Re: More misrepresentation and goal post moving

Likely because American Idol is an example of the general inanity of Americans. Can't say I blame them.
Agreed, but that is not the reason. Many sectors in Europe are also desperately trying to deflect the take over of english. The western weapon is the english language - as happened when England and France were entangled in their war for lands. China does not want democrasy, and is deflecting anything western - represented by English and Coca Cola, Macdonalds and American Idol.
