Damn you have to just adore the way the the Fox empire adheres to strong family values that lend to its news network an aura of authenticity and credibility to upstanding Americans who celebrate traditional, conservative family values.
Like the feature performer on American Idol singing his song "Blame It (on the alcohol)" tonight. I mean isn't that a show targeted at among other things a very strong teen and youth demographic? Isn't the bulk of its audience not of legal drinking age?
Gah. I know we live in a society absent any concept of shame nowadays. I know that Fox is beyond parody - even self-parody. I know that Rupert Murdoch's empire is a cynical cesspool into which one has to wade as a price for the odd bit of good entertainment.
But, golly, isn't this just more than a little blatant. A little too much of a f*ck you to the idiots who keep the Fox treadmill going (and in that I include myself for watching American Idol).
Not really much of a diary I know - but sometimes I just like to read what other people think on a topic...
