Note that I don't count Radiohead as Britpop. If I did, then "OK Computer" would be at the very top of the list - beating even Dodgy at their best.

For example, I remember from back in high school my teacher telling me a story about how a kid in the class happened to be afraid of cotton balls. This was discovered when for some reason or another, she placed a cotton ball on the desk and he freaked out. Needless to say, the next day everyone in the class brought in cotton balls, and the kid freaked out. Now, is this a malicious act that clearly hurt someone? Absolutely. Do I think, as horrible as it was to do to the kid, that throwing cotton balls on his desk was funny? Yes, I do, because I personally believe such a phobia is extremely random and hilarious. Should people have gone to my high school and made the act of importing a cotton ball into the building an offense (for both staff and students)? Of course not. That's silly.

My dad put a bunch of hardcore porn in my bedroom closet when I was 12 (the same year he made me get stoned with him). The first sex-related thing I ever saw was a magazine called "Raunchy," whose cover had a close-up of a woman's crotch with a cucumber in her vagina and a carrot in her asshole. I found it on a Sunday morning before church, and my dad told me later that day that he was "proud" of me for looking at it.

My mom, on the other hand, gave me a book by Dr. James Dobson about adolescence. She highlighted a section of the book where it said Jesus never masturbated, plus she cut out an Ann Landers column and put it on my bedroom door. It said that if you masturbated you were no longer a virgin.

Suffice it so say my parents were divorced.
