In Popular Culture
The fair plays a major part in the seventh season episode of The Simpsons, "Bart on the Road", where Bart gets a fraudulent driver's license and he and three classmates go on a road trip to the fair after reading about it in an information guide in their rental car, having not noticed the guide book was extremely outdated. When they arrive, the fairgrounds are dilapidated and a wig store has been using the Sunsphere as a warehouse.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
