FOX Reality = Bread and Circus?

Soundbite from a TV commercial for a new channel:

FOX Reality
All reality all the time,
because you just can't get enough!

Does that scare you as much as it does me? How insane has the general US public become? I understand the 'State' wants the pleabs to go down the whole Roman bread and circus route, but really, are we as a nation just that witless?

Don't most people have anything better to do than watch other people pretend to be living real life?
