Who watches shows like Millonaire Matchmaker, The Girls Next Door, Pimp My Ride, Snoop Dog's Fatherhood (or whatever it's called), Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Truck U, Bullrun, professional wrestling, etc? The list goes on and on and on.

Sorry for the long post, but I'm hoping someone can educate me. What gives?

The average viewer is an idiot. Yes, your taste can be that different from the average Joe.

Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy? You should watch it. It's not that far off from the current state of the world.
