It wasn’t so very long ago that I discovered entirely by accident that my video-on-demand service contained the full run of the 1980s ‘Transformers’ cartoon. Since my daughter and I had enjoyed the occasional episode on The Hub, we sat down and checked out the first episode of the seldom-aired Season Four. When the child started asking about characters, I found myself unable to explain the concept of “Rodimus Prime: Headmaster” without considering a game of ‘Pop Culture or Porn Name?’ and snickering. She quickly gave up because, as she put it, “That laugh means ‘I’ll tell you why this is funny when you’re older.” Now that she’s sixteen, she just rolls her eyes, leading to today’s Rated T for Teen query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thinks that most of the G.I. Joe team is also a little suspect, especially Cover Girl and Blowtorch, asking: What other pop culture iconic names might make for a fun game of “Pop Culture or Porn Name?”
