I had no idea.

I wonder what Simon Cowell would have said to Ricky Martin if Ricky Martin was ever on American Idol. I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered. America elected Taylor Hicks over Catherine McPhee so Ricky probably still would have won thanks to his metrosexually styled hair and perfect teeth.
Sometimes I hate this country.
Not because of OMGHealthCare but because of how plastic our culture has become. More average Americans know the names of at least 3 of Tiger Woods' hookers than they do people in their local government. In the last election, a lot of democrats called John McCain out of touch. I'd hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure that's the pot calling the kettle black.
I'm no angel nor the wisest amongst us, I'm merely a color commentator. I'm Bibster to everyone else's Steiggy. I leave it to you guys to state the facts while I just call it like I see it. I'm the peanut gallery, the Muppets 2 old men in the balcony.
I'm the chick you want to shut the fuck up in the theatre.
All that said, I find it positively disgraceful that our culture has downgraded so severely that its more about who won the Oscars than who won the Iraqi election. Its absurd that I have no idea what the fuck Seria, Brunei is but that I know that Craig Adams is from there. Its ludicrous that CNN can actually get away with interviewing Snoop Dogg instead of Stephen Harper.
You don't even know who that is, do you?
While I'm totally all for capitalism, I think enough is enough. When do ratings not become the driving force behind media's motivation? When does phys. ed. finally take 2nd place to Social Studies or better yet Math?? When can the Arts become more about expressing oneself instead of trying to get attention?
This is not where I expected this blog entry to go. I should probably stop while I'm still ahead...
