		<description>Well, that&#039;s a non sequitur. Just because something is a source of entertainment doesn&#039;t mean it is inherently good. There is plenty of entertainment that doesn&#039;t have much redeeming value in the long run.

There is nothing good about entertainment if it does little more than occupy one&#039;s time.  If it doesn&#039;t teach, or shape us in some positive way.  If it displaces other activities that would be more beneficial (exercise, creative thinking, reading, interacting with others, etc), then entertainment could be considered detrimental, especially if people entertain themselves for excessive periods of time to the exclusion of more useful activities.</description>
