It’s time, once again, to delve into the mixed grab bag of what people have been tapping into google in order to end up here over the last fortnight.
Just in case you hadn’t realised: people scour the internet for some odd things. Have some Coasters to ease you into the randomness:
And now to the search terms! Read the rest of this entry »
It’s the first day of 2012, which means it’s entirely respectable (for once) to be nursing a hangover and lounging around in bed all day.
But it is a Sunday, and the sun is quite firmly set beyond the horizon, so it might be time to shake things up a bit and get on with the first Search Term Sunday of the year. (And then to collapse back into an exhausted heap again immediately afterwards.)
example paper that describes beyonce’s character of in the film obession personality in the terms of the big five personality traits
I’ve got enough essay stress to contend with, I’m certainly not taking on anyone else’s on top of it. Plus you didn’t even explain which film you were talking about.
Denied!
As I trawled through the past fortnight’s search terms, I found myself either salivating or gagging. Can you guess what did what?
angelina jolie looking dirty
Hello! I assume she’s dirty – why else would she be licking herself?
angelina jolie bathing suit
Don’t mind if I do.
I understand why someone might be scared to take a peek at the search terms that lead people to Pop Culture Playpen. Quite frankly they can get freaky.
But there’s no need to worry, even though it’s an ostensibly spooky time of year right now. I promise to guide you through this Search Term Sunday safely. There might be shocks and scares along the way, but you’ll come out safely (if somewhat curious about some really weird stuff) on the other side.
how tall is christina hendricks
Seriously, her height is the measurement you’re interested in?
…but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need.
With those Rolling Stones lyrics in mind (and really, who wouldn’t want to take Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ words seriously?) I’ve decided to use the Search Term Sunday this week to dispense some helpful advice.
Depraved googlers might not have realised that they were participating in a Dear Abby-esque scenario, but the searches people perform in order to end up here are as weird, if not more so, than ever. And I’m not just talking about the appalling spelling.
My first suggestion would be that you eat an apple a day, and try not to end up looking like these guys. Read the rest of this entry »
As part of my Apocalypse Book challenge, I’ve been trying to finish the books I’ve somehow left half-unread. (Or more like 99% unread.) Obviously, there’s sometimes a damned good reason some books are harder to finish than others, and the sneakily slim Heart of Darkness is a doozy. I’ve actually finished it, but felt very disconnected and confused, so need to read it again before I can write about it.
I guess you’re wondering how this links to Search Term Sunday… well, while I don’t “get” Heart of Darkness just yet, its most iconic phrase — “The horror! The horror” sprang to mind as I perused our search term stats. What is wrong with you people?!
cybill shepherd hot
Hell yea she is. But a little scary at times. She also counts as a grandma in high heels - I’m not sure she actually has grandchildren, but she’s never afraid to play one!
Last week Miss Penn sweetly tried to remove the smut, and create a family friendly Search Term Sunday.
Well, let’s have no more of that! I say let’s shun the smut-less, and instead fully embrace the strangeness (and often inappropriate sexual nature) of the search terms that led people here this week.
gay corner time
This week’s Search Term Sunday is brought to you by me, Miss Day, and what a pervy and some what animal themed mixture it is this week.
Hopefully you all made the most of this beautiful summer’s day and didn’t sit round googling filth, like this lot below…
furry porn / furry porn video / gay furry porn
What is this filth?
frogs kissing
Not as easy as you might think…but at least you might turn into a princess afterwards.
It’s time for another Search Term Sunday, and this week I’ve wrested back control from Ms Elaine E. Ouse who likes to tell you lies about my birthday.
(Or maybe she’s just not available to bully into doing it for me. Whatever.)
Anyway, it’s certainly time to investigate the strangeness of the search terms which led people to the site this week:
supernatural jensen no clothes, jensen ackles naked, jensen ackles, jensen ackles naked gay, naked jensen ackles, jason ackles nude, jensen ackles nudo, jensen ackles full nude, jensen ackles+naked and jensen ackles but naked
With persistence like that, you deserve some topless Ackles at the very least: Read the rest of this entry »
The random things that people have typed into google to find this site have been wafting along all week, and amusing the hell out of us. Join me in the eye of the storm as I examine- and mock- this lot.
jensen ackles cowboy, sexy jensen ackles and dean supernatural cowboy
Our mascot cowboy Jensen can take care of those:
But sadly not jensen ackles naked, naked jensen ackles, nude jensen ackles, jensen ackles and jared padalecki naked, jensen ackles porn, jensen ackles gay porn, jensen ackles fotos pornos or jensen ackles nude. Read the rest of this entry »
Sundays always seem to come too soon, and with them the sad knowledge that the weekend has to end. Nonetheless they can still be a day of fun, and of pouring over the search terms that lead people here of course.
jared leto dawson’s creek foto
This I cannot provide, because he was never in Dawson’s Creek.
eliza dushku lesbian
There was rather a lot of lesbian subtext in season three of Buffy…
Passion seems to be in the air. At least for William and Kate, and for those stumbling upon our humble blog via dubious search terms, looking for everything from wedding dresses and small screen studs to twincest and pornography of children’s cartoons.
Perhaps it’s Royal Wedding Fever. Maybe it’s the titillating displays of sunburned flesh and unpedicured toes that herald the British summer.
While I may not be caught up in all this twitterpation, royal or otherwise, I do have a way of showing my own special kind of Sunday love for you, dear readers. It might be more akin to pulling your hair in the playground than serving up a candlelit dinner… but trust me, it’s all meant affectionately.

