WASHINGTON D.C. — Following decades of intense, often violent, debate over which four action films truly define the genre, a coalition of pop culture critics and think-tank analysts has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative: the creation of a 'Mount Rushmore' for literally everything. The move aims to bring definitive, unassailable order to the chaotic landscape of human achievement and consumption.

“For too long, society has grappled with the subjective nature of taste,” stated Dr. Evelyn Thorne, lead researcher for the newly formed National Cultural Canonization Board (NCCB). “But no more. From now on, whether it’s the Mount Rushmore of artisanal cheeses, regional fast-food mascots, or even particularly good naps, we will identify the top four. It’s the only way to ensure cultural literacy.”

The NCCB’s initial rollout includes the Mount Rushmore of awkward first dates (featuring 'the one where you spilled soup,' 'the one with the ex-girlfriend call,' 'the one with the silent protest,' and 'the one where you accidentally proposed'), the Mount Rushmore of lukewarm coffee experiences, and the Mount Rushmore of forgotten passwords.

“The public craves certainty,” added NCCB spokesperson Chad Broderick, adjusting his bespoke 'Mount Rushmore of Mount Rushmores' lapel pin. “They don’t want to think; they want to know. And we’re here to tell them. Our proprietary algorithm, which factors in everything from critical consensus to internet comment section vitriol, guarantees objective truth.”

Critics of the initiative, largely dismissed as 'subjectivity apologists,' expressed concern that the constant stream of top-four lists might stifle genuine appreciation or nuance. However, the NCCB remains steadfast, already planning the Mount Rushmore of complaints about Mount Rushmores.
