Satchi and "Female"

[Aaron Gerow]

>shows"!)

Aaargh!  I have been unmasked!

But no, I actually don't watch all the morning wide shows.  (I have 
morning classes to teach and a son to take to day care).  But on some 
mornings when I'm not taking Ian the Norimono Hakase off to day care, I 
have about 10 or 15 minutes after 8:30 (the start of some of the morning 
wide shows) to flip through the channels and check out what's going on.  
The show I actually prefer is Hanamaru Market (TBS's alternative to the 
wideshow), but then that depends on their topic of the day....

But it is interesting I feel like I have to defend myself.  Has my 
masculinity been challenged?  My status as an intellectual?  

Ah, there are so many meanings attached to involvement in popular 
culture....
