Pop Culture Club

Our introduction to Dane Cookcame abruptly one night, when, out of boredom or curiosity, we turned to Saturday Night Live and watched in amazement as the host, a fairly normal-looking, frattish-type man, energetically described flicking a cashew off his erect penis. The monologue went on for some time -- longer than usual and to uproarious audience laughter -- and we felt a harrowing sense of disconnect from popular culture. Who was this man, we lamented, and how had he ascended to such heights without our knowing?
