A Paradigm Shift in Pop Culture?

Why is this Susan Boyle person all over my internet?

When I say ‘my internet’, what I mean is that I am in the United States. Not Great Britain. The show on which she is a contestant is called “Britain’s Got Talent”. We already have “America’s Got Talent”, and it’s a pretty good show. Do they have the finalists from AGT On British television and all over England’s internet? Somehow I doubt it.

And it isn’t just the internet. I saw a spot about her on a promo for Access Hollywood or something like that. Enough is enough. She’s just a contestant on a TV show in a country on another continent. Why is she getting all of this coverage around here?
