American Idol Shocker! Sanjaya was a fraud!!!ONE!!11eleven!!1
  • Hey, I'm a fraud too, but you don't see me making any damn youtube videos about it.
  • Nope. Still don't care.
  • Something on the tube fraudulent? Impossible!!|1l!!onethousandonehundredeleven!!!1
  • This won't be the last you see of me. Oh, please let that not be true. WTF with the blond chick smoking behind him, is that his entourage?
  • What, don't you have a blond chick smoking behind you?
  • *looks* Nope, just Koko gnawing on a bubblegum cigar. Ain't the same.
  • Smokin' mad, most likely. OK, here's a playground for our quips and quibbles. The post? Meh, who cares.
  • I am still beflummoxed by the popularity of a show that features overly coiffed dudes singing Streisand tunes and being snitted at by a greasy little British harridan and his airy cohort of also-rans. I mean, I understand that not reality show can encompass the wide range of riveting human drama that is The Apprentice, but still.
  • I quite enjoyed On The Lot the other night. Trainwreckery abounded. Mind you, I don't know how much Gary Marshall I can take, so I'll likely ditch it when Julie Chen comes back in my life July 5th. Yes, I know the date. I'm just that starved for quality, mindless tv.
  • Special K with strawberries and soy milk.
  • Fes, it is rude to use the phrase "greasy little British harridan" here, as everyone will think you mean Kit.
  • 1. Think of your favourite singer/band of all time. 2. They wouldn't even make regional qualifying for 'American Idol'. 3. That's why 'American Idol' sucks 4. Stop watching it.
  • I watched the first season, as it was new and exciting, and the second season, as the first season made people realize that this thing was out there, so the talented people showed up, but even then I was getting tired of it. Watching Clay get dragged up despite a complete lack of talent, and Reuben having talent out the wazoo, but not getting anywhere after because he's not as cute. After that, it was just the same old same old. Same sort of burnout that I went through for Survivor. I still enjoy Big Brother, though, for a couple of reasons. First, it's a much harder game than any of the others. Second, the game is such that the players can forget about the cameras, and make complete asses of themselves without a thought. Third, Julie Chen. I don't think she has all that much going on upstairs, frankly, but that doesn't enter the consideration. I'd be hard-pressed to name someone who can work a pair of heels better.
  • Monkeyfilter: overly coiffed dudes singing Streisand tunes and being snitted at by a greasy little British harridan and his airy cohort of also-rans.
  • There is no understanding why people watch mindless staged pap like this. I suppose it's cheaper than alcohol for deadening the brain after a long workday, but apparently no less addictive.
  • WTF with the blond chick smoking behind him, is that his entourage? I thought it was a "he", no? And what Weezel said.
  • I am still beflummoxed by the popularity of a show that features overly coiffed dudes singing Streisand tunes and being snitted at by a greasy little British harridan and his airy cohort of also-rans. Fes, I'm confused, I thought you loved all evil things.
  • I quite enjoyed On The Lot the other night. I did as well. Though I guffawed when one of the contestants gushed, "Wow, BRETT RATNER liked my film!!!"
  • *votes Nickdanger off the thread*
  • Nick: I checked with my Infernal Masters, and the have confirmed that American Idol is not technically evil. They did seem a bit chagrined that it wasn't their idea, though.
  • But, but... it's IDOLATRY! (As opposed to "idol-aughtry," which is just plain wrong.)
  • They're reviewing... *looks around, checks watch, taps foot* Nope, not evil. "Puerile" is the word they used. Of course, when they say it, it comes out all "hisssHIISSSgaaaarrghhiiissspfffffftthhhhhhkkkkk." I keep telling these guys, seriously, caps on those things is going to fix that sibilant problem! Do they listen? no, course not.
  • Idol Autry
  • (As opposed to "idol-aughtry," which is just plain wrong.) Well, especially 'cause it was four years ago! Hah?! Hah?! Beuller?
  • I swear there's a blond person smoking in the snowy woods behind Gene Autry.
  • My blond person is on a break right now. I'm having to make do with a hobo.
  • It's PC gone mad! When I was a lad, "harridan" was an exclusively misogynist insult.
  • Quite so! No doubt Fes means "cardigan". With a hood.
  • Who says the wikipedia isn't useful? Harridan: Harridans resemble a very large Gargoyle with great wings. They are the Gargoyles 'brood-mothers' and carry their "young" into battle[4]. They have a biocannon for a weapon and they operate as a heavy flyer and a transport, making them able to drop off troops and raid enemy positions with air attacks[2]. They are also a synapse creature and form the link between their Gargoyle broods and the Hive Mind[3]. Now I know what you guys are talking about!
  • H--A--double R--I--D--A--N you see Is a dame that a shame never has been connected with Harridan, that's me!
  • *squints at lyric sheet*
  • Clearly fish tick needs to go to next year's auditions!
  • I'm pretty sure Cowell qualifies.
  • I've never seen a man who owned so many black fitted tees.
  • He's trying to impress someone with 'em, for certain.
  • He's just trying to show off his moobs.
  • No manziere required?
  • **getting all excited, bouncing up and down oh oh oh oh oh *fans self... MonkeyFilter: it's cheaper than alcohol for deadening the brain after a long workday, but apparently no less addictive Ahhhhhhh, tagline goodness. Guess this thread isn't such a waste of webaire after all.
  • whew.
  • American what? Have I missed something.. should I care?
  • My wife watches it, and she loves all evil things, so I figured...
  • I used to have an attractive blonde standing behind me smoking at all times. I also used to not have the over-the-shoulder-ejaculation perfected. She has moved on.
  • There are so many things humans can learn from owls. Teach us some of what thou hast gleaned, bernockle...
  • So I started wondering, does bernockle mean "owl" or something? So I looked it up, and found nothing. Then I googled "bernockle". First two results: Monkeyfilter. Third and fourth results: something that doesn't seem relevant. Fifth result: Owl semen - MonkeyFilter Wiki.
  • Yay!
  • see? I knew that Wiki would pay for itself eventually!
  • We have a wiki?
  • I saw his sister's audition. I thought she was pretty good. Of course, I just really like the song "Summertime".
