Acceptable Idolatry

The new season of the American Idol has just begun, and the new aspirants are as promising as the competition's previous contestants.

Although I'm not an avid fan of the show, I still try to make it a point to watch some of its episodes in order not to be left behind with the showbiz gossip circulating around the office. No one talks about public records at the cafeteria during coffee breaks. And since nobody dares to talk at anybody's back in the department, we just train and limit our "inquisitive" minds to TV personalities.

I don't think that the support for the talent show will be waning anytime soon. It still reigns supreme on its time slot, and its audience goes beyond the American borders.

I hope that the people, especially the young ones, would check their idol's background first before they give their hearts out to him or her. The character of some of the competition's winners arent's exactly worth emulating.
