We need new Pop Culture

Feb 17, 2007 23:01

I went to the gym tonight. I got on the treadmill to warm up these creaky limbs of mine and I happened to glance up at one of the TV screens. As usual, CNN was on. What do I see? More crap about Anna Nicole Smith. Luckily the sound was off. Seriously, this is a joke. I keep seeing announcements about her on major network news shows --only at the gym, because I gave up on watching major networks for news ages ago.

I've always been interested in pop culture. I've always turned up my nose at people that think having a TV melts your mind or something. I've never been above checking out a gossip rag at the supermarket or when it's lying around at the gym. This study *smirk* has caused me to observe that our pop culture has increasing turned into our real culture. And our real culture has increasingly turned into a cesspool. I have always thought that pop culture reflected our society. Therefore, I think we are in real trouble.
