ANYONE CAN ANSWER THIS! =D?

I'm covering the pop culture spread in my yearbook. basically I just want to get some ideas of major pop culture events this past year to discuss. I'm going to send out a m survey to homerooms in my school but before I do that I kinda wanna get a general idea of what people will be saying so that I can ask more specific questions. So here's the job for you guys! ... Anyone who reads this, just think for a second about anything interesting in pop culture that you've heard about this year, whether it be entertainment, science, politics, anything, and let me know! To give you a few examples, I have stuff like... Taylor swift and kanye ordeal, obama, twilight...etc. It would really help me a lot if I got your opinion! Thanks to all in advance!
