Idol hands...

So I read this article about the absolutely offensive remark by James Durbin on American Idol.  I just have to say that people are too sensitive these days.  All he did was make a joke about Michael Jackson's hair catching on fire during a Pepsi commercial in 1984...which is hilarious.  But apparently Michael's poor, tragedy-stricken family got all offended and so were wiping tears away with Benjamins because apparently James was taking a stab at Michael Jackson and dragging his good name and reputation through the dirt *cough*.

    A family representative was quoted saying, "We were shocked to see this. It's nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael's death."  Are you freakin serious?  What's funny is that "news" articles like those make it out as if the public is outraged, when really only a few douchebags who want more attention get offended by it.  I thought the quip was hilarious and so did a lot of people apparently, based on the comments on the story.

    It was funny, however, watching Ryan Seacrest swoop in and say "American Idol sponsors Coke."  Or something like that...I can't be bothered doing more than copying and pasting a quote and it wasn't in the text, it was in the video.  Either way, it was funny watching the awkwardness from him. 

  And just to show that it really is funny when somebody's hair catches on fire, I've included this cute picture.  Yuk it up.
