That's TV.
The whole viewing world has been conditioned that way. I briefly worked on a set-top box for a major media distributor and you'd be shocked by the support calls, when TV stops working, people freak the ef out. TV stops working and it's within a couple days of a major cultural type event (final episode of some show, the start or end of dancing with the stars or whatever is hot at the moment, the superbowl, etc...) and they really freak out. Grandmas using profanity, issuing threats, etc..
I quit watching TV after seeing that stuff.
