Why? I don't see what the point of popular culture might be. All these members of the hoi polloi on here seem to agree that Canadian TV/ pop culture is crap. But it's crap everywhere and they're all too indoctrinated by UK TV/ pop culture to even notice.

No, I rarely get tired of anything. Except pop culture and trolls.

Oh, and it's not an affectation, I really am a prick.

I think it's perfectly valid to make a distinction between celebs and sportsmen, if you are careful about it. It is tricky ground, I'll admit that, but the divide is there, for me at least.

I'll change my avatar to Albert Einstein with his tongue stuck out if you like.
