The worst part is its probably not just limited to stupidity. I'm sure it effects over all personality, like say, a person's views on people's of different races, cultures, or sexes (HELLO misogyny). Check this commentary on video games: http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/propaganda-games


Darq: racism, ethnocentrism and misogny are all examples of stupidity.

Well yeah, but it's WAY more overt on reality TV.
