It's the 'you don't love science, you just like staring at it's butt while it walks by.' argument. However, I would rather people get excited about science, space exploration and related topics than getting excited about the next season of Honey-Boo-Boo's-American-Gold Picking-Diners Drive-In's-and-eventual suicide. Yeah, the IFLS trend isn't going to get us to Mars, but neither is a lot of stuff. Look at it like this, who would you rather people idolize and gush over, the modern day freak show that is TLC (Fat everybody, pretty damn close to a bearded lady, dwarves, etc), or Chris Hadfield?
