Overanalysis

[lovefromgirl]

Family Feud's end game appears to be an exercise in conformist thinking. If you come up with a remotely creative answer, you lose. If you come up with an answer that is not white and middle-class, ditto, because some of these most popular answers are stuck in the modern American 'burbs. (Their answer for "food that is either white or brown"? I'm German. Of course I think of bread. Other people think of eggs, and one of today's responses was "hamburger". Which, yeah. It can. But the answer itself was rice. I guess if you're Asian...?)

And of course a hundred married women will only own to kissing one frog before they find their prince. I only know one married woman who can say that *cough*Rose*cough* -- even my mother dated around, and you really wouldn't think of her as the dating kind.

Huh. Bread was the first thing that came to mind for me, too.

Sausages.

Hmmm maybe I spent too much time in Germany too :-)

Bread, as well. Sausages might be an even more German answer, of course (especially if you're Bavarian!).
