Entertainment is a business.
This business is satisfying the "desires" of it's customer.
We are it's customer.
By each creation's success or failure, we truly shape entertainment's focus.
It's is just an exaggerated extention of our desires.
Culture however, is also a extention of our desires and our interaction.
Whatever we like, stays; whatever we don't, fades.
Yes, there is a basis that we start with,
however this changes throughout time.
And if anything entertainment has sped up & blurred these distinctions & flavors of the moment.
As it has always.
It lends back to the stories we entertained each other with,
these are a "focused" aspects of our culture.
Why we do what we do,
What we would do within a certain cultural situation.
This is a "story", an explaination of humanity,
of what it is to be human.
