My life is RUINED!!!

Probably the greatest way to control people is to focus their attention elsewhere, such as huge sports spectacles and events like American Idol. In order to prevent a free society from being to democratic you have to make sure to neutralize the public, it's distraction...down to a science.

On the other hand, this is probably the most exercise she's gotten in years, so it's not all bad.

Top 15?.. really?! I find nothing in this video to be interesting or unique. =[

A dumb reaction to an even more mind-numbingly dumb show is better suited on ebaums or nothingtoxic.
This doesn't belong here imho. = /
There are muuch funnier, less vapid sifts that deserve a spot on the front page.

Yeah, American Idol is obviously a conspiracy. It's not a goofy show designed to appeal to the widest audience possible in order to make piles of money...it's a tool of the goverment to distract us while they...I don't know...do something...obviously something insidious...

Or maybe it IS just a TV show. I guess that makes more sense.

Hence why the brainwashing is so effective. Because people like you and her think it's just a tv show.

No harm could come to our society by becoming emotionally involved in manufactured "reality" show like this woman, right?

Meanwhile, on the rest of the planet.. Tim Geithner's shovelin' into money into the bank accounts of his friends at GoldmanSachs. BP & Haliburton are covering up all their crimes. and Blackwater's still murdering civilians and raping girls in cargo containers.

Tho you're right. It's probably just a tv show.

If American Idol didn't exist, this obese woman in her trailer would definitely be watching the latest news about Geitner, BP and Blackwater. Most assuredly. It's too bad she's brainwashed or she'd do something about the travesties affecting the world.>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

Oh, please. "People like you"? What a complete misrepresentation of what he said. You're free to provide evidence that this in is fact NOT just a TV show and that the only reason it exists in the first place is because it's what the viewers want to watch, however stupid it and they may be for doing so.

How people react and hinge their lives on it, and how the powers that be benefit/profit from these distractions is a completely different story. Again, unless you have evidence that these mind numbing excuses for entertainment are just a big conspiracy, in the way people on planet Earth normally define it. You might be engaging in intentional hyperbole (if so, then I apologize) but the whole situation is far more complex than the simple-minded conspiratorial ejaculate that some have left here. I see where you guys are going with this line of thought, but it's far too simplified to be taken seriously.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I think Heinlein's Razor also might be useful here.

It irritates me to no end when people insist that every and all conspiracy theories = mental masturbation.

Like you and your friends never conspired to gain something. Like conspiracy is a flying unicorn.

The fact is that shows like these have latent [built in] dysfuctions. One of those dysfuctions is mass distraction.

The power elite [as coined by c. wright mills] don't have to know they are conspiring to conspire.

So why do you need direct evidence to some massive elaborate conspiracy you suggest Yogi and I are proposing..

when the latent dysfuctions of seperate interests provide the same effect?
