Idol Worship

Even though such a show as American Idol would almost seem to be impossible to have not watched over its past 9 or 10 seasons, I have been one of the few people left in the galaxy to sit down and suffer through an episode of this emotional meat grinder generated for the misguided masses of american society who seek to do the exact such thing, become famous and pull themselves from the depths of obscurity and infamy. Never has there been such a collection of heartbreak, tough luck, and tragedy since my small town high school senior class. They must have culled through the most obscure remote trailer parks, toughest urban ghettos, and broke up downtown artist colonies to produce a willing cast starting from thousands who would succumb to levels of humiliation, embarrasment, and character defamation that would today have parental lawsuits by the thousands if this kind of behavior took place in public schools, instead of television, which gives the entire idea a much need lift in legitmacy, right, sure, nothing the american public loves more than to watch people who they feel superior to, get mashed down into the subnormal cesspool they belong in, I mean at least the Gong Show went in with a certain humorist slant, the contestants knew the main angle of the show was humor. These singers on American Idol are being duped into believing that major stardom and fame await the small few who can survive the vicious scurtiny of how ever many months the contest takes place, granted for the few who make to the end, getting put up on television twice a week can be quite addictive, more so than whores, drugs, and booze put together, something about the limelight that will turn off every rational sensor in the brain and body, everyone seeks it, myself included, why lie, who does not love the attention that is why this show works so well, damn motherlode, trade this product in for all the oil of the Saudi owns and the Saudis would still get a better deal, this kind of show will never die, the constant need to be notice will outlive the oil supply and the next ten forms of sustainable energy invented in the next ten thousand years.

Will any of these so called artists on this show, ever be bigger than David Bowie, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, or Beethoveen, hell no, that is not their purpose, the singers on American Idol are here for the viewers entertainment, on par with the throwing of the Christains to the lions or whatever other historical lore may fit, once and a while someone survives, a few folks clap then send the poor fool back for more later in the week. This facade of genuine genius is laughable, pop music fodder for the braindead masses could not be more appropriate, this is what the american public deserves, demands, and must be rewarded with, constantly, do not concern yourself with the economy, merely go back to work, if you have a job, or sell drugs, body, or other bodies to maintain a high amount of disposible cash for your disposible heroes on the television screen, buy, buy more is the only concern of the large forces behind the scenes pushing this material into the television viewing public, slay the those minds by the millions, if their own personal substance abuse has not already accomplished that feat ahead of time, then sit back, get some money involved and watch people get more marginalized, more aloof, and just generally out of touch with mainly how 90 percent of this country serves as puppets for the other 10 percents amusement, toys, we are all toys, to be commanded, dictated to, and if not obediant will suffer the humorously horrible and similar fate of all those thousands of Idol fans who know deep down in their hearts they have the talent of all those other talentless other shit bags on tv and the movie screen, but the real sad irony is they don't.
