A form of lowest-common-denominator entertainment designed to appeal to the masses and dissuade people from thinking.
— At the other extreme were those who foresaw growing international inequality—“a 20 to 80 world, a one-fifth society in which those left out will have to be pacified by tittytainment” (tits plus entertainment)—or “a deepening international anarchy” as “market forces and shrinking natural resources drag sovereign states into ever more dangerous rivalries.”
词源
Blend of titty + entertainment, in reference to the pacifying effect of watching TV, similar to that of a child sucking on its mother's breast. Hans-Peter Martin and Harald Schumann claim in The Global Trap that it was coined by Polish-American diplomat and political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski.
