'Infotainment' comes from an old Lakota Sioux term which means, 'he who rapes wallet.'

I work in Engineering and we deal with realities, I always thought I would like to try to work in Marketing and deal with make believes.

I would love to sit around and make up Stupid Azz names like Infotainment and get paid for it.

Really though, I think it would drive me crazy. In Engineering, there are a lot of challenges, but overcoming those challenges is rewarding. How can you go home in the evening and think "All I did today was come up with a lame azz name like Infotainment?

Info and entertainment I really do not see what's so hard to understand. Seems like the right name to me.
