Thanks much to Entertainment Weekly and to Tara, Sarah and Dave of Television Without Pity, who were responsible for getting Pop Culture Junk Mail mentioned in the Ultimate List of 100 Web Sites, as written up in the June 23 issue ( "Superman Returns" cover, page 39).
EW picked TWoP as one of its top sites, and TWoP's powers-that-be in turn chose three sites, one of which is PCJM. I'm seriously honored.
If you're new to PCJM from the EW mention, welcome! EW gave the http://pcjm.blogspot.com address, but you can also use the original URL, http://www.popculturejunkmail.com -- either one will get you to the same place.
You can also sign up to receive email whenever I update the site. I promise big things coming down the pike, inspired by my recent visit to the land of samurai, Shinkansen and Mr. Sparkle! As a candy bag of chocolate marshmallows that I bought there says "Let's have an amazing texture!"
About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

Congrats, Gael! I've been reading PCJM for ages and it's nice to see the kind of priceless exposure in EW!
Hi Gael! I hope you get mad traffic from the mention. We love you.
Also, keep the Japan entries coming. Dave and I are talking about going to Tokyo next year and can use all the advance warnings we can get. Hee.
