Sydney Morning Herald - Susan Boyle’s shock talent show loss has reportedly caused the surprise singing sensation to suffer an emotional meltdown. Britain’s Daily Mail is reporting that Boyle was rushed to The Priory - the famed celebrity rehab clinic - because of “exhaustion” following her Britain’s Got Talent defeat.

In essence, we are all testosterone filled fraternity bros trawling bars for drunken babes to bed. But as a society, we cruise the pop-culture landscape for ugly people, one legged animals, fat kids, underdogs … to “feel-good fuck.”
The “feel-good fuck” is that instant satisfaction and heady sensation that comes from watching a wheel-chair kid score the winning goal, hearing about some life saving puppy and yes… seeing an ugly person sing beautifully.
We watch the clips on YouTube, chat about it at the watercooler (does anyone’s office actually have a watercooler?) and maybe forward it on to a few friends. The whole experience leaves us smugly satisfied that “this crazy world of ours is going to be alllllllright!”
The trouble with SuBo is that after the “feel-good fuck” she stayed the whole night. And now, she’s soiled the sheets.
She’s now reportedly suffering an emotional breakdown, after threatening to quit BGT and losing her temper with the paparazzi.
That’s not cool Susan… That’s not cool at all.
You were meant to roll out of bed at 3am-ish, collect your floral moo-moo from the floor and slink into oblivion to release an album that no one will buy.
Revealing a human side is the one-night equivalent of sending five consecutive day-after text-messages.
So as SuBo crazily waddles well over the line of the acceptable way for an ugly person, one legged animal, fat kid, underdog to behave post “feel-good fuck” the question must be asked, is there any other the collateral damage from our collective pop-culture conquests.
Should we check in with the Sneezing Panda and make sure he isn’t a statistic of swine flu?
Should we be worried about the Star Wars Kid using that golf ball retriever to become a cutter?
And is the Grape Lady now sucking vino through a drip as opposed to a glass?