Happy Easter Sunday y’all!
I must admit that Easter celebrations have never really made all that sense to me, but if you’re into pretending that rabbits lay eggs and enjoy hunting for melted chocolates in apparently unlikely places then I hope you have an enjoyable time doing so.
The stuff that I’ve been searching for- silly search terms- are far easier to find. It’s much like looking for hay in a haystack, as soon as you take a look at the searches people have performed in order to bring them to this site you’re sucked into a wildly weird world.
Let’s give it a whirl:
jensen ackles cowboy
Have you seen the ‘Frontierland’ episode of Supernatural yet? You neeeeeed to, it’s chock full of our mascot, Cowboy Jensen, and comes complete with plenty of cowboy Jared:
We really are getting on for summer, the sun is genuinely shining and the weather is sweet.
It’s nice to be able to enjoy the weekend out on the grass, rather than being holed up inside piling on the layers just to feel like you’re not turning into a person-shaped icicle.
I hope that you’ve all been having hot fun in the sun, but when you eventually make your way back inside (the evenings aren’t yet quite as warm as I’d like them to be, let me tell you) there’ll still be a Search Term Sunday for your perusal each week.
Join us as we try to puzzle out what exactly it is that people are looking for when they end up here- and whether the weirdest googling can be blamed on sunstroke or daytime drinking.
What does Sunday mean to you? For me, in an ideal world, it’s lie-ins, pajamas, brunch, fat newspapers, roasts and movie marathons.
And every other Sunday, it’s also trawling the Internet to figure out how to best tease and satisfy those who stumble upon PCP via the strangest search terms… so come on, read (and see) all about it!
evil things
There is a lot of evil in the world. Especially if you live in Sunnydale. The Gentlemen in landmark Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode ”Hush” were particularly sinister.
tyra banks’ underarms
I like the concession to grammar, but shake my head at the ongoing armpit fetishism. Not judging, just getting bored… how bout knees? Anyone? Read the rest of this entry »
Why am I always hungover when it’s my turn to do the Search Term Sunday? Life is wildly unfair. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, it’s time again to air people’s dirty google laundry in public.
The search terms that lead people to Pop Culture Playpen are often wacky, wonderful, wild- and perplexing. But however you got here, sit back and enjoy us discussing this week’s batch.
perfect jawlines
Comes complete with ridiculous cheekbones:
how to distract yourself from porn
Well you could let Ms Elaine E. Ouse dictate your Lent- she suggests giving up misogyny, and part of that is a pledge to set aside Disney porn. Or you could do like Miss Penn and read a load of books, that’s pretty distract-y.
I’ve just returned from a weekend in Brighton and should be shattered, but Ms Elaine E. Ouse’s girlfriend has kept me alive by pumping out pop punk and hip hop on the drive back, so I’m hyper enough for another Search Term Sunday!
It’s time to nose around and look at what search terms have led people to Pop Culture Playpen this week… And then to mock them.
misfits nathan in suit
He’s more commonly seen in an orange jumpsuit but here ya go:
It’s time for another Search Term Sunday- where we explore the strange things that people have googled to end up being directed to our site. This week seems especially Supernatural heavy, even for us, maybe because we recently wrote about Sam vs. Dean.
In general if we’re feeling benevolent we might actually try to answer the queries, but given that Sundays are often our hangovers of doom day we’re more likely to mock. And then promptly fall asleep.
So let’s give it a whirl:
jensen ackles british top model
So pretty that he transcends national boundaries.
Maybe it’s the fact that we’re coming to the end of winter, with longer days and weather occasionally warm enough to keep the blood circulating in my fingers… maybe it’s the imminence of the proper end of the TV-land hiatus. Whatever it is, I’m feeling rather generous. The search terms are as strange as ever, but this week I’d like to do my very best to make everyone’s wishes come true. Here goes.
chinese national palace museum paintings
This is Night Revels of Han Xizai by Gu Hongzhong, a 10th century work of art survived by the 12th century remake that is currently on display in the Chinese National Museum.

