Meaningless or not, it's still a program without the graphics, and graphics alone do not constitute a program. A program does not have to be useful to be a program...

If it does not function, then it is not a full program. If it is dependent on graphics in order to perform its function, then those graphics are part of the program.

A program is source code, or the executable produced by the program. That's it. It does not have to be useful. It does not have to even be functional. It's still a program, regardless of whether it does what it's supposed to or not.

There are other licences for graphic and music. You can use the Open Music Lincence for music. There are also some "GPLed" grpahics.

By default, only your source is GPLed.

And even if you take the gfx of a open source program, you can't be sure that the person who wrote the code had the rights for the gfx.

Say I'm coding a game and Richard pixels some sprites. I release the games under the GPL. But - I don't have any rights (but the right to use it for that single game) on the gfx. So, if you're using the gfx, Richard could sue you.

It's that easy. And there's not much room for arguing, since the laws are pretty clear here.
