Cher scholar Robrt sent me this link today: Margaret Thatcher Hashtag Confuses Cher Fans<\/a><\/p>\n

As I mentioned to him, the headline irks me for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Not only fans were confused, and<\/li>\n
  2. The headline and article play into the media's idea that
    \nCher fans, particularly Americans it pains to point out, are dumb and entertainment-obsessed. Forget the fact that we do <\/em>give off this impression for a minute. Did you
    \never see that story about how certain lawyers were asking jury pools if
    \nthey were Cher fans…because Cher fans are more gullible:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Howard Varinsky, the jury consultant for prosecutors
    \nin the Martha Stewart case, who advises potential jurors be asked who
    \ntheir favorite famous person is. Varinsky told Crowley that a person who
    \nchooses Ronald Reagan rather than Cher, for example, might be too smart
    \nfor defense lawyers to accept in a complex case. \u201cIn a case where you
    \nhave a lot of complex information to process, I think you would want
    \nsomebody who likes Cher.\u201d<\/em>     Source<\/a><\/p>\n

    Cher fans need to do what that New Mexico liscence plate recommended to me last Thursday, Nerd Up!<\/p>\n

    #nowthatchersdead — why are those Brits always so verbose anyway?<\/p>\n
