Is American Idol subliminally lowering the iq of its viewers?

A friend of mine insisted that I sit down and watch American Idol. From the sound of it I was already screaming inside to be some where else. Okay. so I sat down to watch it. The show started. Immediately, I had an overwhelming feeling that life was ping me by. As the show continued I began to breathe heavily from discontent. I felt trapped like a rat. The next think I know. My friend was slapping me gently saying...Are you okay? Are you okay? Speak to me! I was lying face up on the floor. I got up right away. I saw the TV and the show was going on. again I felt the sick feeling coming back. I ran outside. ( because I thought I was going to throw up). But I immediately felt better. I looked at the outdoors and said. I will never leave you again. And returned to living my life to the fullest.
