Sugar Coating

I have a confession.

I LOVE WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL.
There's something that pisses me off BIG time though. -- Why is everyone against Simon?????!!!!
I think he's the most honest one of all. Any good artist knows, a good constructive criticisms are often painful to take. I hate watching Randy and Paula gang up on Simon because "that was mean!.." I like Simon for being honest, and incredibly straight forward with the contestants. He comes off as being snotty and jerky, but I think people have it wrong. If I ever get caught in a situation where I really need to know if I'm making a fool of myself; I WANT SIMON NEXT TO ME TO TELL ME!

I'm sure this is all part of the show. Sure it is.
The thing I don't like about, is that when a TV show is made, along with the writing and the style of the show/personnel, they are made to fit the majority of like-factor. So, translating the "act" of "let's make Simon the bad guy", who tells honest opinions and gives real criticisms, I can only come to a conclusion that majority of the American TV watchers don't like to face the truth. They all want things to be spoon-fed and sugar coated.

This kind of mentality makes me sick. If I get into this argument, I'll end up starting a train of thought that will not stop for a LONG TIME. COMMON PEOPLE, LET"S FACE THE REALITY--not just watch the reality show...

That's what I have to say today.
