission banned The Jerry Springer Show and other tabloid talk programs from being shown on television during daytime hours on school holidays in response to numerous parental complaints and concerns about children's potential exposure to the salacious content (there was a short-running British version of the show made for ITV called The Springer Show that was lighter and more tongue-in-cheek). The show also topped TV Guide magazine's 2002 list of "The Worst TV Shows Ever"; for a time, the show itself would even frequently boast about this ranking in its opening credits as a form of self-deprecation.Bootie Cosgrove-Mather The Worst TV Shows Ever CBS News, July 12, 2002 In 2003, a British opera inspired by the series, Jerry Springer: The Opera, began playing in the United Kingdom.
