The World is Full of Susan Boyles
So Susan Boyle - are you sick of her yet?
Don’t get me wrong - I’m really impressed that the old broad can sing, but seriously - does she need to be in the news every single day, and when she’s not in the news, is it necessary to use her as a metaphor?
I mean come on, how is this guy’s story in any way like Susan Boyle’s, or Slumdog Millionaire for that matter? At the very least, he deserves his own headline that’s not comparing him with a British woman who, according to Wikipedia, took singing lessons from a voice coach, attended Edinburgh Acting School, and took part in the Edinburgh Fringe.
But they’re both aesthetically impaired (he’s missing 2 front teeth from a racist attack, and Susan Boyle just, well, has a munted face), and can sing much to our surprise and amazement - so of course they’re the same! How could I have missed that?
