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.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #2 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:43:20 PM »

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.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #4 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:45:33 PM »

Porn

chocolate/food in general

genre fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc)

cheesy 80's era butt rock

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:47:02 PM »

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.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:48:57 PM »

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

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

Magic: The Gathering novels. I absolutely love them. My favorite block was Odyssey. Favorite character and storyline was Chainer for some reason.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #25 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:05:21 PM »

Yeah, anime. Well, not so much right now. I don't watch it anymore.

Videogames in general is a guilty pleasure.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #28 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:51:04 PM »

Yeah, Xenosaga is pretty bottom rung. I've only really played I and partially II. But this is coming from someone who likes Xenogears :'(

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).

But Kylie's music is a guilty pleasure.

- 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.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #36 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:12:12 PM »

-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.

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.

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!?
