Anyone else watched Idol Gives Back? It was basically a bunch of mediocre musical performances mixed with celebrities emotionally blackmailing people to donate money to charity. Wow, really? Idol gives back? Awesome. I want American Idol to give me back the two hours I wasted watching the whole thing, please?

As much as the show underwhelmed me, I have to say that they're supporting some very worthy causes. Halfway through the show, Forest Whitaker showed up and talked about the malaria epidemic in Africa. He seemed like a sincere guy, and he has an Oscar, so I guess he must be a good actor (although he was terrible in Vantage Point). But he might have let his emotions go a bit out of control while trying to make his point.

Give, muthafucka!

Heh. Of course, that obscene gesture was entirely unintentional and not really funny. But I have the mental maturity of a 9-year-old kid and nothing else to blog about, so... yay.
