This page contains: 
 * general lists of things you should watch in order to understand RAP lab jokes
 * person-specific media recommendations.

This information is '''''very serious'''''. Media slouches will be mercilessly nagged and bombarded with confusing references.

'''Page Development Note:''' Ari tried to make this page based on Dr. Matt's word-cloud of recommendations, so it should probably be reviewed by Dr. Matt.
