Popped Culture

When movie studios bankroll an expensive film, they hope to get some of their investment back by selling movie merchandise.

Director James Cameron pointed out the trouble the studio faced trying to protect its huge investment in the story of the ocean liner that sank: "You can't do a sequel. You can't put out a Titanic toy line. And you can't make an amusement park ride out of it because people would think they wouldn't come out of the ride."

Put down that hot dog. It's a crime and a sin. Well, it once was. In the third century, the Catholic Church declared sausages a sin. A hundred years later, Constantine the Great, Rome's Christian emperor, declared sausages illegal. Why? Because they were part of the libertine rituals practiced at a pagan festival for the Roman god Lupercus. But the sausage prohibition didn't work. Bootleg butchers continued to make sausages, and people ate them illegally behind closed doors. Eventually, the government gave up, and the sausage prohibition was repealed.
