Interesting piece in The NY Times about Yahoo! News' most-emailed feature and its popularity's implications: "'News tells us what happens,' said Arthur Asa Berger, a professor who teaches about popular culture and the media at San Francisco State University. 'News about news enables us to speculate about all kinds of things, trends in society and the like. And it may be more engaging than the news itself.'" Judging from the current crop of most-emailed photos, I'd say there's a trend in society towards liking young, large-breasted pop stars in tight-fitting clothes -- and runway models. Probably a fad.
