wow this is crappy, the title says "Does anyone else think American Idol is trash?" so i'm like "oh hell yeah" so I hit yes on your poll. The only problem is your poll has a different question. 🙁 so my yes vote should really be a no vote.

haha - almost did the same thing....it is somewhat misleading when you open the thread.

I can't stand to see it on TV. I try to not give it ratings so it will go away...lol

It is a silly show about silly people being judged by silly people.

It is not intellectually edifying nor is it anything I would call entertainment. Reality shows in general suck. I mean, who cares about a bunch of people who are seeking their proverbial 15 minutes. It benefits me... how?

It is the twilight zone marathon. 48 hours of twilight zone on the sci fi channel!!

Television is about entertainment, first and foremost. Entertainment does not have to be "intellectually edifying".

I like the Discovery channel.
I used to like Discovery before they decided to just run remodeling shows all day long. Now I watch The Science Channel.


Hell yea, I think TLC and Discovery are the same channel now. Discover used to be about SCIENCE, no I really dont know what it is about.

but to the quesiton at hand. American Idol sucks.
 
I don't like to watch tv b/c tv is for dumb peeps

but I do like to sit in ATOT all day and talk down to peeps b/c I'm so much smarter than everyone else.

Let's think for just a second here. Thousands upon thousands people try out just to make it on television the first time around. None of the good prospects ever get turned away until the audience gets to vote. The finals are even decided by you. WTF is so trashy about it ? I don't particularly care for this type of show, but there's nothing wrong with this show if you like contests.

Remember, this is ATOT aka the social outcasts of life. They need more and more media to make fun of to place themselves higher than the normal people they weren't cool enough to befriend in real life. As if any keen observations they make enhances their status. Quite pathetic really since such attitudes often jades any actual insight and at the same time detracts from their personal appeal.
amen.
