People are always saying how it’s “disgraceful” that American Idol gets more votes than a presidential election. But I think if the presidential election used the American Idol system, it’d be more popular. Imagine McCain giving a speech on national security, then when he finished, he had to turn to a panel of the American Idol judges and listen to Paula Abdul tell him “You know, I think you have such great, just great great, but I wasn’t, you know, feeling that good stuff in my stomach when you said that part about nuclear weapons caches in the former Soviet Union,” then watching an irate McCain have to nod silently as Randy Jackson adds “She’s right dawg. She’s right.” Anyway, now they’re adding a fourth person to the judging mix. Usmagazine.com reports:
Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi is being added as a fourth judge on Fox’s American Idol.
I’ve seen exactly one episode of American Idol and the show is unbearable. It’s really difficult to listen to someone karaoke if you’re not black out drunk or with the knowledge that when the night is over, you’re going to have sex. Adding one judge is not going to make me watch this show. I think three judges works, it just needs to be these three judges:
Courtney Love & Muppet Sexual Assault
Playboy’s Big Dance March Madness Bracket Challenge
What? No Osama bin Laden or Spencer Pratt photoshop? That would’ve been perfect for this one, especially with the new fourth judge.
P.S. Fuck American Idol.
I was against Idol for 6 years until I finally gave it a chance. And then I became hooked right away. Its a great show if you just give it a chance. It is not unbereable at all. The judges have great chemistry, like Really great and very unusual. If you just give it a chance (or two), you will soon enough realize why it is nr 1 on TV.
