The Katie Couric Rule

Peter Hartlaub at the San Francisco Chronicle writes about when a fad goes from Wired to Tired, as Wired Magazine used to say. (Heck, they may still say it; I long ago tired of Wired.) His example is those silicone wristbands everybody's wearing for every reason, or no reason at all. And his measure of over-ed-ness is Katie Couric: when she uses it, you know it's passé. Can't argue with that.
