Why is society...

There are some amazing talents out there that people just don't seem interested in, in comparison to these.
Are people now not sick to death of it all.
Is it all just one big joke? It seems to be.
But it's boring now, can we get back to watching good entertainment.
Even the dominance of shows like Xfactor is astounding. It's like watching paint dry.
So much crap out there!

Simon Cowell tells this brain dead generation what they like, how else can you explain some piss poor karaoke singer murdering someone elses song and gettin to Christmas number 1 every year? The likes of Justin Bieber, Jedward, one direction etc are children's music that for some horrible reason have leaked in to modern radio playlists. In an ideal world, these ***** wouldnt have left their fathers ballsacks let alone being allowed to release "music".

.

Because some people like it and others like having someone/something to call stupid.

You have to admit there is just as big a culture growing of hating so called mainstream stuff as there is of liking dumbed down crap spoon fed to the masses.

I remember a line in the Savage Eye "Irish people define themselves by the fact that they are not English". Kinda applies to this too. People define themselves by the fact they are not xfactor watchers or Sun readers.

People will always seek an escape, whether through books, music, theatre or now TV and movies. So whatever most people like lots of others will automatically hate it because they think it makes them more of an individual. When it really doesnt.

I'm gonna quote an old George Carlin here "just think about how stupid the average person is. And then realize half of them are even stupider".

Ah jayzus, it wasn't like that back in my day.

Another nostalgia thread. Just what I needed to anger up the blood.

It's because most people are nothing special. The cant act, sing or have any talent of any kind. So when they see these people who are famous for nothing really it gives them hope that they can be famous ,despite a lack of any real talent ,someday too.

Sure let them off. The winner of XFactor getting the Xmas number one nearly by default each year doesn't affect my life in the slightest. I still like the bands I enjoy and get on with it. Why does it bother you?
