If I have to be honest, I must say that we found the perfect "jump the shark" moment this week. In fact, I think they will re-engineer the euphemism so that henceforth it will be the "American Idols sings hymns" moment.
In case you're not sure what I am talking about, this week the geniuses at American Idol had those kids sing the old Christian hymn "Shout to the Lord" not once, but TWICE this week.
It was priceless. If you don't believe in god, you think "please spare me... enough with the theatrics." If you do believe in God, you think "how blasphemous!" Either way, it was about the tackiest ploy ever. It's cool that they wanted to raise money for needy people, but somewhat surprising that they stooped to the level they went to.
