American Idol - arguably, the closest thing to fascism that currently exists in our culture. The people "feel like" they have a say. But at the end of the day, they're just coronating the next music robot that will one day plunder the orifices of the marginalized classes with their 3 pronged "music probes." That's fascism, right?
Pop culture is everywhere, in fact, it's in your kitchen right now, eating all the yogurt. The problem is, the term "culture" is so generously used by too many people who have no idea how to define it. Much like irony, and Bjork. So, I'm hoping to kill that trend by defining the seemingly boundless scope of popular culture with a flair usually reserved for gay magicians. More Flair than Ric, mofos! I'll be adding at least one definition per night. There are worse ways to waste your time. Enjoy!
