The New Leader of Pop Culture

Quality reference on Veronica Mars tonight to "that Star Wars Kid." VM is absolutely the undisputed heir to Buffy-esque cutting edge pop culture references.

(It should be noted that Arrested Development also alluded to the Star Wars Kid a few weeks ago. I am not detracting from the brilliance of that show, but VM is more frequently a Buffy-esque source of trendy slang and pop culture references. Which is the subject at hand.)

Anyway, the above link will take you to the original video, plus a number of very funny remixes. But arguably the best use of the Star Wars Kid footage comes from a different web site. Enjoy.

Speaking of Buffy/VM similarities, does the VM/Logan relationship remind anyone else of Buffy/Angel? It just has that feel to it. Like she's supposed to be against him, but she can't. How he was heartless until his mother's death seemed to give him a soul.

Does that mean lots of violins and pointless crying are in the future? Please spare me that. The mindless kissing parts were so much better than that would be.
