Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance.

To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.

People are stupid. There's a lot of dumb stuff that's successful.

The public are not stupid.

Popular culture is simply a reflection of what the majority seems to want.

I think it's always important for academics to study popular culture, even if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it's successful or made a dent in culture, then it is worthy of study to find out why.

Stupidity really gets me going, when it's just plain stupid, obvious stupidity.

Popular culture has become engorged, broadening and thickening until it's the only culture anyone notices.
