Yes, I finally saw the parody of "the Real World" that was on the Dave Chappelle. I feel like I'm hip again.

Speaking of which….a friend, over the weekend, was talking about how much he was being driven crazy by the media saturation of all of your typical media saturation type things. This was coming from somebody who doesn't even delve into the heavy waters of pop culture, unlike yours truly. His point, which is pretty true, is that even somebody whose doing their darndest not to know anything about the Apprentice or Jessica Simpson knows about them. This makes him upset.

All of which gave me an idea. What if we can create some sort of mental spam blocker. Just like we have for our e-mail accounts. You hear something about, say, Britney Spears and it gets blocked from entering your consciousness. Or anything involving "American Idol."

Of course, there could be some problems with this idea. Like if you block Britney, what would happen if you actually know someone named Britney? And would Ms. Spears attempt to somehow make it through your consciousness (which, of course, she would because she just would) by coming out with an album entitled "Mitney Mears?" And would this country be better off if everyone had the option to block any mention of President Bush?

Alright, maybe I need to work on this idea a bit more. And maybe I should have thought about it before I posted it, but I just thought I should post something.
