Welcome to the new Blade blog Culture Shock, a three-times-a-week riff by Pop Culture Editor Kirk Baird on pop culture news, events, and trends. The blog will appear Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings here, with the odd night or off-day posting if something is merited.
Some random links to entertain, bewilder, and make your Wednesday that much more interesting.
Live-action Super Mario Bros. (And no, this isn t a clip from the god-awful movie)
William Shatner isn t the only Star Trek actor with singing aspirations ....
Talk about product placement ... and in a popular cartoon no less ...
