You are my new favorite e-person.

I’d like to add my voice to the chorus clamoring for the death of **American Idol**. I also hate **Dancing/Skating/Shooting/Whatever with the Stars** and any and all home makeover shows.

That’s exactly why I refuse to watch AD. I don’t care if it’s the freakin’ second coming of Christ, I won’t watch it just because…well, I’ve seen what “everyone” thinks is “smart, funny, brilliant” and it often doesn’t match my own definitions of those words.

**My Super Sweet 16**

Why they would want to devote a show to showing spoiled brat rich girls who whine because they want the Range Rover and not the Mercedes, want the $5000 dress, and hate their parents even though they foot the bill for everything,

I have no idea.

What really annoys me about AI is the fact that the local Fox news invents a “story” to run about AI EVERY SINGLE DAY! It’s so transparent it’s laughable. Because of my work schedule, Fox is often the only local news I get a chance to see, and it annoys the hell out of me to have a chunk of “news” time taken up by blatant advertising.
