Being mean to kids is funny

So I am horribly addicted to America's Got Talent. I cannot possibly express the joy I get from watching a bunch of Yanks making asses out of themsleves for a slim chance at winning a million dollars. Short of a few people on a forum I visit, I find most Yanks to be a pain in the ass. Example: I used to live in Windsor. If any Yanks are reading this and even question where Windsor is, you just totally made my point here.
Anyway, I would go to the bars along Oullette Street as they happened to be closer to my house. I would run into many Americans who felt the need to start questioning Canadian "things" that they never understood.
-Why do we call a case of 24 beer a two-four/two-fer?
-Where is all the snow? (mid-august)
-Where can they go to see some eskimos?
One lovely gentleman was in college for french, and i have to say, my 6 year old speaks better french than this guy. He meant to tell me he was hot (temperature wise) but actually said he was horny.

I digress.

The english guy on the show has no problem telling little kids that they suck. And good for him. Because frankly, most of the time they do. I am a parent, but i have to say, at no point would i ever encourage my child to do something he sucks at. Nor convince myself he is great at it when he isnt.
All of these people applauding kids for doing medicore crap are just setting them up for real embarassment later on. These kids will grow up and go on American Idol and be horribly shocked when they are told that they blow donkey ass.
"But my family tells me I am great!"
Well sweetie, your family is retarded. You are not great. Not even a little. But right on! You just made a huge fool out of yourself on national television!
Is it technically your fault? Nope. It is your parents fault for trying to turn you into Britney Spears so they can live off your profits.

I like it when the english guy tells a kid they suck. The kid gets all teary eyed and started sniffing. I think, better now when you are 6 then 20 and having wasted a whackload of money on lessons.
