Absolute Garbage

American Idol, Marketing, Bullshit

What the hell is going on? I just read that Katherine McPhee (the American Idol girl) is going to be offered a role in a movie? Am I the only one that sees something wrong with that?

You see, this is exactly what is wrong with today's generation and especially, that trashy operation which they call American Idol.

As I said in a previous post, American Idol is one of the most intelligent money making operations of all time. Most people think it's about displaying talent, but folks, it's not. The way it works is you, the public, vote for you're 'Idol' and then in turn, the producers of the show can give record contracts to artists which they know will sell. Hell, they even caught on by giving contracts to the other finalists which lost the bloody competition!

If five million people vote for one person, you can be damn sure they'll always have guaranteed album sales. Why have people not caught onto this?

And now, we are giving movie contracts to people who shouldn't be in movies. Why? Well for starters, because they can't act.

"Oh yeah! My favourite 'Idol', Katherine McPhee is in --INSERT SHITTY MOVIE--. We should go and see that".

It's all so perfectly planned out. By adding such people in movies they can instantly increase viewership and that's exactly what they did with Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson.

While were at it, let's give Jennifer Hudson an Oscar..Oops, they already did that.

Also worthy of rant:

Meanwhile, while were on the subject of marketing schemes, anyone else see the correlation between cell phones and their advertisements with 'cute' little frogs and hippo's on them?

The best place to display these adverts is clearly where they advertise them: movie theatres. It works especially well within the running credits of a film like 'Shrek', where children see these 'cute' animals and must have something they do not need simply because the furry monkey was in the advert.

What a bunch of bullshit..
