    I have to admit I watched it last night.

    The bald headed dude (Chris) did his own version of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line".

    Absolutely awesome. I would buy the track in a second.

    He may not win, but he is head and shoulders above the rest. Some of the others can sing, but he arranges his own stuff and is truly original.

    I think I might be the only person out there who has never seen an episode of American Idol. I've seen tons of clips on the Internet but I've never sat through the show.

    Here's a little something you might be able to use this in future therapy sessions:

    I also have never seen an episode of American Idol, and I pride myself on the fact. It's meaningless drivel. Some pseudo-democratic bullshit about how you pic the winner, and that somehow any of it matters. Just another reason for giant conglomerates to shove their meaningless corporate sales pitch down my throat with "commercials". I'm sorry, but I really can't stand watching television. I doubt anyone in this forum allows a salesmen to walk into your house and sell you product, why do you turn on the TV and invite advertising execs in?

    Ditto, I hate that fucking show.

    My stats professor used to come in gushing over that fucking show. Like stats needs help being boring.

    You can't fool me with your marketing tricks. The emperor has no clothes. I can only handle so much new and improved before I snap, and no longer choose to involve myself in the game. Which is all marketing is. I know you do marketing, and it is fascinating, but pop-psychology and cliche commercial dialogue are not what it takes to get me to purchase a product. I do everything I can to ignore them.

    I think the Pickler girl is not as dumb as she acts. I think she was naive and country at first, and she figured out pretty quick that it was working for her. I think she now milks it.

    They don't look that good here, or is it just an unflattering photo?

    I'll buy that American Idle is about the ability to sing when an Ugly person wins.

    It's not about the ability to sing. It's about the ability to produce hit records.

    How many ugly people have you seen in the Top 40 lately?

    I don't tend to listen to top 40. As far as I know the last ugly person in the top 40 was K.D. Lang.