Couldn’t find the story, but hopefully this will provide the requisite inspiration.
bunnies dressed like men
Top hat and tails ahoy. Although I personally prefer men dressed like bunnies… especially when they’re Chandler Bing.
puppyish teens torrent
I hear puppy, my mind immediately goes to to Jared Padalecki. Here he is as a teen. I’ll leave it to you to torrent whatever form of Padapuppy entertainment floats your boat.
misfits nathan naked
Not quite naked, but I like to leave something to the imagination. (Unlike the man himself.) Makes a nice change from the obsession people have with his fashion!
hardworking employer cartoons
It is very hard work giving someone a good telling off.
princess journey beyond dreams
Hmmm, I suppose the prince kissing Sleeping Beauty back to waking life is like a journey beyond dreams…
anna friel fly with me
I guess this is in reference to Anna Friel’s recent appearance on aiport mockumentary Come Fly with Me. What’s funny though, is when you type this phrase into Google, the first thing that comes up is a forum post speculating on whether she’s really bald. I don’t think so…

Yay, time for some Cowboy Jensen!

When isn’t a Barbie bed fun?

They can inflict serious damage with those brushes…

I’m sorry, the best I can think of is A Streetcar Named Desire. A sister-in-law erotic drama minus the lesbianism but plus the Marlon Brando. Fair trade?

There you go.

More lady-loving-lip-locking action.
ted mosby how i met your mother falling
Falling in love or actual falling? Miss Thropist would no doubt love to see the latter. Couldn’t find any screenshots, but here he is in the hospital… so you can pretend that it was just after a fall.

Check out Miss Thropist’s Fan Death of said movie to know which bits of Moulin Rouge you ought to avoid. Which is all of it.
comical cowboys
Oh go on then…
The day we exhaust Google’s supply of Cowboy Jensens will be a very sad one indeed. We may need to kidnap him… anyone mind lending us a ranch and a pony?
drawings of henry winkler from happy days
Sunday, Monday… Happy Days!
And who knew that Happy Days was made into a cartoon, which sounds like a mash-up between the source material, Grease, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo and Quantum Leap. According to Frederator Blogs:
While the cartoon was based on the live action show, the cartoon added a dog, Mr. Cool (voiced by Frank Welker), and a girl from the future, Cupcake (voiced by DiDi Conn) to the cast. The characters travel through history in a time machine, trying, as narrator Wolfman Jack put it, “…to get back to 1957 Milwaukee.”

