We're never going to catch up! (A bad thing because not all FAs will be main page featured; a good thing because there are so many more FAs.)
We could start featuring two articles a day. One from a traditional encyclopaedic topic and one from a pop-culture topic, perhaps.
That's a false division of content. Wikipedia merely has more space for pop-culture topics than traditional paper encyclopedias. Anyway, pop culture on Wikipedia is one of our greatest assets - it attracts a lot of new users who would not otherwise read encyclopedia articles.
I never said there was anything wrong with pop-culture articles, but there is a clear distinction between an article on Titanium and an article on Pikachu (sp?). Having one featured article from each category allows people interested in each to find an article they'll be interested in. There are plenty of other ways to split the site in two, but I think this is the best.
