re: #62 Walter L. Newton

I heard a researcher speaking on a CBC Radio (think NPR) program that basically said using pop culture references, such as quotes from The Simpson’s or South Park was an essential part of male bonding. Established commonality and sense of ‘tribe’. Similar to sports fans I imagine. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was now extending into internet memes. I’m sure this is something humans have been doing since cave paintings.
