While I certainly appreciate many forms of art, I find the attitude of, "fuck entertainment" too limiting (and perhaps a little pretentious). There can be many layers to crafted objects and pop culture is not always as vapid as it may appear to be at first blush.
But then, to me, meaning does not reside in the author or the work but in the interpretation of the work by the viewer (and yes, there is intention and "meaning" in a work but I think the final meaning lies in how it is "read" by the audience).
As to the original post, how far is too far... I have to think on that some more.
