But..but..but my momma said (Pop Culture Literacy)
As I watch the end of Waterboy starring Adam Sandler. I realized that there is definitely reference to literacy. The main character, Bobby Boucher, grew up as a "dumb" boy that was the waterboy to a football team full of bullies all his life. He had an awful stutter and knew only what his momma told him. Once his hidden talent for tackling was discovered, he joined the football team and went to college and became a new man. The literacy part of the movie is the dialect and lifestyle Bobby lived before and after taking his new path toward fame and education. Bobby spoke broken English and lived a dirty swamp life. He was socially inept and suffered due to being overly protected by his overbearing crazy mother.

Technology is dumb!!! It's become more and more apparent that it's affecting our society in negative ways. I wish we could go back to the good ol' days of using our time in a useful, not technological, way ya know? Technology is changing our brains into a bowl of mashed potatoes. LOL
