Guilty Pleasure

Dave is displeased that some people label enjoying some of the less weighty offerings of pop culture as being guilty pleasures. This is all part of a sliding scale of pop-culture contempt. You've all met those folks at parties who feel it's a admirable trait to have divested themselves of some aspect of our culture they deem beneath contempt. Alas that we cannot simply slay such annoying creatures at the first twiddling of their Ankh. However there are a few things you can respond, based on their level of contemporary cultural rejection: (CCR), to hopefully put them in their place.

Levels 1-3: "I only watch PBS"

Proper response: "To see animals f*** or Brits f***?"

Levels 4-6: "I own a TV but I've never turned it on"

Proper response: "To go with the books in your library you've never read?"

Levels 7-9: "I have never owned a television"

Proper response: "I'm sure the food co-op will give you a raise".

But aside from that, it makes me think Dave's outrage could be a Guilty Pleasure Meme - what are your guilty pleasures? Bold the ones you have partaken in in the dark, hoping no one would ever find out, and add more pleasures to the list as needed - but only if something you add is something you have indulged in!
