Just like Super Hero movies.
Just like gangsta rappers.
Just like NFL football.
Just like reality TV.
They just find some bullshit that morons like, and they pump it out like a machine to make money. The sheeple keep on tuning in. The cycle continues until the money dries up.

WTF, make a show on astronauts or cowboys, or Zorro or some shit.
