why would you lie about anything at all? - extra image
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.
