I could rant and rave about the necessity under corporate capitalism to alleviate the tedious nature of the worker drone lifestyle, but who would want to listen to me?

People like to escape to a funnier, sexier, more pleasant place. A place where people can be in control of their lives, and I can understand that completely.
What I do tend to dislike is that what might be called political art is criticised for its demand that you think and because it can be used as propaganda, whilst escapist art is not, despite it almost exclusively being propaganda or at least a numbing against the painful realities of life.
