It implies that despite our intellectual capabilities, humans can succumb to the influence of emotions in decision-making processes, sometimes overriding our logical thinking.

The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there's some intelligence behind the cartoons, and there's a lot of work that's gone into it, so it can't all be just a lie.
