In Popular Culture
- In a 1995 episode of The Simpsons entitled Bart vs. Australia, a brief image of an animated Jackson as part of his Energizer ad campaign of the late 1980s appeared in a slideshow. The slideshow was a collection of images depicting Australian cultural icons which were gradually losing commercial appeal in the United States. The imagery was presented to the Simpson family before Bart was due to appear in an Australian court over fraud charges.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Education must, then, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
