I know we fashion ourselves as arbiters of taste here, but a well rounded individual has guilty pleasures that he or she enjoys from time to time. I'll list some of mine.
--Celebrity gossip-yes I find myself reading Us and Star from time to time. I have a colleague who brings them in to work and I can't help myself. It's almost therapeutic to read about other people's problems.
--Herooes--nuff said
--Cheesy, low budget, straight to video movies
--80s music, especially pop.
-
Life is too short to feel guilty about your pleasures.
-
Transformers.
Anything from the horror genre.
70s vintage pornography.
I liked the N64.
I bought a copy of Empire of Shadows when I was a teenager.
-
Boobs, I love them.
-
Porn
chocolate/food in general
genre fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc)
cheesy 80's era butt rock
-
Actually, probably video games. After a 2-3 hour gaming session I usually feel guilty that I could have done something better with my time.
-
Oh fuck, I forgot:
the internets. God I feel so bad after wasting hours and hours on the internets accomplishing nothing.
-
-- I'm a bit into Horoscopes... even though I don't even take heed of the messages. Compatibility is an area I may act on though ;_;
-- Richard Marx, I like two of his tracks (Hazard, Endless Summer Nights)
-- Definitely 80's music
-- I'm a sap, so I tend to listen to music for saps
-
genre fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc)
some genre fiction is some of the best fiction being made.
unless you're regularly picking up stuff from Baen. Then I can't help you.
my own guilty pleasure is probably 80s superhero comics.
Man, Reagan done fucked up our national psyche

Exactly the same as yours, minus heroes.
I always browse people/us weekly and I have a decent number of celeb gossip blogs I read. :-\
-
- Bad hip hop/R&B (awesome to dance to)
- clothing/fashion communities on livejournal
- Those 'real life' stories in trashy magazines, like 'my mum had my brother's baby' or whatever
- Nip/Tuck
I could go on...
-
- korean starcraft broadcasts , sometimes live when I wake up early and can't go back to bed, other times on youtube (so pissed FlaSh lost this morning :-\ )
- warhammer 40k novels (from time to time, and only the "good" ones)
- cold brew tea bags
- tech romancer
-
There are good Warhammer 40K novels?

emphasis on the quotation marks, though I suppose I should have said "less bad". Dan Abnett's stuff is not unreadable.
speaking of cheeseball scifi, I also totally dig honor harrington.

Backstreet boys.

secretly knowing i'm your dad

I don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures.

Shitty horror films

Shitty novels related to TV/movies I like (all of them are mostly shit, inspired by tehjaybo's massive MTG novel set in his room)
The Star Wars Prequels
-
Yeah, anime. Well, not so much right now. I don't watch it anymore.
Videogames in general is a guilty pleasure.
-
Eurodance
-
jrpgs
See, I really have no compunctions about playing jrpgs. I probably should, but I don't play the konex stuff... well, I did play Xenosaga I and II last year... damn, what have I become? :(
-
Yeah, Xenosaga is pretty bottom rung. I've only really played I and partially II. But this is coming from someone who likes Xenogears :'(
-
larping and gay sex
also cocks
-

I like Xenogears a lot, despite its flaws... thought Xenosaga 1 was horrible and don't even want to play the others (since I hear 2 is even worse than the first one).

You played Persona 3 as well

I don't have guilty pleasures, I'm European ffs!
-
80s music is NOT a guilty pleasure. It's an awesome pleasure.
But Kylie's music is a guilty pleasure.

My former boss recommended this to me earlier to me when I was describing the recent EVE drama.
-
- I love pop music. Except in the past 3 years. Stuff from the 80s, 90s, and earlier this decade, I love it.
- The internet. I complain about the thousands upon thousands of hours and words wasted here but it needs repeating. I tell nobody in real life what I do on the internet. They probably assume that it's porn.
-
-Anime that no self-respecting adult male should ever watch, much less admit to watching.
-The 1980's, even though I barely remember anything at all from that decade due to being born at the tail end of 1986.

I dont' think I've worn pajamas since I was like... I actually don't remember. Its mostly been what Malek has posted... sometimes full on nude... so nude.
-
I'm a never nude.
-
Target: Terror- I've played many better light gun shooters, but it never takes itself seriously, so it's all good. :-*
Hell, any video game made by Eugene Jarvis will fall under this category.
Hm, also Nickelback and the Fast and the Furious films, too. :-*

What is "straight" cheeseburger porn?
-
I'd guess cheeseburger on girl, but I'm pretty sure the cheeseburger negates any use of the term straight.
-
N-sync(Dirty Pop <3)
Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy
Maplestory
Those shitty Korean MMOS that are released to the US every other day
General [M]ayhem
Linkin Park
Swat Katz
Porn(WHY CANT I STOP)
7chan
Encyclopedia Dramatica
Dirty Pop was produced by none other than BT, that's probably why it's the only boy-band/Justin Timberlake/bubblegum pop song I can stand to listen to.
-
I've been hearing John Mayer, Where the light is, Live, on my MP3 the last couple of days.
I really like it. I don't know if i should feel guilty about it though!?
