the coolest and least cool things, ever

let's start with the bad: american idol. this show is just retarded. first of all, it pisses me off that it starts and ends several minutes before/after the hour. when i want to watch a show, i don't want it to start at 9:04. i want it to start at 9:00. what is this bullshit? besides, enough moronic americans like that shit, so i'm sure advertisers would pay more for commercial spots than they already do. so cut the fucking commercials if you really can't trim the show down to keep it inside the fucking hour.

second, honestly. i caught the last 4 mins the other night because the tv guide channel neglected to mention the true end/start times. i have to admit, some of these people can sing. well even. but here's the thing: these people are singing hits. ask them to sing some of their own shit (if they are even non-shitty enough to write something) and i'm sure it will suck. these people should never be anyone's idol. however, maybe it's more american than first glance shows. have someone else do all the real/hard work, while someone else has the glamorous side and takes all the credit. it's all a moot point anyway, because all the finalists end up getting offers anyway, then they fade back into anonymity where they belong (well, or the tv guide channel).

now for the good: boycotting/picketing kfc. there's a kfc a few minutes away from our apartment on my way home from work. tonight there were people out front with signs, trying to deter people from eating at kfc. what makes it even more hilarious is the sheer number of boycotters--3. 3 fucking people. they didnt even have enough people to hold up all of their lame signs. one sign had the circle with a line thru it saying "broken wings, broken legs." it didn't even make sense, really. and even if i could ignore all of this ridiculous, let one thing be very clearly known: i would never, ever, EVER let some douchebag in jean shorts dictate my eating habits. i drove on past, but if tonight had been one of the nights on which dominique had night class, i definitely would've picked up my dinner at kfc just to spite them. maybe she'll be in the mood for some fried chicken...
