The "Arts and Entertainment" channel. A&E. Oh my.

Arts?
Not so much.
Entertainment?
Possibly for the redneck viewers and redneck voyeurs.

"Duck Dynasty"
A family of bearded men who evidently made a fortune from their unique duck calls.

A&E sucks.
Major.

citizens going to the Colosseum for entertainment except people get to watch from their homes. It appalls me how much reality TV some of the people I know watch.

It is all part of the dumbing down of American society

That's exactly what the PTB want! Reduce everything to the lowest common denominator. Dumb down the populace so they can only vote Republican and shop at Wal-Mart.
