The comment associated with " ...in Popular Culture" (i.e. Family Guy) has my full support.
A certain commentary at http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/30/142458/25 comes to mind. Again. Seriously, why can't we? We're getting swamped with fan-writing on all sorts of topics, much of it related to popular culture. I believe we need to reign this in before even more intellectual editors decide leave this kindergarten. Why is fan enthusiam encouraged over professional enthusiasm? It may give Wikipedia greater popularity in the short run, but it's ruining it in the long run. Or is it just me?

I don't really mind people writing about what they are interested in - their favourite band/soap opera/movie/whatever - but "x in popular culture" sections/articles really do need to go.
