It's about all that's on my IPod Shuffle--great for power walking, and for shakin' it while vacuuming. I LOVE 80′s music–totally my fave.

(Plus, I love flipping through magazines). I check in daily with Msn. com, US Weekly, People, Perez Hilton, and TMZ. I like it because it's light, quick, and I'm a glutton for celeb gossip. Not up on the Super Bowl commercials--didn't turn on the game at all. Will have to visit YouTube!

I liked the one with the dog collar, the casual Friday, and I thought the Dave Letterman, Oprah, Leno one was funny in a bizarre way. But I had to explain it to my really-un-popcultured sister. me too, Dee.

I did not like casual Friday. Hated the whiny, disgruntled men commercials, like the Dodge one. Some were okay, but not many were memorable for me.

I very rarely turn on my television and when I do it's to watch what I have recorded on my DVR. Hardly ever to I watch the commercials or catch an episode of entertainment tonight. I get magazines and I thumb through them, but they are not exactly er...pop culture worthy. I get the newspaper but half the time they end up in the recycle bin unopened. However when I open up the laptop and my little yahoo messenger pops up with the latest news... and magically I know what's going on. Who can't be tempted to click on a link of juicy gossip? I admit I click on pretty much any article related to a break up, why hollywood breakups and make ups are so fascinating I have no idea. I also have to say thanks to Facebook and twitter for keeping me apraised of what's going on in the world. Just by following the feeds I know which famous person has died, or what movie is the super duper and which is a unworthy of my attention. Also I think search engines have made it so easy to keep up with the news...I'd be lost without - Igoogle that lets you customize your desktop with the news and widgets that are important to you. I'd be totally clueless of pop culture, heck any culture if it were not for the internet. Internet has increased my pop culture awareness.

Nothing really grabbed me. Although I smiled several times. Casual Friday's being one of them... but still...surely there's more out there than the GO Daddy commercials?

It's a way to catch up easily and without data overload. I can go to itunes --and sample the top ten songs and performers. I can get NYT headlines to keep up with the news. I can google anything that isn't familiar. But of course if in doubt I go to my failsafe pop culture catch up -- The View :) For me, increased I think.
