How much is pop culture affecting us?


The American party girl, model,actress and singer Lindsay Lohan, 21 has been in the news in the last few years more for news of her escapades from drug rehabilitaion centres.

Now she is in the news for posing nude recreating America's most famous Star Marilyn Monroe whose life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose in 1962. Many may find Lindsay's photos tasteless, but these type of gimmicks sells magazines as New York fashion magazine found out.

The pictures have been so popular that the magazine's Web site crashed, receiving around 20 million daily page views on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The New York Times has joined a raging debate on the merit of this photo shoot calling the images of Lohan-as-Monroe "macabre".

Here's Lindsay singing one of her songs.

How much?..If you want to quantify Pan-Americanism you only need to go through all the many blogs on our blogsphere and the holier-than-thou neo-liberal post-modernist junk they try to sell as their own.

Brain washed junkies high on MTV and Holsten...
