The Tyranny of Meager Minds

Now look, I'm not trying to say that everybody else is dumb. Far from it; I'm just saying that there *are* an awful lot of stupid and/or closed-minded people who marginalize certain aspects of culture because of horrific bastardizations of quality work. This cartoon (shamelessly lifted from UserFriendly) is an example of this, and a situation that I have run into personally a number of times.
