QotD: Culture

Increasingly I find myself more concerned about culture than politics. 8-year-old girls in PORN STAR t-shirts, singing along to raunchy rap on the car radio. Kids (and not a few adults) tethered to PS2 for hours on end. Non-stop remakes of 70s movies instead of making original films — an increasingly self-referential pop culture that quotes itself incestuously. ('High' culture does it too). People who drive one block to the 7-11. The fact that Hugh Hefner STILL isn't dead.
