I am SO glad that the country girl didn't suck. I really hate it when they give you the first half of a potentially heart-warming story and then just suck the air right out of you with the fact that they're terrible.

I was just hoping she wouldn't suck because she was actually likable. Her story didn't really seem over the top either.

Edit: "Mary's feeling your pain" :lol
 
"Let me strum you!"

Its possible she doesn't get the meanings behind most of the compliments

Holy shit, she's a dumb dumb
 
Man what a bunch of condescending assholes.

(whoops, apparently we are watching it on DVR...I was talking about the "welding is a fine profession" comment)
 
Man, amateur country singing just lacks so much impact for me. It only really sounds good when accompanied with an instrument. Give me some R&B, yo.

The best part is that you can get a voice coach regardless of how good you are. All you have to do is pay them. :lol

I felt pretty ashamed to recognize that Otaku girl was doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance from Haruhi Suzumiya, but then again, I was watching American Fucking Idol, so I guess I shouldn't.

I just came in to compound your shame by quoting it.

Not only is he awesome, but I did a google search on him and he's a fucking American hero.

The man was even honored with his own holiday in Atlanta, Larry Platt Day, on September 4, 2001, for his "priceless and immeasurable contributions to society" and "his great energy and commitment to equality and the protection of the innocent and for his outstanding service to the Atlanta community and the citizens of Georgia."

On that fateful day, the Georgia General Assembly declared: "For the past 40 years, Larry Platt has given of himself in service to the people of the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and the nation...Larry Platt merits the highest recognition for his many valuable contributions to the Civil Rights Movement and his dedication to the struggle for equality and human rights."

Platt was actually a student of Martin Luther King Jr. back in the day, which makes the timing of his sudden fame quite interesting, given that next Monday is MLK Day. In the early '60s when he was only 16 (see the 16-year-old Platt in the photograph here; he's the one on the far left), he worked with activist groups like the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and Southern Christian Leadership Conference to fight racial segregation in the South. He was even beaten while participating in the infamous "Bloody Sunday" protest march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama.

During that time, according to an article in USA Today about the unlikely "overnight celebrity," Platt actually got his "General" nickname from prominent civil rights leader Reverend Hosea Williams, who was impressed by his valiant efforts. The General remains a community activist to this day, working with the United Youth Adult Conference (a volunteer organization set up to find missing children in the Atlanta area) and fighting public foreclosures.
