I suspect that doing that all day, all year would eventually bore even not-so-dumb people (say, IQ 85).
The number of Farmville posts on my Facebook wall serves as a counterexample to this claim.
I had interpreted "click on cows and win points" literally. I've never played FarmVille, but I guess it's a constructionand management simulation game, and as such not that boring. (I spent plenty of time playing Sim City, Roller Coaster Tycoon and Age of Empires back in the day.)
In terms of richness of gameplay, Farmville is closer to "click on cows and win points" than to Sim City or Roller Coaster Tycoon. It may be closer to those in terms of graphics and the diversity of choices you have, it's just that those choices are not very deep (you won't need to balance any feedback loops or anything, you can just put anything that looks pretty).
And of course there's the actual Cow Clicker game.
