I can’t even tell if various pop culture items are good or bad anymore. Examples:

  • Brat Pack meets Cold War paranoia classic Red Dawn:
    -American Idol (Although I am pretty sure I irrationally hate David Archuleta now)
    -American Idol conspiracy theories
    -This Alan Parsons Project video:
    -Girlicious
    -The episode of Law & Order: SVU from the other night where after two murders have already been solved, Elliot Stabler’s pregnant wife gets Claire Kincaided, but then it’s okay! Because Jayne Mansfield’s daughter saves her! And then firemen pull her out with the jaws of life! And then she delivers the baby in the ambulance! But then it seems like she might die! But she doesn’t!

I’m hoping it’s just because I’m more receptive to televisual manipulation when I’m sick.
