Popular Culture
Singapore's ERP system has inspired Jack Neo to write a film. In Money No Enough 2 (钱不够用2), the movie's starting had shown ERP gantries placed all around the island, making the people finally protest, and they somehow had thrown ERP gantries into a river. Also, the film had severe criticism about ERP, mentioning that other Heads of States get taxes in a peacable manner, while the Singaporean government "sucks in" the money.
The ERP is sometimes referred to as "Exorbitant Road Pricing" by locals and taxi drivers.

“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.”
—Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
