I think Nicolas has hit the nail on the head here.
At each session of the United States Supreme Court, as the Justices file into the Chamber, the Marshall intones thus: "The Honorable, the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God Save the United States and this Honorable Court!"
Black's Law Dictionary states (I find the last four words amusing): OYEZ. Hear ye. A word used in courts by this public crier to commaned attention when a proclamation is about to be made. Usually pronounced "O yes."

Easy to take a position on either "Hear! Hear!" or "Here! Here!"--circumstances having been taken in consideration.
But even more alluring are the considerations of "Where? Where?"--Where to meet? Where to find one another?
And then the giddily mad cries of young girls facing their closets for that special date: "Wear? Wear?"--What to wear to enchance the enchantment? Ah, that's a sweet cry to heaven for help!

Well, I'm not going to argue over the levels of stupidity which can be reached if you really try. I don't need to. The following is an excerpt from your link: "Quite simply, the collective intelligence level is dropping so rapidly that it's becoming increasingly difficult for producers to insult the intelligence of the American public," said News Corp president and COO Peter Chernin. "Without a way to set a floor for the lowest common denominator, even the stupidest material we can develop is not stupid enough for audiences to enjoy."and "The biggest problem is not that TV shows' plots are too complicated, but that shows have any plots at all. The presence of a plot, however hackneyed, is not palatable to viewers accustomed to programs like Total Request Live or Jackass, which contain no story structure whatsoever," Lowell said. "What's worse, in two or three years, even TRL will be too hard for most people to grasp, because the e-mail requests scrolling across the screen require them to read."Oh, dear, dear, dear-ee me!
