Oh yeah I totally forgot about the most obvious example of how silly this idea is. Pornography.

If you look at entertainment in general, porn sits at the very pinnacle of everything. Movies, books, games, music, you name it. Obviously, porn has the highest quality of "entertainment" and has absolutely NOTHING to do with our basic instinct of reproduction. Nothing at all, all high quality shit right there.

Pornography is a high demand product, but few pornographic movies come close to the sales of the worst independent movies. On top of this, comparing two very different markets (pornography to entertainment) to judge quality of the products within these markets doesn’t make sense; after all, is there any metric we could use to judge the quality of a movies vs. the worldwide supply of Wheat?

Which is why I wasn't looking at pornography on the individual scale, but on the whole as an entertianment medium. Pornography as a whole is more popular than any other given entertainment medium. I am not judging the quality of the products within these media, I am outright judging the entertainment as a whole by popularity, or "sales," if you will. Also, I am certain that pornography falls under entertainment, hence comparing it against other entertainment media is perfectly valid. Obviously food isn't an entertainment.I am basically saying that pornography is a higher quality entertainment than books, due to more popularity. Which sounds as utterly dumb and retarded as saying sales=quality.

As for your metric that you asked about, that was the whole point of this laughable topic.
