Just What Is Pop Culture and When Do I Get My 15 Minutes?
Simply defined "Pop Culture" is exactly that ... Popular Culture.
But we think there's a lot more to our culture than who's dating who, who's wearing what, what's hot and what's not.
While mass media has much to do with defining Pop Culture, all of us contribute to that definition,
if only by that which we choose to embrace and that which we choose to reject.
Frankly, we're not all that interested in what Lindsey is drinking, why Christie is divorcing or who Paris is ...
well, you get the idea. That's why we created REEL RETAIL'S "Pop Culture" section.
This is our place to post some of the things that we think are interesting about our culture. |

STILL ON THE BOOKS ... STILL AGAINST THE LAW
In Kansas, it's illegal to hit a vending machine that stole your money.
In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
In Iowa, a man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public.
Just a small sample of big government, small brains and dumb laws. |

WHAT WOULD YOU REQUEST?
Performing artists include, in their contracts with venues, specifications that cover sound, lighting, ticket sales and all of the things necessary to put on a performance. And then there are those contract riders that cover the really important stuff, like the color of the backstage M&Ms. |
