whenever jk rowling (aka "harvey porter") or the star war or one of these other middle-of-the-road forms of mass entertainment runs afoul of a single cultural norm, i wonder: why now? why realize they're so bad now? why invest yourself in them before? they were always already bad

imagine feeling betrayed by the pokemon or the furby or that ty rascal who made billions off the beanie babies or Dane Cook ... when these are just childish ephemera to cast aside, enjoying only as one enjoys eating from the lip of a garbage can (and I do)

we have totally lost sight of the point of trash culture, which is nothing but trash, something to keep under the mattresses next to the muscle mags and the dirty sweatsock. None of this is real or hyper-real...it's all consumer content designed to amuse perma-children
