Jedward fever is sweeping Britain and destroying everything in its path. Plucky islanders have proven unable to resist the contagion, and epidemiologists warn that, left unimpeded, it could prove more devastating to the nation than the Ant and Dec virus of the nineties. If you or someone you know would like to help out, please send knives.

Did you see Susan Boyle on Dancing With The Stars last night??

She makes me feel depressed.
Her cat is already richer and more famous than I will ever be.
Seems like Britain's finally called Cowell's bluff, and started voting for the worst act, on purpose. Strictly Come Dancing had this happen last season with the reporter John Sergeant (who admitted he didn't deserve to stay on), winning week after week because people thought it would be funny. Along comes the first (I think) X Factor since that, and look what happens.
I don't know if this is what Marx had in mind when he uttered 'first as tragedy, then as farce' but it surely is applicable
I dreamed a dream that someday we could be mediocre again.
Kudos for nicking Jon Sex's look, will they be incorporating a python into the act?
Once someone linked to this video:

I have been obsessed by their insane levels of cheesiness. It's like Sanjaya to the tenth power.
Ponyhawk!
It's Sanjaya times two with Tokio Hotel hair... and PRODUCTION VALUES!!!
"Cowell's decision came despite his previous promise to leave the country and sulk for six months if the 18-year-old twins, from Dublin, won."
Obviously the Brits have taken this as a challenge.
The fact that Jedward and Adam Lambert's style looks Post-Punk to me makes me realize I'm a sad old man.
Joy Division never looked like that. Though maybe Ian Curtis would still be alive if they did.
I was thinking more The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, early Japan, that kind of thing. Joy Division were much too cool to wear eyeliner.
Gio, and Flock of Seagulls
Toyah, Alison Moyet?
If Toyah had children with A Flock of Seagulls.
When Cowell says in the mega-intro they rolled before their Ghostbusters trainwreck that they "couldn't sing" I thought, Oh Simon, you impossible to please bitch.
But srsly, these girls can't sing. At all. Also, British people confuse me a little.
