It's a Cruel, Cruel World

Newsweek says that Simon Cowell is to blame for a whole culture of nastiness that has cropped up since he began judging on American Idol. "None of his nasty critiques seem so shocking now, of course. We are a culture that thrives on meanness--mean blogs, mean political campaigns, mean girls. We are so accustomed to mean outbursts, we barely blink when a congressman yells 'You lie!' at the president during a speech. Cowell helped take us there."
