Not to mention it doesn't belong into the academic world. Soon enough schools will be handing out diplomas and degrees for every nonsense that "enriches the society."

Please, define academic world for me. Take a look around you, the public good needs design, colour, entertainment, and enrichment. Great, someone goes to school for chemistry and helps out with cures and medical science. But it is ALSO great on a different level that someone goes to school for fine arts, architecture, literature etc and develops a beautiful piece of art or a magnificent building that creates discussion, awe, and enrichment to society. Each field of "study" at a university helps create a well rounded society. Independent of income of course
