Yet for some reason, the cardboard box just looks much more entertaining than the toy I'd just purchased for them...

depends of your defininition of entertainment. People found it highly entertaining to watch the slaughter of cattle and humans 2000 years ago - yet now it would be seen as barbaric and a cause of mental instability

RELIGION is the opiate of the masses. Fucksake get your quotes right.

Entertainment is necessary for relaxation and sanity. Entertainment media also serve to share ideas in the process of recreation, which enriches the minds of humanity. Obviously I'm not talking about american idol and faux news.
