Mock Pop Culture {Ficlet Challenge}

My first challenge!

This is my 100th Ficlet (actually 110, but 10 are in draft form), so I decided to fall prey to peer pressure with the obligatory 100th Ficlet: Issue a Challenge rule/tradition.

I love Pop Culture, studying its effects and mocking it for fun.

Here are some things you could mock, either by making fun of a specific one, or by creating one that spoofs the entire group:

1. Actors/actresses
2. You Tube
3. Commercials
4. Movies
5. Television shows
6. Gossip columnists, tabloids, magazines
7. Radio, iPods, MP3s
8. Music genres/musicians
9. Popular books
10. Really, anything popular.

You do not need to use all of the list.

The contest itself is officially over, but if anyone wants use this as an inspiration, please feel free.

Have fun!

    That’s a very original challenge Alexa, and I have a good idea that came to me after watching one of those celebrity entertainment/news-Infotainment- shows ..

    I’ve been told that this is hard (which is odd; I was going for fun). It was recommended I give y’all steps on how to do it.

    Step 1. Pick something on TV, Internet, radio, or in the magazines that annoys you.

    Step 2. Make fun of it.

    1/2 of the SNL skits qualify (at least, last time I watched). But, if y’all think this is hard, what’re you gonna do when I break out the big guns in January?

    Wonderland -

    I’m glad that there is nothing (or no one) popular that you consider somehow demeaning to your taste and sensibilities. It sounds like a very positive place to be.

    For my part, I shall follow Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, James Thurber, George Bernard Shaw, Erma Bombeck, Mae West, Tom Stoppard, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Mahr, Fran Liebowitz and a gazillion other authors in looking seriously at society, and then pointing out its humorous imperfections.

    It seems that someone is, truly, “Living in Wonderland.”
    Must be nice.
