I think it's to do with relaxation - we can watch the fun, or ignore it if we
desire. Sorta like the fish channel. Our local Melbourne broadcaster also plays
fish swimming around when it has nothing else to show - and actually advertises

And the music they play along with it helps too - maybe o-t.debate should have
a soundtrack? Enya, anyone???
