What you are demonstrating is that already in 2003, people talking to each other during their commute was a fantasy rather than an actual occurrence.

Do you think the airborne drops of Operation Overlord were a fantasy because someone made a television (mini-)series on them (i.e., Band of Brothers)?

Certainly I would not take the television series as proof that they happened with regularity or in the way depicted.

You have simply gone in the other direction: taking the television series as proof something did not happen, that it was "fantasy".
