I think it's on a par with that "most popular news show" bit they do -- to which my response is, "Who the hell CARES if it's POPULAR -- is it SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW?" Essentially pandering to the audience so as to deliver them to the advertisers. Infotainment has always been a slut, and simplistic religion has always been...well...popular.

What they never figure out is that the world is ending all the time. And beginning all the time. Because they're living in a storybook and have intensely mixed feelings about getting to what's supposed to be the last chapter -- unaware that it's actually a series, one of many, in a proprietary universe (also one of many). One thing about explosions, though -- they sure do drown out ambivalence and nuance so ya don't have ta *think* about all that crap, Pilgrim.
