This dead thing comes from the seriousdanger photo archives recently rediscovered in an attic in our editor-in-chief's home town.
Odocoileus virginianus in a cardboard box, found in the northern Michigan woods circa 1995. Cause of death: unknown (foul play suspected).
Cultures clashed at the end of the 1990s when native New Jerseyan Lauryn Hill and erstwhile Mouseketeer Jessica Simpson both had hits at the top end of the pop charts. They vied for the same space in the Top 40, but these two ladies had very different styles. Who was the fans' favorite?
Fortunately for cultural historians, the vox populi is preserved online. Below are actual message board posts from elsewhere on the world wide wank. Dust them off like so many sooty Pompeiians, and remember what it was like to live in a nation divided.
