   Yeah, but so do traffic accidents and freak shows...the  need-to-get-a-life   
   crowd clamors for ANY form of 'entertainment'.

   Because those things require too much higher thought processes, and Zombie   
   Robots literally just don't get it.

   inclined to Appreciate the refined forms, they instead seek the  Dumbed-Down
