For some reason this reminds me of the sex scene in Being There where Chauncey Gardener watches the TV and mimicks the people kissing, enticing his lover while having no clue what is actually going on. But the TV didn’t show anything beyond kissing, and there is this sudden, awkward break in the chemistry as he coldly stops being physical when the TV show stop showing the physical interaction.

To me, the much larger problem is that people can make a comfortable living simply by filming themselves being assholes.
