  <description><![CDATA[Pop culture mavens and authors of 15 books,  the Sterns have assembled a directory of American &quot;ersatz culture&quot; that would make Roseanne Barr proud. Their goal is, &quot;to catalogue bad taste, define the standard masterworks, and inaugurate the annals of the world's favorite faux pas.&quot; With entries running the gamut from Chippendale dancers, Tammy Faye Bakker, and the jogging suit to Jello, nose jobs, and tattoos, the result is a somewhat humorous and whimsical volume that celebrates lowbrow culture more than berates it.

    <![CDATA[Pop culture mavens and authors of 15 books,  the Sterns have assembled a directory of American &quot;ersatz culture&quot; that would make Roseanne Barr proud. Their goal is, &quot;to catalogue bad taste, define the standard masterworks, and inaugurate the annals of the world's favorite faux pas.&quot; With entries running the gamut from Chippendale dancers, Tammy Faye Bakker, and the jogging suit to Jello, nose jobs, and tattoos, the result is a somewhat humorous and whimsical volume that celebrates lowbrow culture more than berates it. This encyclopedia offers trivial information aplenty, most of it from secondary sources: the origins of bowling, the invention of the Lava Lite.-- Library Journal]]>
