which came first, the chicken or the egg? the bbc used to have a rule that entertainment programs had to be sandwiched in between educational programming, and that the explicit purpose of the entertainment was to lure viewers in to watch the educational stuff also. then the masses decided that was patronising and paternalistic, and they as individuals knew what they wanted, and all they wanted to watch was mindless pablum. satellite tv didnt even bother with the pretence of being anything but. so if they decide to be sheep, how can you blame a wolf for preying upon such easy meals.
