-> Sometimes.  At least ignorance is curable,  stupidity is another matter
-> entirely...

Very True.

-> And as far as considering stupid to be entertaining,  look at the state of
-> television these days!

Actualt that is why I Don't. 
I watch a few shows. Being Retired Navy "JAG" is a must for me. And
being a FIRM believer in Law & Order I catch a few of those.
the rest is mostly a wasteland of garbage. Particualrly the so called
"Reality" shows.                 
And I won't evew adress the Talk Shows. They are the Bottom of the
Garbage Barrel.
