Pop Culture Run Amok

I found out this past weekend that my mom has watched, of her own volition, Flavor of Love AND Rock of Love.

I thought it would take a lot more than something as trivial as celebreality television to crack my foundation; in one off the cuff remark by my mom after a family dinner Saturday night, I think my world was rocked. I'm talking an off-the-Richter-scale realization that my parents have cable and could possibly watching the same crap television that I secretly watch at 2am when I can't sleep. I'm still feeling the aftershocks!

I mean, this is akin to finding out one of my parents dabbled in drugs or had an illegitimate child!

Ok, maybe that's a little dramatic. But when my 54 year old mother could name all of the Flavor of Rock of Love Part 34323 girls, I was aghast.

I still am.

What has this world come to.
