Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? What if we lived in a world where the answer was always the latter? What happens if everything becomes subject to the demands of entertainment? What if journalism, education, politics, and even religion all became based on entertainment and were practised solely for the purpose of more entertainment? What would that world be like? Would it be in any way similar to the world we live in today?_x000D_
