Why......?

1. Why is it that NASCAR is typically associated with rednecks and white trash? There are a ton of people who play Forza, which is essentially the same thing, but the moment you say you're going to a NASCAR event people automatically assume you're fucking your sister?

2. Why are we so ashamed of pooping in public? I'm not talking about the sanitary conditions of gas station restrooms, I mean in the office. I noticed earlier today one of my coworkers casing the restroom and then zipping in there when nobody was looking. 10 minutes later, when she emerged, I realized why she was casing it in the first place - I've had the same feeling of "don't look anybody in the eye" after leaving the restroom too. But why? Judging by the number of times a day the bathroom reeks of Lysol room spray, most of the people in the office are doing it (some more than others), but why are people in general afraid of their own crap?

Last night I started organizing the footage from this weekend's interviews for the 2old2play Pop Culture Series. We used two cameras and shot 2 hours of content, so I'm sitting on 4 hours of footage that needs to be edited. Waterborn spent some time talking to the cast and crew of a locally-produced film called Serena and the RATTS, and by the end of the week (depending on the availability of some additional footage) we will start releasing the interviews. Even though I'd never heard of the film before Sunday, the interviews are fascinating. Keep an eye on my blog, Waterborn's blog, and the front page - I'm also putting together a sneak preview of what you can expect from future installments of the Pop Culture Series.
