2/5/11  The Entertainment Curve

      Infrequently Answered Question #55: Why can't I find any entertainment that's both smart and exciting?

      A: Because such a thing does not exist. It's a universal truth that smart things are dull and exciting things are dumb. However the opposite isn't always the case, dumb things are not always exciting nor are dull things always smart.

      Basically dumb things stimulate the primitive part of the brain and primitives are just highly excitable. That's why there are soccer hooligans but no chess riots.
