A.I.=Artifical Intelligence A.I.=American Idol. Coincidence?


The new season of American Idol started last week.  So I'm not really proud of the fact that I watch the damn show, like the other 28 million people who watch.  But the genius of the show is in the layout and pacing.  Every season I tune in for first few weeks to watch the train wrecks - the people who can't sing.  The producers drag this phase out for about three weeks; from the auditions and then into "Hollywood week."  After that I'll end up watching the rest of the show out of sheer habit.  Like biting your nails is a habit.  Or like hiding from the law in Mexico to avoid going to federal prison and getting shanked in the yard or sodomized in the shower... is a habit.. like that is a habit... er... yeah.
