This might just be the strangest, most peculiar match-up of the whole tournament.... In one corner we have the mighty Geats, the anglo-saxon army, and in the other, we have one of the most famous examples of satire, the infanticide-promoting A Modest Proposal. Well, how should I compare thee? Certainly not to a summer's day. While I do believe that A Modest Proposal would win in a battle of wits, in a test of shear cleverness, that the Geats wouldn't even be able to spell their own name, it is an entire army trying to fight one, well-spoken man. Unless the speaker could convince the Geats that eating their children would be the best way to combat their problems.... Which is entirely possible, but remains unlikely, they were anglo-saxons not cannibalistic neanderthals. And the Geats didn't even speak the same language as the speaker, so persuasive powers mean nothing if you can't be understood so....The winner is....
THE GEATS
I was rooting for the projector of A Modest Proposal, but lets be as realistic as possible (if thats even achievable?), if he was transported to the homeland of the Geats, he would be slaughtered by the war-like nation before he even had a chance to suggest that eating children was a viable option for overpopulation problems.
