People are drawn to spectacle. The UAE does it with their cities, the Brits do it with their pomp and pageantry, the Yanks do it with college football and their NYE celebrations in Times Square, the North Koreans do it with their military parades, the Brazilians do it with Carnivale. It's one thing we're terrible at.
God forbid that we'd want to be entertained.
