  A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy helping of
  popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public
  relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that,
  showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering
  the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little
  questions: “To watch or not to watch _South Park_?” Thinking deeply about TV,
  movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make
  you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth
  living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.
