| 18. You know I hate the fact that this became an issue in American Idol |
|
but I don't watch it. I don't participate in it, I don't vote in it. I don't care for it. PERIOD!
So I don't do much American popular culture, guilty as charged. My closest contact to it is Comicon, every year... and in that it is purely secondary.
Don't sneer it, but I simply don't watch it.
This said, the battle for human rights is well beyond a stooopid TV program, and yes that is what American Idol is, a distraction from real issues. And I assume the kid's good... so if there is karma (no there isn't, we make it ourselves} he will be fine.
But reality is, folks round these parts have many a taste... and they range from the opera... which I don't like, to classical music, to comics, to science fiction... all across the rainbow, So excoriating people for simply not making time in their lives for this program due to a controversy I just learned about ain't gonna help.
Now let me get my asbestos suit.
I expect a full blown flame...

Adam will be fine, but the results are disturbing to say the least. |

Nothing wrong with Kris but he pales in comparison to Adam and knows it. |

I actually think it was the tweenies and the online VOIP that skewed the vote. |
