"I hate American Idol. All those people parading themselves around, trying to make themselves into something big and not really doing anything to earn it. As if they are so great stardom should just fall into their laps."
"Didn't you take singing lessons?" Maggie yawns out, flipping the channels obsessively.
"And the ones that make it to the top...sure they might be quasi-talented, but their success is so veiled by manufactured pomp and circumstance..." (she spits the words "pomp" and "circumstance" out like sunflower seed shells on a dugout floor) "... It's a slap in the face of the art form. A total sham."
"Yea, but I luuuv Kelly Clarksons's new song" Maggie gushes. Just then, an unexpected piercing "beeeeeeeep" from the Emergency Broadcast System blares out its own tune.
Lol- I think the SAME THING about American Idol! It is SO fake, every last second of it is like a old penny covered in honey to make people think it is gold. But i love how you made this image, and how at the end the first person's response was cut off due to the Beep sound. It kind of made me think that the fist person may have cussed really loud too in disbelief and the Beep was just perfect timing.
