America.... the Talented

Remember when it used to be "America the beautiful"?

Not no more kiddies! It's America the Dancing Idiot, the Singing Fool, the Useless Inventor, the "Talented".

We stole a show from Britain and called it American Idol. Now everyone else has stolen that show. As long as it has "America" in the title and three to four judges--it's considered entertainment.

Did I mention that there are certain rules concerning the judges? Sitting from left to right it MUST go, Cocky Mean Brit Dude, then Sweet Chick That Isn't White, and then Honest Yet Nice Dude.

What's up with all the white judges anyway? The contestants on these shows are pretty diverse, why not the judges?

I caught a few minuets of America's Got Talent on NBC.

What a load of crap. They took the Gong Show and placed some British dude, singer Brandy and David Hasslehoff (?) on the judge's panel. Instead of a the famous golden gong, there are 3 X's for each judge. On the third "ENGHNNNHHYH" (think fax machine sound) made by the third judge, you're out.

On the flip side, you have celebrities playing game shows on CBS. Ah, CBS--when you will you learn that celebrities can't take everything from us? I'm not to interested in seeing Ricky Lake host The Price is Right to Lance Bass from--which one was he from? 98 degrees, Backstreet Boys? Who can keep up? But then again, who really cares?

That Lance Bass is one creepy lookin' dude. They shoulda let him ride the space shuttle so he could greet our future alien invaders.
