Kicked off last night.....now I'm not on the Tom Cruise kick or anything but I certainly think we overmedicate our problems. Our answer to almost everything seems to be a drug of some sort which really just deadens the problem as opposed to dealing with it and doing away with it. That said, after watching last night and the trail of delusional people who are under the mistaken impression that they are the best singers in the world when in actuality they sound like a banshee getting smacked in the nuts with a mace while being rabbit punched in the throat by an in-his-prime Mike Tyson, it's become clear to me that we aren't drugging our youth enough. Seriously. More drugs. Lots. Or, at the very least, listen to a tape of yourself before you go. If that doesn't work, take that tape to a diner (out of state where no one knows you) and play it and get some honest feedback. Obviously there are some families out there who either are desperate to get on television or hate their children so much that they'd convince them they can sing so they make fools of themselves on television. Either way it's wrong.
