  Mean Girls demonstrate how patriarchy shapes young girls, and forces them to behave as sex objects!

  How is this appliable to computers?

  That is so fetch!

  In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?
