However, I think games (video or board or card) develop this ability more than TV and movies do. Also, there's a tradeoff of sorts, because I think TV and games make us a little less articulate (especially when compared with reading or conversation). Finally, pop culture shows us how to make connections, but reading, intelligent conversation, and "real" experience provide us with the raw materials. There are some folks who are good at making connections between different ideas, but they only have three or four ideas to connect. Still, overall, I'm glad that pop culture is getting more respect these days. I haven’t read this one yet, but in my personal experience pop culture helps me to make connections.

I can't get enough of it either and I talk about it so much that I've gotten four of my coworkers to start watching. It's a delicious trainwreck. Rock of Love is indeed poison.

Or I get to throw rocks at him. But Everything Bad Is Good For You was a cool book. I don't get to watch Weeds until it goes to DVD...but I'm hip deep in Deadwood season 3 right now, and then I want to watch more of The Wire. The bonus of trying out a pink hair color means that you are trying a new and different experience. New experiences are good for your brain!
