'The X-Factor' Rant

Let's pretend you are a typical teenage human being. You go to school on a Monday morning and enter your form class just as the bell rings. You sit down on your usual seat, when you're surrounded by fellow classmates who suddenly start babbling about 'The X-Factor' o Saturday night. The girls are excited about a cute boy who's a contestant, while the boys are constantly talking about how hot Cheryl Cole is.

This is what I have to deal with frequently in my school life. If you don't know what 'The X-Factor' is, it's a singing competition television programme, where normal people from the public in the United Kingdom can enter to show off their good (or in some cases, not so good) voices to the judges, and the viewers at home.

For some strange reason, mainly young people sit in their living rooms and watch this crap every single year. I've seen it all before, and I'm tired of watching cocky, annoying people try to sing. Now, admittingly, there are some good singers who were featured on the show, but I just can't bear to watch it any longer. People get so obsessed with it and I can never understand how they can even THINK about getting to that state. Instead being outdoors, or socialising, these people are glued to their televison screens watching amateurs standing on a stage.

I hate it.
