Know what would be funny? If Susan Boyle were actually a total jerk

[Orrex]

Like a park-in-the-handicapped-spot caliber of jerk.



That would totally kick ass.

1. Then people that failed to make fun of her before she sung

could still feel better about themselves, since they would have found a flaw in her to judge.

Note, everyone has flaws, I am sure she does to, but I do not hope she is a jerk, just that she is happy and loved.

[Orrex]

2. Well let me get you a big bowl of rainbows and puppy dogs

I don't seriously wish she were a jerk... I figured that the post would be self-evidently facetious.


Of course, I don't recall a similar 24/7 media frenzy about Paul Potts, who gave an equally surprising performance a few years back.

[RandomThoughts]

3. Yea my comment might

have been seen to be calling you a jerk, with me acting in a jerkish manner. Sorry about that. I might have been being a bit of a jerk there.

No hard feelings I hope, :) My apologies :)

[Orrex]

4. How can you be such a jerky jerk, you jerk?

On second thought, no harm done! Your apology is appreciated but entirely unnecessary, I assure you!

:pals:

9. Actually, the Paul Potts phenomenon in the Lounge begain summer 2007 and continues.

There've been plenty of Paul Potts threads and posts mentioning him. We probably can expect the Susan Boyle love to continue (and that's alright with me). :hi:

A Lounge search for the words Paul Potts since 2006:

O Holy Night sang by Martina McBride is so beautiful.

Do you find posts in The Lounge "meaningless"?
Topic started by JackBeck on Aug-08-06 09:43 PM (53 replies)

[Orrex]

15. Sure, but I was talking about the media

The Lounge, for all its wide-reaching influence, doesn't quite qualify!

[Drunken Irishman]

5. She's one of the Seinfeld gang.

[Enrique]

6. i'd like to see her punch out a papparazzo

or launch a profane racist rant during a live interview.

I wouldn't really but it's fun to imagine. :-)

[MilesColtrane]

7. Wait until they publish the photos of her shooting up and doing lines with Amy Winehouse.

[bigwillq]

8. While it's a nice story

the media (and DU) are on overkill with this story.

[lizziegrace]

10. I think it shows how desperate we are for good news

and seeing the underdog win for a change. It gives us hope and is a very nice distraction from the world.

[bigwillq]

14. There's a lot of good news

all over the place.

I just find it funny that we complain and complain and complain here on DU about media overkill and about reality TV, but yet so many here are obsessed with this story.

Again, nice story. That women's voice is truly beautiful. But this story is already played out, and that poor woman is being exploited.

[SKKY]

11. I hope she finally gets kissed, and it's by someone who truly loves her...

[Jamastiene]

12. I predict Simon Cowell will end up marrying her.

They'd make the perfect couple and I can tell he's smitten with her.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. That would be pretty funny! And if she had especial racist hatred for the Dutch,

and just regular spitting-angry racial/cultural hatred for the Irish, negroes, Muslims, Japanese, Welsh, Spanish, Germans, Norwegians, Chinese, Indians, Americans, Native Americans, Southern Americans, Greeks, Libyans, Coptics, Hussites, Waldensians, Methodists, the Portuguese, and liberals.
