If This Doesn't Perfectly Sum Up the Sad State of American Popular Culture...

From USAToday

Fox will give American Idol host Ryan Seacrest the chance to do the seemingly impossible: Appear on a show that, at times, can draw even bigger audiences than the all-powerful Idol: Fox's Super Bowl pregame show.

Fox Sports Chairman David Hill says there's a rationale in using Seacrest that goes beyond using the Super Bowl to cross-promote Fox's biggest hit. "I see Ryan as a latter-day Dick Clark, who was a conduit through which America viewed pop culture," says Hill. "He's on his way toward assuming Dick Clark's mantle."

Said Seacrest, in a statement: "This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of my career. Seacrest, out."

Hill suggests, "more and more celebrities are showing up at Super Bowls, and they're being ignored."

DAMN IT. How DARE we ignore celebrities?! How DARE we not photograph them and ask their opinions on inane topics and bow down to them!

You are right Jason, if we are ignoring them, there is something wrong with American Pop Culture.

Sheesh.

Thank you Ryan Seacrest for saving our country once again.

White, Out.
