Just had an interesting comment from my friend Nurmi, remarking that vacuous would be a step up in the US. Could it be that they’ve all been crapping themselves ever since since the great 1976 movie ‘Network‘? Its message was, ‘Get too controversial and eventually someone in the audience will step up and blow you away.’ There is a wonderful line in that movie: “You are television incarnate . . . indifferent to suffering, insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality.”
