Akubi,
I like your pics. Beautiful Images here at Blog about a blog about a blog about a blog.
Anyway, I found a time trip for you in the form of a 1977
JC Penny catalog spread.
Tee he
enjoy.

Akubi said...: @Ogg,
While I think black highlights images better, it would probably be too confusing if all of my blogs were the same color. Wouldn't want to confuse SFW with NSFW.

@FMW,
Thanks! Of the artwork above, I was particularly intrigued with the chess playing "good question" one in the middle.
That lime green shag toilet seat is hilarious Edgar's Toilet material. Back to wrapping presents and then getting to bed, but I'll definitely post it there tomorrow unless someone else does first (hint, hint ;)).; December 19, 2007 at 9:29 PM
Akubi said...: While I don't eat meat (other than fish), culturally I seem to be an omnivore.
What are you?; December 20, 2007 at 9:56 AM
NotAnOptimist said...: I would've said that I'm an univore, except I'm a huge fan of Terracotta Warriors. (How can anyone not like Terracotta Warriors? Dead people!!) So I suppose I could be a paucivore...; December 20, 2007 at 11:00 AM
Akubi said...: @NotAnOptimist,
Even worse, how could anyone dislike "any arts at all"?
The "TV or opera: which cultural group are you in?" descriptions seem awfully oversimplified. For example, there is plenty of art, music, theater, etc. that I dislike, but I don't dislike anything in the other options - and my dislikes are specific rather than categorical. Do you dislike anything avant-gard?
I'd be curious to see the questionnaire they actually used in the study.; December 20, 2007 at 11:28 AM
NotAnOptimist said...: @Akubi,
Since I am unclear as to what exactly is "avant-garde", I cannot answer your question. I am unlikely to be found at a symphony. I've never been to an opera, and will likely deny any interest whatsoever in it. I will probably protest going to an art gallery/museum, or a musical, or a theatre production... but I'm very likely to enjoy it once I'm there. I don't do rock concerts, but that's more because I wouldn't know what to do at a concert. After all, I have a reputation to uphold: apathetic social recluse. ;); December 20, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Ogg the Caveman said...: I don't think I really fit into any of those categories. Inactives, in particular, seems like a strawman set up to make the other groups feel better about themselves. I doubt that there are many people who truly dislike all art, unless you use a very limited definition of art. That seems to be what the people behind the study did.

This bit also struck me as odd:

"Education and social status decided what people watched, listened to and attended rather than social class."

What, exactly, is the difference between social class and social status?; December 20, 2007 at 1:31 PM

I would guess that Paris Hilton, for example, has social class, but lacks social status.; December 20, 2007 at 2:12 PM
