"Fun is a medicinal bath. The pleasure industry never fails to prescribe it. It makes laughter the instrument of the fraud practised on happiness. Moments of happiness are without laughter; only operettas and films portray sex to the accompaniment of resounding laughter."
Theodor Adorno, from
The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception. Adorno was not a fun guy. (via
