Why do they feel that mentally ill people are entertaining? |

This Douglas guy - clearly very out of his skull.
There is nothing amusing about this shit. Nothing. It's horrible exploitation. Bad singers = funny. Crazy people = sad. Kimbob the Unamused |

Why is there MS? How about psoriasis? The world is a fucked-up place full of assholes.

I'm not asking WHY there IS mental illness (although thank you for reinforcing the idea that mental illness is not funny). I'm asking why AI thinks
mental illness is amusing.

The mentally ill are entertaining.
Example. Forrest Gump. Case closed. |

I don't think Mentally Ill was the phrase you were looking for.

As someone that watched Hey Paula, I'm guilty of laughing at the mentally ill. But she has a lot of nerve laughing at anyone and she seems to be the worst
one this year.

Not all psychos are entertaining in Idol. This season, Temptress, the singing I'm your brother, Alexis and the Star wars girl are the most entertaining so
far. The others are blah especially the chest hair man. He's so freaking annoying.

the Paula stalker was by far, the most entertaining, though I suppose he was a different kind of mentally ill.

The paula stalker was funny - but likely not even remotely ill. He was just clever enough to get his song spoof on tv.

Yep. Paula stalker is just one of those comedians who do "music comedy" with their "clever" songs.

Delusional fucks who think they are future superstars are funny. A lot of these deluded nerds are, if not mentally ill, definitely shortbus material. I loved
WB Superstar, so I'm not going to claim any moral superiority. But it's all getting old and played out anyway. Probably the only contestant that has
made me LOL so far was the "Go Down Moses" dude. I still chuckle a little, but I feel a little dirty afterward.

There's a somehwat mentally ill guy( I don't know exactly the name of what he has) who lives on my street and made it to the Canandial Idol auditions.
They actually aired it as a classic mock edition where the judges clearly poked fun at him. I guess it's funny when you don't know them, but when you
do, it really does look mean.

After Doug said that his father told him that he hated him--and Doug clarified that his father meant that he hated Doug himself and not just his singing--that
audition couldn't have been sadder and more inappropriate to air for entertainment purposes.

i don't feel sorry for any of the freaks.....it take days of waiting and talking to people to even get in front of the judges.......don't these people
have families to look out for them.....didn't they notice they where missing for a couple of days or where they the ones that brought them to the auditions
in the first place.....
