Why have I not seen "Trapped in the Closet", the hip-hopera by R. Kelly, yet? 12 episodes have already been released on DVD, and 10 more (13-22) are being released this week - a new one everyday, starting this past Monday - on the IFC website. The NYTimes reminded me this morning of this lapse in my cultural currency (i.e. how does anyone take me seriously without being clued in to this freaky reference point?):

In fact, go right now directly to the IFC Trapped in the Closet page to catch up on all episodes from the beginning. Or, wait until September when IFC airs the "complete saga" on TV. That sounds like an event custom made for a viewing party! "(The Trapped in the Closet series) is the intersection of brilliance and insanity," said Evan Shapiro, the general manager of IFC. Who knew? And how can you say no?
