The Do-It-Yourself Approval Matrix
These screenshotare the times to judge men's souls. And with the fully digitized, DSL-equipped means of flinging opinion at the Web, just about anyone can assert what's cool and what's not. But so many conflicting views can make it hard to take stock of the general mood. Enter New York Magazine's flashy DIY Approval Matrix. Each day, the periodical's editors post some trend, act, or event to the grid. You decide: Is it brilliant or despicable? High-brow or low? After sliding each item towards its appropriate classification, view how others have voted on such cultural happenings as:
  • "Dressing slutty for Halloween. The Times calls it a trend."
  • "Take note, Frosty: Pope John Paul II's life is now a Christmas cartoon."
  • "Endy Chavez's Game-7, sixth-inning, home-run-stealing impossible catch."
'Cause it's not just Heidi Klum who decides who's in and who's out. The judgment is, also, up to you. (in Contests, Quizzes, and Polls)
