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.
