Hmmm...

I really don't get it, and perhaps it's just because I'm not a fan. But what is the big damn deal with American Idol? Why have there been reports on the news about what was going on with American Idol as if the judges were deciding the future of mankind? Does American Idol REALLY matter so much to so many people; am I really so out of touch? Or is

I think I know why it is reported on so much. The news will report on whatever makes its ratings go up. That is hwy we hear negative stuff on the news all the time. People watch it more, becuase they want to know everything to be afraid of. Then there is also the idea that people will watch a news story about something else that gets high ratings. The logic is that if we have scenes from a show with high ratings, we can get mooch those ratings too. It is a butt fucking like siutation. The news is butt fucking American Idol by grabbing ratings from them. And the news is giving American Idol a reacharound by giving it more publicity. Gay butt sex is the way of the world

Every year that shows like American Idol continue to reign supreme is a year that I'm forced to ask myself "Is culture dead?" Sadly, it might be. Or, at least, that purer form of culture that has traditionally lasted the test of time.

There are so many people now with so much power to influence popular media, I wonder how much longer this can go on before we're all dithering idiots.
