" If Ellen and The Cannibal Queen aren't upset and think it's a joke, then it must be all right and you override your own good judgement in lieu of what "authority" tells you to think. It's called "conditioning".

It's much worse than that. Watching TV induces low alpha waves and suspends THINKING. You're in a highly suggestive, passive state so your brain is "taking it all in."

Upvoat for you. You're absolutely right. I didn't even think of that. It might be why I almost fell off the couch when the cannibalism came up in conversation. I was in this passive state and JOLTED awake .... that's exactly what it felt like, too.
