It's interesting how revelatory this game is about your prejudices. "Queue," like "biscuit," "lorry," or "tea," is simply something that has a certain meaning on this side of the Atlantic.

1. American Idol and all other "reality" TV shows.
2. Anti-homosexual bigotry.
3. Professional sports.
4. Kate Hudson.
5. Lord of the Rings.

Never heard of Islands Hamburgers. What state/country/territory is it in?

What's Uni?

(I live in Texas, if that explains my unfamiliarity with these fads.)

I think some folks are taking this opportunity just to list things they don't like, which misses the point a bit. Prez Bush?? really, Martin?? so, your circle of friends is nuts about Bush, think he's the bee's knees, and you would say he's ok but don't quite know what all the fuss is about? unlikely.

4. Reality TV
5. Baseball

Wow, J.P., that list forced me to laugh out loud in class.

Almost forgot:

6. The Beatles

I forgot to add this warning to the original post: including the Beatles can get you slapped.

Josh--you slap him for including the Beatles and I'll slap him for including Philly cheesesteaks, deal? ;-)

Yes, we might have to add "lese-majeste against the Beatles" as a reason for having comments edited in the site terms of usage.

These might be too obscure for most of you, but here's one from the UK:

1. 'Little Britain'
2. 'Playing it Straight'

5. High-heeled, pointy-toed shoes

1. Xanga & My Space
2. Red Bull
3. Britney Spears' Pregnancy (Pretty much any celebrity news)
4. Microsoft= Mac user here. ;-)
5. Tattoos. Also the kind of piercings that leave irreversably large holes in your body.

A delayed response to Mr. Arbiter. I believe I did get a little off-subject with the listing of President Bush. I therefore replace him with the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Anything relating to Micheal Jackson
Brittany Spears
Bull Riding
Jet skis
the Rapture

fair enough, Blank.

Dittos on Red Bull, piercings, and Britney.

Oh, and how can I forget about that instrument of the Dark Side of the Force known as Pepsi?
