: : Remember Star Search with Ed McMahon?
: : American idol is the same thing. Just with more pedestrian contestants, less variety, and trading any actual talent for money-making potential.
: : But that's just what I think. I could be wrong.
: Yeah, this was my take on it too. I just felt so strange, like a member of another race, or alien visiting from another planet....I mean, when everyone was discussing it and looked at me like they had just seen a ghost when I asked just what it was.....
American Idol, for a few fleeting seconds i thought this was some old movie that you had just discovered, like an old Grease or something. then i realized you guys were talking about that awful tv show that i refuse to watch. o my goosh, that crappy piece of shinola is the epitomy of what john was talking about, the living moving and hopefully soon to be dying symbol of complete and utter meaningless mediocrity. i stand over it and thrust a spear through its bizarre head, pinning it to the ground. it must die finally and shamefully and utterly. i spit upon it, yeah. what a collosal waste of time.
