And this isn't about the supreme court.

It's much less significant than that. It's about the show "America's got talent". They vote through a 65 year old male stripper dressed like an Elvis impersonator impersonator. But, they ridicule a 60 year old woman who actually plays the harp decently and sings with a rather pretty voice.

I am angered. But not enough to stop watching this.

Regis says, "And your judges tonight are two has beens and a no name". but, this show definitely has given me my fix on how unbelievably creepy some Americans are.

And up until tonight, I think I still thought her name was Moesha.

Apparently, this last contestant still thinks it's Moesha as well. "C'mon Moesha!"

this is the worst show ever.
The judges are so inconsistent.
That rapping granny was horriffic. Funny, but horrific.

The previews for that Treasure Hunters show make it look pretty bad-ass though.

It was like a trainwreck.
I couldn't stop watching.

And yes, I am ashamed.

The highlight of the evening was the nose flute guy going off on and staring down the judges when they booted him:
"When was your last big hit, Brandy? And you know, Hasselhoff, singers have been known to be tone-deaf!"

I watched a little bit of this last night. Did anyone see the little 8 year old stand-up comedian? Initially it was horrible stuff and then she started wondering why black women are so fat and riffed on that for awhile. I was shocked into laughing.

Yeah. I had the same reaction to her. She was like, "seriously. Stop wearing my clothes". I laughed because I was shocked that an 8 year old could grasp that. I think that there is some suspicion as to the true author of the jokes.

I think he may have been hired to be on the show to do that, to add a little "drama" to the show. I mentioned this to my wife last night, and she thinks he wasn't -- that there are a lot of people out there who think they're talented and/or just want to be on TV.

tonight's show is pure drama! DRAMA! i'm starting to like this show, not because of the "talent" but because it's just plain funny.

Is Hasselhoff out of the hospital? I heard he fell in his hotel room and hit his face on a chandelier or something.

i guess he's out of the hospital, unless this show was taped before the new episode.

almost every show on network tv last night between 8-10pm was some kind of competition based reality show:
ch 2 rockstar:crapernova
ch 4 america's got herpes
ch 5 so you think you can squirt?
ch 7 the one [yeh, just cant think of a good one for this]
ch 9 america's next top eating disorder
ch 11 something with people with appropriately tousled hair and no jobs, sort of liek a soap opera, but after sundown
ch 13 ahh, thank god for the junior cousteau's fascination with whales and pbs' desire to show it
