Absolutely Aiken For It, Baby....

Carefully concealing the 666 in the back of his head....      This blog's first response to reading the headline of this article was right out of King Lear: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"   Then, it got to this paragraph which rather made this blog retreat into utter despair, certain that the cultural damage will be irrevocable and, indeed, damning:

The hour-long studio special will feature Aiken and Special Guest star Barry Manilow as well as gospel singer Yolanda Adams and NBC's "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally.
Max von Sydow with Jason Miller, ironically not the producer of Clay's special, in The Exorcist
Kinda makes you want to slit your own wrists, doesn't it?   No, not slit: more like hack into them madly and viciously with a dull and rusty butcher's cleaver.   It then gets, God help us, worse: apparently there's a book on the way.   Somewhere, that thought is making baby Jesus cry-- and the ghost of Emily Dickinson rend her larynx into shreds slightly smaller than the pieces of Ashlee Simpson's talent.   Where, oh where, is Max von Sydow when we need him?

      Alright, altogether now: Have yourselves a merry little Anti-Christmas.....
