Not to mention a nation of morons who are easily reminded that they are always hungry. You can't turn on the TV without seeing a McDonalds commercial in 5 minutes.

Although I have to say, some people are smarter because of some TV programs. Look at the Discovery network: Discovery Channel, History Channel, Health Channel. Although the fact that we're too busy watching SpongeBob to do our homework...aka...we're too busy watching a guy in his underpants running around to liberate ourselves from darkness of mind, this says volumes.
