That's news to me.

I'm out shopping and on the way out, I glance at the headline on the front page of the local newspaper. 'Beloved celebrity passes away'? No. 'World's tallest building celebrates an anniversary'? No. 'President rubs one out; forgets to use napkin'? No, nothing like that. The headline in my local paper, on the front fucking page, reads thusly:

TV's popular team gets mean

Yes, it's an "American Idol" story on the front page. I could possibly imagine if one of the contestants had been arrested/killed/caught in a compromising position with balloon animals that space on the front page would be merited, but all this does is draw the eye away from real news.

Now, I certainly know of the show, but I don't watch "American Idol". I'm straight, for one thing. For another, it's just another dumb-ass reality show, only more popular than most.

This is but one more snowflake to instigate an avalanche. Mike Judge was so right, it's not even fuckin' funny.
