What do I care? I politics am pretty much retired. But isn’t there a basic misunderstanding politics of popular culture rampant among the pop culture gurus? Is popular culture – which I grew up with and still attend to, alertly one day, idly the next, like almost every person I have ever met – really so linear in its progression and so narrowly confined by pop guru tastes? Let us make politics one point about the Kylie’s arse article before dropping it forever. We are told that Kylie and a couple of other other underwear endorsers have made us sexy to ourselves and the world, sweeping aside the other representations of Australianness mentioned above, highlighting our feminine side, freeing us from the blokiness of our paragons hitherto. But, to put it in some perspective, Kylie and her trademark bum and trademark underpants were world famous before the crocodile hunter revived ‘crikey’, which then became his trademark ‘crikey’ of course.
