I admit I didn't watch the most recent season of American Idol, but I am aware that an impossibly innocent young lad by the name of David Archuleta captured the hearts of tween girls and moms all across America, but their votes just weren't enough to win him the final prize. The above video displays the aftermath of this catastrophe. (via Dlisted and Ed)
I love how the girl on the right (just after Cook won) was laughing at the other girls overreacting. She and possibly the other girl off-frame are the only potentially sane and rational ones. Not that they're not pathetic, but they at least have potential to be significant!
An interesting example of "Mass Hysteria" and Social Dominance! Notice how the 2 taller girls from the onset are seriously more emotional while all the others are watching their own reactions and then become fully "engaged" in the hysteria!! You can see who are the leaders and who are the followers here - a great example of "Peer Pressure"!
Ok. I think that was the funniest thing I have ever seen. It kind of makes me envious that they have the capacity to care so much. I must have been like that at one point about something. I just can't remember when or what.
