"The great thing about it is when you start seeing it in places like China and Afghanistan. It's democracy. We've kinda given democracy back to the world."

That's Simon Cowell there. Talking about the rise of the TV talent show, while suggesting he had briefly hidden democracry from China and Afghanistan under his bed, and is now handing it back, a little bit scuffed and missing at least one eye. He must be so proud. For the London Mayoral election followed this very phone-in model: for every one person voting for who they judge to the best following careful appraisal, there are two going on hair alone, and five more who think it'll be hilarious if their choice actually gets through. Brilliant.

democracy, grumblations, tv, facetiousness
