why would you lie about anything at all?
whilst we were eating dinner in san cipriano colombia tiene talento was on the television. it's almost identical to britain's got talent, from the c-list celebrity judging panel to the dumb presenter and procession of seemingly mentally challenged contestants ready to be exploited. yeah, i'm not a fan. of the many, many elements that i dislike about the show i think it's the general style that bugs me the most. everything is big, brash and loud - kind of american - drowning out any craft and subtlety. plus any product or programme that lines simon cowells' pockets doesn't make me want to invest my money or attention. having said that i got some enjoyment watching it in san cipriano, mainly because this kid's father was watching and laughing along. there's something about sharing and laughing at a joke in a different language which gives you a good feeling inside - a connection that doesn't care about borders, vernacular or beliefs. and i guess i can't hate on simon cowell too much, if it wasn't for him and his god-awful television output i still wouldn't have seen rage against the machine.
