This is my somewhat faulty explanation: The masses are unintelligent, and crap appeals to unintelligence, but crap also appeals to the intelligent who want to experience unintelligence. So everybody loves crap (except for the pedantic classicists) and everybody=$.

Crap can be manufactured, crap can be controled, crap is easily understood, crap is everywhere.
