Dammit I hate American Idol, and not just for the obvious reasons and the fact that it’s a tool of the Devil (to vote call 1-800-IDOL-666). What I’d like to see is someone go up there and sing Number of the Beast and dedicate it to Rupert Murdoch. The fact is that every station that airs the show has to rearrange their schedules around its time slots. What kind of a world are we living in when one television show controls an entire stations schedule just to suit FOX’s time slot?
One of the things that bothers me about this show is the judges. Who made these idiots the be-all, end-all; ultimate voice in what is good singing and what makes a star? What is their purpose past the second round? They don’t eliminate anyone anymore contestants. So why are they there? And why should Simon Cowell have the right to criticize the way people look or dress? The guy never changes his clothes! He wears the same thing every day!
What bothers me more though (and most) are these die hard fans of the show (Editors note: the word “die” can be replaced with “blow”. It doesn’t really matter which one you use). The stations may rearrange their schedules, but the majority of these people rearrange their lives to watch these fucking clownshoes belt out a tune that they would never listen to under any other circumstances even if their lives depended on it. They argue about which singer is best when in reality they don’t give a shit about them, and after the seasons over won’t ever buy the CD of the person who won, or even take the time to download any of the songs that they put out.
But I guess there’s nothing I can do about any of this. Who am I compared to a huge corporation like FOX or a legion of fans. I just like to keep this one little paranoia in mind though: with all these other Idols’s popping up all over the world pretty soon nothing will stop them. The rest of us will have to seek out another group to protect us and take them down. But who could take on a force such as Idol? We’ll need a force of equal or greater size, and there’s only one group that can muster that much power amongst them: Trekkies. That’s right, they’ll use their logic and Klingon battle techniques to bring down the Idol’s.
It’s kind of ironic that it is them who will save us all. I think it’s pretty cool of them though, considering that the majority of society shuns and makes fun of them, that they will come to our aid…just like the X-Men do! Does this mean that Trekkies and the X-Men are one in the same?…wait a minute, how did I get here?…what was I talking about again?…oh yeah……….(cough, cough) AMERICAN IDOL SUCKS!
Bring on the hate mail!
