"… pop culture is nerd culture. The fans of Real Housewives of Hoboken watch, discuss, and absorb their show the same way a geek watched Dark Shadow or obsessed over his eighth-level half-elf ranger character in Dungeons & Dragons. It’s the method of consumption, not what’s on the place."

- Patton Oswalt, “Wake Up, Geek Culture.  Time to Die.” Wired Magazine, Jan 2011.

I like the notion of  the “method of consumption”, powered by the Internet, as Patton observed earlier in the article.
