Pop Culture Supercollider

One of those only-on-the-Internet, adventrues-in-D-list-celebrity videos: A YouTube clip of a hair metal cover band joined onstage by one of the teachers from "Saved by the Bell" and Dallas Cowboys snap-dropper Tony Romo, singing "Somewhere in the Night" by Journey. Romo really gets into it, and Mr. Belding drops the F-bomb a few times, and, well, it's not for the faint of heart.

It's like somebody accelerated the Eighties to a good fraction of the speed of light, slammed them into a wall, and now we're looking at the spandex-and-hairspray clad particle tracks.

Somehow, "Pop Culture fixed target experiment" just doesn't sound as good. Maybe we could try "pop culture beam dump" or something.

That's to say this isn't a collider. When someone slams the 80's into the 90's and gets the Run DMC version of walk this way that might be a pop culture collider.

I suppose you could argue that the presence of Tony Romo makes this a head-on collision between the '80's and the '00's...
