Apparently, pool is cool

I've been thinking lately about how I can't go a single day without coming across some sort of pop culture reference to pool. Whether it's an HBO billboard advertisement that features people sitting around a pool table, or a movie trailer I saw on Apple's website (check the one for Beerfest, there's a computer animated shot where a guy makes an insane break) or simply just walking around with my camera, I always seem to notice pool.
