Time for a depressing snapshot of modern popular culture. Don't expect to come away from this feeling good about yourself, no matter how thick they lay on the "believe in yourself" stuff here. It's Britains Got Talent time over here in the UK, Simon Cowell's other X Factor. And so of course we get more lunatics, spoilt brat dancers, sob stories and hairbrush holding in the mirror idiots. But one story has EXPLODED over the media, so much so it had Demi Moore talking about it on her Twitter page. A retard walks on stage, gets laughed at - and then she sings well. The End. Although the way people react here, and the way people reacted in the press, you'd think she started flying in the air. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZYOne: This shows the nasty, point-at-the-freak mentality these shows have created. Two: It also shows that, if you can sing well, then you're suddenly a fucking superstar. She will probably win. She will obviously get a record deal. I will obviously review it on Amazon. There - that's the next six months sorted out for you.

So does Cowell fly back and forth daily to do American Idol and his British shows or what? Yeah, and you read that wrong: the vid has well over FIFTEEN million views! Big deal, a beastly old cow who can sing a bit. She isn't even all that freakish, really; just unattractive by pop media standards.
[update] My wife just asked me if I'd heard about this. It's official: an ugly lady who can sing is GLOBAL news, now. Whatever.

Now it's up to 20 million. Nothing surprises me from the pop idol media machine anymore.

You can't pick up a newspaper in the UK right now without seeing this stupid bitch's face on the front cover. They may as well end this show right now 'cos she's already won the fucking thing with her first song.
And WHY? WHY? Oh, 'cos she's middle aged and she was wearing an old fashioned dress and she wasn't gorgeous - but she had a nice voice. I want to kill the world.