Again, no stories, but here’s some visual inspiration.

You’re in luck, because it appears that zombie footballer novel Play Dead is heading to a screen near you soon. And by soon, I mean at least a year.
where jared leto dog
I dunno, in Jared Leto kennel?
Although if this is referring to Judas, the only dog I could confirm Jared has owned, he’s been in the big kennel in the sky since May 2007, hopefully with all the treats, self-throwing balls, postmen’s feet and open car windows as he could ever desire.
polly pocket history
According to The Toy Review:
Polly Pocket was first created by in 1983 by Chris Wiggs. The original design was made for his daughter and Chris used a powder compact to make a small house for the little doll. Polly Pocket arrived in stores in 1989 when Bluebird Toys licensed the product. A distribution arrangement was held between Bluebird Toys and Mattel in the early 1990s. Bluebird Toys experienced several take-over attempts when production began to slow and in 1998, Mattel finally purchased them. Polly Pocket was redesigned in 1999 by Mattel and a whole new series of collectible products were created. Polly became slightly larger and more life-like than the original Polly designed by Chris. The name Polly Pocket actually comes from the original Polly Pocket toys that fit in pocket size cases. Mattel also introduced Fashion Polly later in 1999.
Now, does anyone feel like making my dreams come true? You can start by leaving a comment!
Christmas is a time of excess. You spend too much, eat too much, drink too much. And you treat your loved ones to bumper editions of things, like annuals and chocolate selections. Or really really small versions of things, like perfume… but because our love for y’all is so huge (and we’ve been a little slack of late), you’re getting a supersized version of Search Term Sunday for Boxing Day, as we each examine the leftovers of the past two weeks, and attempt to reheat them up as fresh humour. Enjoy!
Miss Penn
free neked models
None of those. Sorry. (We’re working on it though.)
holly is fit as fuck pop culture playpen
Well, I guess she is, if you’re into big boobed blondes with a penchant for dress-up and dirty old men:
are carly pope cobie smulders twin sisters
I can understand why you’d think that:
But no, they aren’t. They should totally be cast as sisters – along with fellow Canuck Caroline Dhavernas.
over 50 male below the torsos
So OVER 50 and BELOW the torso? I can’t quite get my head around that. Which is probably a good thing.
barbie porn
A refreshing change from Disney porn!

Oook.
buffay the vampire layer
Ha, I know this is a Friends reference, but it gets me every time.
workers kissing office lesbians
Miss Day would approve.
troll doll melted hair
Miss Day would NOT approve. And all Google can do is provide non-melted troll doll hair. Maybe next year, if you behave yourself.
absurd minds
Well, Miss Thropist and Captain Pants certainly have ones. Possibly twos or threes.
sweater owned by ashton kutcher given to me personally
How did you find out about that? That’s in my safe, between the thong Beyonce gave to me personally and the mobile phone I pickpocketed from Paris Hilton.
alicia witt as a stripper
Well, she played one in Two and a Half Men – episode 5, season 6. Apparently the lack of Charlie Harper can cause a girl to turn to lapdancing. I’m not a fan of the show, but I did catch a bit of this rather dull episode… poor Alicia hasn’t had a gig worthy of her talents since Cybill. On the upside, she seems to have largely halted the ageing process.
how to dress like nathan from misfits
We’ve been getting a lot of search terms pertaining to Nathan’s fashion sense… which I find odd, as it seems to consist solely of orange jumpsuits, Christmas jumpers and underpants. But what do I know about style?
Miss Thropist
Christmas is a time of greed: you guzzle turkey, glug wine and stuff yourself on figgy pudding. True to the spirit of the season Miss Penn has greedily gobbled up the crème de la crème of the search terms before me.
Luckily the internet seems to have an almost endless supply of Christmas cracker-esque funnies:
kristen stewart six pack
Six packs often turn up in the search terms, especially Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner’s, probably thanks to Miss Penn’s torso-heavy review of New Moon. I guess someone decided to plump for equal Twilight perving opportunities. Sadly Google image doesn’t really supply the goods.

