Jerry at Red Wheelbarrow (who, I note, has me listed in his blogroll under "People, Politics, Madness" -- not sure I want to know which one I am) has come up with a few snappy retorts for annoying pretentious anti-pop-culture wannabes.
And he's come up with a "Guilty Pleasure Meme", wherein you bold the items in a list of cultural detritus of which you covertly partake, and then add one more of your own. What the heck -- I'm game:
1. Melrose Place
2. Who Wants to Marry my Dad?
3. The O.C.
4. Backstreet Boys
5. John Tesh
6. Joe Millionaire
7. Friends (only the first five seasons)
and, my adddition
8. Teletubbies
Yeeeeaah, that's right -- I used to watch the Teletubbies. 'Twas during a period of eight months after I quit my first corporate gig to go back to school. All my classes were evening classes, so I used to stay up all night and then sleep until 3 or so in the afternoon. Then I'd enjoy the brain-damaged hijinks of Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, LaLa, and Po over my "morning" cup of java.
(Ah, those were good times...)
So, anyone else want to take a crack at it? I dare ya!
