Seriously, if it's interesting and it's more than ten minutes old

someone has already posted it. You know?

You should.
Oh and Chuggo was so hilarious(8 months ago). (c'mon fucken guys give it a rest already)
I can't blame those who posted the Boyle video though.
Everyone likes a good story like that.Plus she reminds me and looks a lot like my mom.

The moment the reality show's audience and judging panel saw the small, shy, middle-aged woman, they started to smirk. When she said she wanted a professional singing career to equal that of Elaine Paige, the camera showed audience members rolling their eyes in disbelief. They scoffed when she told Simon Cowell, one of the judges, how she'd reached her forties without managing to develop a singing career because she hadn't had the opportunity. Another judge, Piers Morgan, later wrote on his blog that, just before she launched into I Dreamed a Dream, the 3000-strong audience in Glasgow was laughing and the three judges were suppressing chuckles.

The answer is that only the pretty are expected to achieve. Not only do you have to be physically appealing to deserve fame; it seems you now have to be good-looking to merit everyday common respect. If, like Susan (and like millions more), you are plump, middle-aged and too poor or too unworldly to follow fashion or have a good hairdresser, you are a non-person.

Yet why shouldn't she sound wonderful? Not every great singer looks like Katherine Jenkins. Edith Piaf would never have been chosen to strut a catwalk. Nor would Nina Simone, nor Ella Fitzgerald. As for Pavarotti But then ridicule is nothing new in Susan Boyle's life. She is a veteran of abuse. She was starved of oxygen at birth and has learning difficulties as a result. At school she was slow and had frizzy hair. She was bullied, mostly verbally. She told one newspaper that her classmates' jibes left behind the kind of scars that don't heal.

She didn't have boyfriends, is a stranger to romance and has never been kissed. "Shame," she said. Singing was her life-raft.

Great read. :thumbsup:

But no one is here 24 hours a day. The Susan Boyle video had been posted 3 times (someone said). I saw it once, and I'm so grateful that it was posted and I watched it.

So, yeah, some things get posted more than once, but that just shows the impact they've had on people.

The "You've been lied to about pirates" article was on the front page and the top of the Greatest page and people were still posting it. Same with the Boyle story.

And Newt Gingrich was considering his 2012 run every ten minutes or so yesterday.

Hrm. Maybe I need to come here more often. I saw it once. I seldom check the greatest page as I usually only visit 4 forums.

And Newt wants to run in 2012? Oooh. Exciting.

and of Particular Interest and then there is SPAMMING For Attention.

I haven't seen it yet. :hide:

She is awesome! :)

it means do a damn search first.

Maybe they should put that in the text there.

Just wondering...