I don’t want to be judgey, but isn’t Ray a firefly?

The official police policy no doubt.

marriage tribulations new report finds worrying trends
Consuming pop culture leads to divorce. True story.
And a couple I can’t believe we missed, which are both funnier than we could ever hope to be about them:
a older bride at forty years will marry with twenty years youmg man wedding
a large wellmade smooth-faced man of fifty with stylish cast but every mark of capacity and kindness
And that’s it for Search Term Sunday… at least until 2011!
With the Christmas shopping season in full swing, you can’t have have failed to notice the many children’s toy adverts filling the commercial breaks between festive films and favourite shows.
As a cynical and wise old grown up I can see these toys on TV for what they are…plastic, made in China and never as good as they look on TV, whether it’s Polly Pocket’s little face rubbing off within a week, or Cherry Merry Muffin’s sickly smell wearing off.
As a child I was completely spellbound by adverts for Baby All Gone, the Barbie Styling head (never got that one!), Littlest Pet Shop, Puppy in My Pocket… you name it, I wanted it. I remember ardently longing for the subject of each advert, thinking my little life would just be complete if I could just have it! My Little Ponies, Bubble Fairy Barbie and oh my goodness that toy kitchen with all the plastic food – how I lusted after that. I literally hate you if you had that as a child.
It’s frightening to think of the scary subliminal power these adverts had over me as a naive child, turning me into a pester-powered little brat, desperate for plastic shiny things in my stocking.
Here’s some of the toys that I would have loved to find under my Christmas tree once upon a time:
Tiny Tears
I’ve never been one for playing at being a mummy, even as a little girl, but Tiny Tears did melt my heart a little with those blinking, long-lashed eyes. Who could not love a doll who cried real tears… and peed, well, pure water. Sure you had to squeeze her stomach so hard that it would probably kill a real baby to make her pee, but still a much-loved classic none the less.
Sylvanian Families
Not sure why these were really so great, collect them was literally all you could do. But you just had to get more families and furniture, to be nicely re-arranged on a daily basis. I suppose it was kind of nice to think of a family of wild boars, living in the next room to a family of rabbits. Totally un-realistic though… as if a family of rabbits would only have two kids.
My Little Pony
Again a lot of collecting and neatly arranging involved and not much actual playing, but weren’t they just the epitome of perfect, pretty girly-ness? With their bright 80s colourings and super cute names: Applejack, Bubbles, Cotton Candy. Is there a girl born of the 80s who didn’t lust after these precious plastic ponies?
Troll Dolls
(Not to be confused with Trollz). This one I can’t really explain, but as a child I absolutely adored my trolls, carefully storing them, giving them all names and NEVER EVER cutting their beautiful hair (I looked down upon anyone who did that). I bought Troll magazine, saved my pocket money for more Trolls and spent my troll-free time drawing my Trolls…I guess there was just something about their endearingly ugly little faces.
Barbie
Some say she was anti-feminist (I beg to differ), but it was hard not to be indoctrinated into Barbie love as a child, adverts for her were everywhere and I couldn’t help but desire the latest doll (side note – Miss Penn had like ALL the Barbies ever – jealous!). My favourites were Sports Barbie, Tie Dye Barbie, Bedtime Barbie and Pet Doctor Barbie. Everyone’s has a favourite Barbie, and quite frankly if you say you didn’t like Barbie as a little girl – I don’t believe you!
