I think there needs to be a community on LJ for people who have missed crappy cultural phenomenons. You could go there when you've discovered something horrifying/entertaining/cracktastic that everyone else has tired of and find like minded late adopters of awful entertainment. It could be called 'still not good.'

The advantage would be that it might remove a smidge of the shame that one feels when you discover something awful but cracktastic and watch it through on your own without the comfort of communal madness to solace you.

I think it may be a good thing that I'm swamped with planning at the moment, because my first impulse was to totally go and start this community.

I think you should start it!!!

But I'm so lazy! You should totally stiff your students and set this up with your prep time! :p

If I can make it relevant to poetry, it could be a class project! *plots*

I would be an enthusiastic early adopter of this community.

Wouldn't it be excellent? You discover something dreadful yet cracktastic and need other people to share your delight/horror/amazement/whatever.

This is an excellent idea. There's something to be said for shows that are dreadful/cheesy/embarrassing yet addictively watchable. They'll never start out great and then CRUSH YOUR VERY SOUL.

I tend to prefer cancelled rubbish TV. It rarely disappoints. But still I feel the need to have other people join me in my WTFing and shrieking.

I need to get you rubbish Bangla drama that I would never watch myself because I am a Snooty Bengali.

But then you see the crazy fans and are scared away if you have sense. This would be full of crazy fans but not the ones that marry horses or people on the astral plan. I hope.
