Idol Talk

Well, Lakisha has finally worn out her welcome. She's just not likable and this is the second week in a row she's sung and ex-idol's "theme" song. Dang, KiKi, Fantasia just did that one on the same show less than a year ago and you're no Fantasia! (I just realized that's probably the gayest sentence I've ever writtern.) Your only hope is that Phil continues to refuse to grow hair and stays looking like an internet predator.

Best part of the show? Simon, while touring a food bank, shows actual surprise in meeting "nice" people and discovering that people outside the coasts actually help people. You mean Idol hosting a telethon isn't the only organization helping others in America? And those helping aren't paid! Wow! Stunner. That's what happens when the only Americans you talk to appear on television or movies.

Worst part? The whole "tragedy of the starving poor Americans" thing. Honestly, other than those who are mentally or physically unable to operate in our country we don't have anyone "starving" or "poor" when compared to the best off third world country. People need to get out of the American bubble and that doesn't mean taking a cruise to northern Honduras or backpacking in Europe.

That was the first time I watched idol since they went to Hollywood. I too was very entertained that Simon did not know there were food banks in the U.S. Do you suppose they have to do this, because Rosie called them out for being mean?

I feel bad being so cynical. I mean even if it is mostly for selfish gain, and it reveals how very foreign kindness is to these people, at least some helpless people are getting some relief.

We sure have developed a "ruling" class mindset among the elite in America. They really think very little of us hicks and it's simply due to their own ingnorance. The scary part is these people have influnce and power among those who make decisions.
