MMA. Mixed Martial Arts for the few who haven't been overwhelmed by the movement yet. While I respect the talent and training of the fighters, I can't understand why the sport is so popular.
As for "Hey, Soul Sister," well a; the lyrics themselves allude to many things "retro." Retro is cool, and hip, b; the Jason Mraz cover has a ukulele in it, and they are very cool, Eddie Vedder just did an album totally inspired by the instrument, and c; along with advertisements and a spot on "Glee" it seems to be the shit. Yes, it's shit, but right now, it's "The Shit."
And, as far as the word "soul," I guess that idiot never heard "Lady Marmalade."
As for MMA, "Two men enter, one man leaves," or something like that. Since the dawn of recorded history, it draws infinite attraction. Myself, I do enjoy the technical side of hand to hand combat, but only when true technical fighters are engaged, otherwise, not for me. But dudes love a good fight. Hockey for instance.
Why are reality shows so popular? Is it the car crash that everyone stops to see? Something so gruesome, that you can't turn your gaze?
The Jersey Shore! I agree with MNP. If I never had to see their faces again, I'd be thrilled!
I'll admit that I do give into some of the reality TV out there, because some of it is decent. The key word being "SOME."
but lord, I cannot STAND certain people who are coined "celebrities" for no apparent reason. Here is my list (in no particular order) of the following DB's that need to take a permanent vacation from the media and television in general
The Real Housewives - Orange Country, New York, Butt fuck Idaho...I don't care, just give it a rest already. Nobody cares about your rich husbands, plastic parts or endless bitching.
The cast of Jersey Shore - personally I want to pump my fist up all of their asses and set Snookie's poof of fire.
Lindsay Lohan - what a goddamn train wreck. I thought maybe she'd get her shit together and pull a Drew Barrymore or something, but this bitch is a lost cause. Pretty much just counting down the days until her OD or drunken car crash death tops the headlines - it's only a matter of time.
Amy Winehouse - is she really only in her 20's...because she looks to be about half mummified. She's in rehab, she's out of rehab, she's in rehab, she's out of rehab. What a hot mess. Kinda sucks, because she actually does have some talent!
The Olsen Twins - You have tons of cash girls, please stop dressing like bag ladies - it's not fashionable, it's irritating.
Justin Bieber - Really? Is this really what teenage girls swoon over? I don't get it, I really don't!
The obvious train wreck shows:
Jersey Shore
Housewives franchise
The Kardashians
The Bachelor/Bachelorette
Toddlers and Tiaras
I have a whole list, these are at the top of my list.

Latest story:
U2. Have they done anything worthy of "great band" status since Joshua Tree? And yet they are still treated as rock gods.
Oh dear: Lady Gaga has "older CDs" already, has she? . . . I think I forgot which floor I'm on in the nursing home . . . lol
I would just like to say I love train, and hey soul sister is a great song in my opinion, but then again I listen to pretty much all music, and I am super white lol, and I also love gaga, not all her songs but most, I agree with ILDA2 that some of her songs on the radio can get annoying especially judas, WAYYYYY overplayed. I also do not understand why Rebecca Black is so popular. So popular that she was actually in Katy Perry's music video omfg whyyyyyyyyyyyy=( She does not deserve to be in Katy Perry's amazing awesomeness of a video. And if anyone says they don't like katy perry in this forum i might cry because i am legitimately in love with her.
Well there's not enough room for me here lol, let's start with why is Justin bieber so popular, I mean really? Bieber fever? Cmon.. Ive listened to one song and it was "oooh baby, oooh baby" the entire time. Where's the lyrics.. Let's not forget the Jonas brothers.. We've seem the older brothers 26-27 year old cougar girlfriend.. He's no virgin.
