The 2003 Slightly Politically Incorrect Pop Culture Year in Review

Here’s what people were talking about this year…

1. Dumb blondes
Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton reinforced the ditzy blond stereotype with their stints as klutzy housewife and un-camera shy farmhand living the “Simple Life” – and we loved every minute of it!

2. Fat black guys
This was not a good year if you were fat, black and a singer. Barry White passed away, Luther Vandross suffered a stroke and to top it off, Ruben was outsold by a skinny, white geek!

3. Homos and Lesbos - Being “out” was very IN this year
– Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
– Britney and Madonna’s kiss
– Clay Aiken

4. Sick People
From SARS to Michael Jackson, 2003 was a year full of dirty, infected, diseased people. Heck, Christina Aguilera was so dirty I felt like I could get an STD just looking at her!

5. Acronyms - from email speak "gtg" and "brb" to TV faves "OC" and "CSI" to clothing logos "A&F" and "TH".... hey, does anybody remember JTT?

Catch-phrases:
IN
Anything with the word “so” in it – as in, “You’re SO not Seth Cohen!” or “SO yesterday” (Hilary Duff)
5 Minutes Ago
Referencing a celebrity name to describe something – ex. “I’m going all Mariah” or “Pulling a Jessica.”
OUT
"Crack is Wack"

What I want for 2004, more or less...

MORE Jennifer Aniston, LESS Jennifer Lopez
MORE Nicole Ritchie, LESS Nicole Kidman
MORE Good pop-punk bands, LESS Good Charlotte
MORE "Everwood," LESS Hugh Hefner (ha ha - see if you got that!)
MORE Average Joe, LESS Joe Millionaire
MORE Destiny's Child, LESS Beyonce
MORE Bruce and Brooke, LESS Ashton and Demi
MORE Justin and Britney, LESS Nick and Jessica (zzzzz)
MORE Mary-Kate and Ashley, LESS Ying-Yang Twins
LESS Bennifer
LESS Saddam/Iraq
LESS George Bush/USA
MORE Pete on Smallville
MORE clothes on Christina Aguilera
