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.

Oh, I think Linus is getting to be big in American geek circles. I know of two baby Linuses.
I'm sure they think Madison, Addison and others are just as interesting. And I think Linus is cute. (But as a Lost fan, it reminds me of Benjamin Linus...)
Elif is a pretty common Turkish name. Moritz sounds like a cat..
Yeah, but Linus is pronounced Lee-nus in Germany. It takes some getting used to. :-)
