What I'm reading: I can't believe you asked that!

Phillip Milano's I can't believe you asked that: A no-holds barred Q&A about race, sex, religion, and other terrifying topics:

This was a fast, but interesting, read about various questions, "average" people's responses to them, and then an "expert" opinion. The author is editor of Y? Forum, and much of this content and more is available there.

What I'm reading: Planet Simpson

Chris Turner's Planet Simpson: How a cartoon masterpiece defined a generation:

This is a very (overly) detailed analysis of The Simpsons and how the television show draws from and contributes to today's popular culture. A great review of this book at amazon.com is (in the vein of Comic Book Guy) "Longest. Alt.tv.simpsons Post. Ever.": "In short, this book is dull." I don't know if I would go that far - but Turner does provide very thorough examples for his comparisons of Homer as today's everyman, Bart as "punk icon", Mr. Burns as the corporate global marketplace, Lisa as (of course) the activist voice of conscious, Marge as everymom; and how The Simpsons intersect the media, politics, and technology. Of course, since this is a pseudo-academic popular culture work, you'll be happy to find references to Foucault and the Panopticon.
