Idol Musings

Oh American Idol, how I've missed you.

I know I'm gonna eat these words very soon. There always comes a point with these painfully long audition shows where I swear that I'll only begin watching from the point of actual competition, but as per the annual habit, I just can't stay away. And four hours worth later, I'm still suckered on it.

During the first five minutes of the new season, right when I was about to patronizingly ask myself why I watch these dumb early episodes, I lost my f---ing mind when the screen went black. Joe Moore said there was some mysterious technical issues. Err... Kinda like HECO; it always happens and they're never prepared. (Last season, if I had a nickel for every time I was cheated of seeing Archuleta in HD... Oh don't look at me like that. He's slow-learner awesomeness!)

Still, that night, I was most fascinated by the first ten minutes of the TV show that followed KHON's charitable re-broadcast of AI's missing 30 minutes. Punishum Motorsports is a local show that seems to be a strange mix between the glorifying The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and the more cautionary, yet headily exploitative, Cops. Is it for or against street racing?

All I know is, I want to add an apostrophe somewhere in that title. I'm just not sure where yet.
