POPSReality Lord of the Flies Drop a bunch of kids in an abandoned town and see if they get crazy enough to make some must-see TV. Yes, it's exploitative and a frightening snapshot of our voyeuristic society, but how can you not watch this?

POPSDesign & Mystique of the Japanese School Uniform The U.K., Malaysia and Ireland have nice school uniforms, but the Japanese school attire seemingly takes it to another level, leaving the students looking like little sailors and marching band leaders? The variety of uniforms as well as the ways students customize them as far as they are allowed is amazing. PingMag shows you interesting details in fashion and the social performance that accompany this apparel to a point where the traditional Japanese school uniform has developed beyond the schoolyard and into pop culture. A very interesting read at the source.....

POPSThe life-giving power of literature
I used to get bored out of my brain before I started reading I could never latch on to it to easily till I found words of wisdom and writing that could be applied to life also learning about the outside world/universe through factual writing like national geographic and the guardian newspaper has really opened a lot of doors for life,conversation,enjoyment and distraction reading offered answers to the meaning of life and the universe which had seriously distressed me beforehand the quote from volataire sums it up: Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! And if one reads profitably, one would realize how much stupid stuff the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day." — Voltaire this is particulary true in the days of crappy prime time tv shows and hyped up media I also read somewhere about the calming effect good reading material promoting creative thought can have on ones nerves which I found very true oh and the source goodreads is awesome che

POPS100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases Clipped 30/100, more at the source. These are the favorite lines that have entered into the everlasting human lexicon. The 70s are heavily represented (e.g. "Smile, you're on `Candid Camera'"). Saturday Night Live provided many favorites through the years (e.g."Well, isn't that special?", Dana Carvey as the Church Lady), but recent additions are relatively sparse — and somewhat lame — (e.g. "Bam!" from Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril Live"). A series of shows on TV Land will commemorate the list in mid-December. What TV pop culture quotes and catchphrases from the past do you think should have made the list? - Plastic.com

POPSInternet censorship?? A powerful Senate committee wants government regulators to find cutting edge technologies that can censor audio and video that flows over the internet, through cable, or into an iPhone to help make sure the nation's small children never see a naked breast or hear Howard Stern without parental permission. The idea is to turbo charge the V-Chip, a government mandate that requires television makers to include a chip that parents can used to filter shows. Here we go........

POPSChildrens Do Learn "Just a day earlier, the White House inadvertently showed how it tries to prevent Bush from making even more slips of the tongue than he already does. As Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, a marked-up draft of his speech briefly popped up on the U.N.

POPSBoot United Nations Now!
cont: Here you have an open-and-shut case of a rogue, dictatorial regime kidnapping and holding hostage innocent soldiers...soldiers that were not in Iranian waters when they were apprehended. The Brits have the GPS data to prove it. One of the sailors is a woman, making the situation all the more outrageous. On top of all this, Iran is parading the soldiers on TV...in direct violation of the Geneva Convention. And what does the UN do? Nothing. Why? Because the UN is anti-American, and that makes it anti-Brit. It's time for not only the United States to pull out of the United Nations but for us to kick them out of the United States. Let's form another international organization composed of countries with elected governments that adhere to principles of economic freedom and guaranteed rights for their citizens. The UN? Give it Haiti. The two deserve each other. The left always tells us we need the U.N. as a place for countries to settle international disputes. Tell me just one
