- 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 and/or culture:
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
