Idol politics. It's like wank, in a way.
Soooo ... Kelly Clarkson lost World Idol to a plumber from Norway with, according to one of the judges, "the voice of an angel and the face of a hobbit".

Which, as you know, is all about politics.

"How much are you willing to bet they invade Norway next week?"

"Come one people wat did Aretha teach us?"

And icons, naturally. This thread alone manages to include:

australian was a penal colony, sure. only way it can go is up. america was founded as a religious utopia, only way it could go was down. and by the looks of it...

Have a nice life in your beautiful country, I'm going to have a wonderful night in my nice little American house, having sex with my wonderful American fiance

oh, college? is that the american term for 'make our mummies and daddies pay for pen and paper and teacher while we have unprotected promiscuous sex and get stoned'?
