Well, another year, another American Idol winner. This time, it was a kid named Lee Dewyze, who apparently beat the prohibitive favorite, Crystal Bowersox. I confess, I didn’t watch the final. Other than a few bits and pieces, I didn’t watch American Idol at all. The fact is, I, for the most part, hate American Idol. No real reason…I just think it’s a silly, vapid show that contributes to the dumbing down of America. I’m sure the same could be said of other shows I have watched, so I don’t blame anyone else for watching. But I do have a good laugh at people who become emotionally invested. Check out these two videos. One is from 2008, when David Cook beat out David Archuleta to become the “American Idol.” The other is from this year. Be warned…the second video contains a few choice words, and both videos contain vast amounts of screaming, crying, and utter stupidity.

That really breaks my heart to see someone so sold out to television show that they would go so far as to invest so much of their time and energy into emotionally connecting to an inanimate object and an ideology. That video is a good example of “idol” worship if you pardon the pun.
Right you are, sir. I wonder if that lady gets that upset about things of monumental importance. Somehow, I doubt it.
