Wendy watches American Idol, so I watch it with her. I'm not really proud of that, but I do think it's at least one notch above the average reality televison show. I agree with Simon Cowell most of the time, which may not speak well of me, considering that most everyone thinks he's a jerk. Recently, Simon was asked about America's current animosity toward the French, and had this to say:

“We (the British) have hated the French for years. Now you (the United States) have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.”

Yeah, he's a jerk, but I like him.
