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.

That is a very good article. I always like to read the comments at the end. My favorite was someone talking about the consequences of people graduating and getting a job without having learned anything. "You will have caused the woman's death: not us." (us being the educators.) Um, no, the entire point of the article is that no one person is responsible. The students cheat because the teachers expect too much because the administrators force them to, which doesn't matter anyway because bosses don't expect knowledge just performance. So when the bridge comes crashing down, we all just point fingers at everyone else.
Good thought piece.
