Now, when pop-up and banner ads ask who the rapper with the blacked-out eyes is out of three choices... you know, it's supposed to be obvious if you have any sense of popular youth culture?
The whole point is making it so obvious that you're sucked into clicking on it and filling your computer with spam cookies or whatever people who know how computers work call them?
Man, I don't know who any of these people are.
I am old at twenty-seven, gang.

it's ok, I just got laughed at because I told my little brother that "Some T.I. person" was supposed to play at WashU, but then got greedy. I do not know popular rappers.
Except, you know, old ones. And some Hyphy ones (though not by sight.) And Kanye.

I have most of the major advertising sites blocked at my router. I can not recommend this enough.
As far as rap goes, I can identify maybe 16 people by sight, and three of them are the Beastie Boys. I don't know what is happening in current music events, but Jurassic 5's latest was pretty good. If I want to feel old, I think about how no one under twenty knows that Jam Master Jay was the big beat blaster, and he got better cuz he knew he hadta.

I did not know until recently that Nelly and Nelly Furtado (sp?) are two different people. Also Fat Joe and Fat Mike. I also thought that Lil' Jon was just a character created for Chapel's Show until he popped up on eMusic.

I still don't know what these... pop... ups... you speak of are!
-
Dude, you are so old.
The only popups I like are the Orbitz games. Sometimes when I'm inebriated I wonder what would happen if I actually followed through with those banner ads that promise free ipods or whatever. One day I'll be inebriated enough to find out.

Over the course of the last week or two you have shattered all my carefully cultivated illusions about you, Cort.
