The Winner of American Idol is...

is someone that looks like Alfred Newman (see their uncanny similarities here).

Like most North Americans, I have been wasting my life following the American Idol episodes. I even know this singer's middle name -James. Sigh, what have I reduced myself to?

It's Idol Gives Back Week this week, so instead of channelling people's hard-earned money to those TV producers and the three stooges (Simon, Paula and Randy), the money will be going to the producers' choice of charities.

This is touted be the biggest charitable event in the US this year, so naturally, I'll be giving away another hour of my microlife to this show.

I know I am being mass-manipulated by TV. I'm like a moth flying into the light- I cannot do anything about it. ---zzzzap!
