- The Simpsons character Ned Flanders is an alumnus of Oral Roberts University. In one episode, Ned mentions his membership in a fraternity, although Oral Roberts University does not have formal fraternities. In another episode, Flanders' degree can be seen hanging on the wall of the Simpsons' home, as Homer scratches out the name "Ned Flanders" and scribbles in his own.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture and/or popular:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
