I don't see what there is to feel guilty about. I think people just like being told they're intelligent.

If people enjoy reading about Celine Dion's baby, so what? It doesn't mean they're stupid or smart....it just means they like frivolous entertainment once in a while. Judging anyone for a harmless hobby seems pretentious to me.
