That may be true, but it doesn't mean that the rest of us should be forced to watch the lowest common denominator crap like America Idol and DWTS.

If the Roman Empire had TV, they would have aired shows like Idol right before the Fall.

"The decline of the Roman Empire refers to the societal collapse encompassing both the gradual disintegration of the political, economic, military, and other social institutions of Rome and the barbarian invasions that were its final doom."

We are being invaded, the economy sucks, the military is under constant threat of downsizing, and Dancing with the stars has higher ratings than a show that actually makes you think.

/rant off.
