Hmm, too smart and funny, better dumb it down a bit'. Nor does my boss hand me a brief that says 'KEEP IT STUPID, SIMPLE!' And, as a side note, nor do I have time to hide penises in ice cubes or airbrush the word 'sex' into soda bubbles. There's no big conspiracy to dumb down the public or titillate the youngsters. But people like to think there is because, well, conspiracy theories are fun!
