the corporate whore

i waded through some headlines tonight from AP news then scanned the entertainment news headlines. one caught my eye: did anyone not watch american idol?

well, the answer was yes some people didn't, of course. but according to the nielsen
rating something like 15 percent of the u.s. watched the freaking show. incredible.

turns out three people who didn't watch the show tuesday and wednesday were dawn, me and our friend krista. we have watched in the past and used to catch the show all the time, feverishly checking out thecontestants at the start of the season, who was good, who sucked and who simon bitched at, while paula gushed and randy called everyone "dawg."

we decied to stop watching the lunacy of the show. it's the same shit, different year thing. these early shows are all the same. nothing changes from year to year. we all know there will be some jerk-wad trying to sing and simon will crush him or her. the judges will laugh or try to suppress laughter. then the contestant will act shocked when he or she is rejected. big flipping deal. i think we saw that in season one.

the show has become a corporate whore, raking in billions of dollars. well you know what? you can suck on that because that show ain't getting shit from me anymore. i got better things to do than to sit and watch paula abdul try and undermine simon cowell, who will act like a snot rag to someone she likes.

the whow's become a joke. i got tired of watching it as it grew into this cess pool of unwatchable trash tv.

so perhaps 41 million people decided to sit and mull over who could be the next winner, give a few yucks at the sucky people and sit around waiting for next week. not me , baby. the show is over.

idol this, brother.
