Let me christen the first "American Idol" 2008 thread

Holy crap, the judge who is there for his musical track record yet became a TV personality actually has an imperfect body shared by 90 percent of other men his age, exposed not because he wanted it to be but because of paparazzi he never courted. Let's tear him up. Nice.

It never ceases to amaze me what pushes peoples' buttons on here. It's never what you expect.
 
Come on, AB. First of all, Simon is a smug jackass who loves to criticize. He should be able to take it.
Also, he's one of the most recognizable people in the world. It comes with the territory.
Somehow I don't think he's crying into his piles of money over that picture and any ensuing "man boobs" comments.

It's certainly an 80s-star-studded show. What the heck? Not that I don't love the 80s (hi, BYH and Bubbler!!!) but come on ... nobody from the last 15 years would appear?

I loved it. Current music blows donkey deck anyway.

Depends what you're listening to. Corey Taylor makes my knees go weak. My MP3 player is half-80s, half metal.

As long as you have Saints of Los Angeles on there too, all will be well.

I never said I wouldn't play with his moobs. Sheesh.

It is one of about 10 or 12 Crue songs in heavy rotation. ;)

You want to have a boob-off with Cowell, don't you?
I think we need three judges. I'll play the Simon role.

I do. But I know I'd win.
 
I just want the opportunity to go, "Those boobs are dreadful. They're like the kind of tits you'd see on a cruise or at a wedding when a dad forces his daughter to get up and perform."

Just saying, he's criticizing people's singing who are there to be judged on their singing. Doesn't make him fair game to be criticized for whatever people can find. What if he's 500 pounds, or 11 feet tall, or a dwarf, or purple, or in a wheelchair? Has nothing to do with nothing.
 
He and the show also criticize people who are obviously special needs when they come out to sing. Or he critiques how they look and act.
Who has been ruder -- us in this thread, or Cowell to hundreds (thousands?) of the non-ultra-talented?
