I totally agree, but to be fair as well, we're part of a program that creates a sports(something we're trying to de-emphasize, according to Dean Kamen)-like environment in order to promote science and engineering. How much different is it to create a Hollywood(also on Kamen's list of overhyped parts of our culture)-like environment to promote science and engineering? To a certain degree, if you want to convince people to change, you have to connect with something that is significant to them as they are now. Unfortunately.
