American Idol, which I watch sporadically at best, has gotten to the point that I just feel cruel watching it. Like, the show is MADE to put people through emotional hell. I'm all for shit like that in movies and books . . . but I don't really like seeing people actually suffer. Life is rough enough as it is without a TV show jerking you around

It is! I was watching last night because Diana keeps bugging me to get caught up and it just . . . made me feel really horrible. There are people there who clearly have mental or emotional issues . . . and the TV show is totally banking on it. It upsets me a lot.

I've stopped watching it. I feel bad laughing at the people on Idol...I'm fine laughing at the ho's on Rock of Love Bus or at the Housewives of Orange County, but Idol just isn't what it used to be.
