Amir and Streeter are two guys who work for CollegeHumor.com and the two of them have had a prank war going on for a while now. The pranks have becoming more elaborate and last year Amir pranked Streeter with the old fake marriage proposal on the JumboTron at a Yankee Game. Well a year and half later Streeter strikes back with the fake 500K half court shot. Amir's reaction to "winning" is great but the reaction to not winning is priceless.
I can't wait to see what come next in this entertaining prank war.
Season 8 of American Idol kicked off last night and the first episode already has given us a taste of the changes made by the shows producers and so far I think they are on the right track. First we now have a 4th judge and so far I like Kara and how she evaluates talent. The verbal skirmish with Bikini girl was a bit much but so is auditioning in a skimpy bikini and high heels:
But give [insert name here] credit, she made it to Hollywood with minimal talent and maximum exposure. The other change was to focus on good-o-great singers and no-so-much on the yearly freaks and 15-minute seekers. I found this to be refreshing because in past years some audition episodes were so painful to watch I would zip right through them.
One thing that hasn't changed is how goofy Ryan Seacrest is. When the show opened, we got the signature "This is American Idol" opening lines from Ryan as the camera panned over the Grand Canyon. Sorry Ryan, but that is the Grand Canyon not a singing completion. He even went as fat to try and high five a visually impaired contestant. Check it out:
Hopefully tonight, AI can pull back some of the Seacrestness and give us more of the singers.
