Homestar Runner.

[BuckminsterF]

Pokemon games and Gogol Bordello (band)

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Historical fiction, especially Regency romances and Elizabethan/Renaissance swashbucklers.

And Fairly Odd Parents. I find it hilarious, and know its wrong whenever I laugh.

I love FOP!! I use my daughter as an excuse to watch it even though she is far too young to understand it.

i am hopelessly addicted to anime and video games

 

[flamedance58]

1. I once watched the Street Fighter movie, the one with Akuma and his field of coffins, and enjoyed it despite it being horribly made.

2. I once watched a B-Movie titled Orgasmo...it's the stupidest thing I've seen but it gave me some kicks.

3. Anime. Enough said.

4. Really bad porn. If you've ever seen the movie "Pirates" you know what I'm talking about..oddly enough I watch 'em for the laughs

I love those hopeless romance stories with the girl with a boyfriend secretly wanting the guy who's really strong but brooding and bordering on emotionally inept.

British chips are huge chunks of potato with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. French Fries are splinters with potato flavouring and too much salt.
And Walker's Crisps beat ANY other crisp or American chips.

Georgette Heyer? I'd recommend some of Isabelle Allende's and Storm Constantine's work. Although Storm tends to be recent/future.

 

[killhour]

"Girly" music (Iio, Blue October, Angel City, etc.)

Oh, and Electric Six. I have to have my fix of Dance Commander at least once a week.

A few of the latest webcomics I've read. Had to lower my standards a little after I was done with all the good ones.

 

[Sylocat]

Yes, quite a few webcomics are on my guilty pleasures list... The Wotch, EGS, that sort of thing... they just speak to my inner geek.

Of course, there are some webcomics that are actually quite good on their own, like xkcd, Misfile, and so on... but those aren't really "guilty" pleasures.

 

[CosmicStorms]

Gossip magazines, I just can't help caring what celebs are up to.

I'm gonna go wash, I feel dirty.

 

[Mistress Harpo]

All the music i have ever bought on iTunes.... All of it. To much to list but here's a peek; Britney Spears "Piece of Me" (I know stop looking at me like that), Backstreet Boys "Helpless When She smiles", Ricky Martin "Livin La Vida Loca", Avril Lavigne "Contagious" "Hot" And "Girlfriend".... This is all so shameful because next on the list is three disturbed CDs I borrowed from a friend.

 

[stompy]

Well i know i shouldnt feel bad about this but i do. I. Like. Slipknot, i dont know why i dont know how i just do.

I ended up liking 'Pulse of the Maggots'... though I've done away with Slipknot now. Been clean for, oh, a few months now.

Edit:

This is all so shameful because next on the list is three disturbed CDs I borrowed from a friend.

You're not saying Disturbed is a bad band, are you?

I adore Georgette Heyer. Clare Darcy isn't bad either. And I should specify that bodice-ripping romances are not Regency, regardless of era. A good Regency romance is all about wishing Jane Austen had written more books. Though it is worth noting that Heyer's language is much less naturalistic than Austen's, and there's a lot more costume description. Got to show off your historical research I suppose. Same goes with Elizabethan dialogue and costuming in the swashbucklers.

I've always thought of Allende as being a Magical Realist, regardless of era. Does she do straight up historicals? What historicals did Constantine write? Everything I'm seeing looks like fantasy.

How is this a source of guilt for you?
