Time for a name change...

We started this site originally as 3 Point 5 Stars because we couldn't think of a better name and because Bill suggested it. Bill thought that it was a good idea because he was always intrigued by how unless something is universally hated, it will average out to 3.5 stars on Amazon.com because fans that are mad at the bad reviews will pump it up to off set the bad reviews. This is the problem with the review system. People sometimes try to vote honestly by giving something they liked, but had a few problems with just four stars, but then others who haven't even honestly listened or watched the title in question will give it just one star.

For example, the newest Ann Coulter or Al Franken book will get five stars from their fans to offset the one star reviews posted by people that openly haven't read the book, but "don't have to to know that it sucks!" or from people that skimmed it while in the airport bookstore and therefore are qualified to comment on the whole book.

That premise is still a basis on some of our views, but I thought it pigeonholed the site, so we're changing it to something equally as kind of stupid, Pop Vultures. I guess it's a commentary on how we all feed on the remains of Pop Culture.
