X-Factor, Britney ... and Bullying

 ~ GreenTech Geek special post ~

Simon and Britney:  Looking good last night.
Those of you who read my Atta Girl post about Mitt Romney's bullying past know that I have a thing about bullying. I even collaborated with a San Diego producer to make a music video about it.

Well, I tuned into the X-Factor premier last night -- mostly because I have (inexplicably) sort of been missing Simon Cowell ... AND I really wanted to see how survivor Britney Spears has been holding up. Both Simon and Britney impressed and were enjoyable enough to watch.

But then, toward the end of last night's show, I was blown away. The program reached a level I never expected to see from reality TV. A young contestant named Jillian Jensen got up on stage and, together with judge Demi Lovato, educated the world about bullying in a truly unforgettable way.

See it, after the jump ...


Yes, believe it or not, reality TV still has the potential to amaze ... to enlighten ...  and to warm one's heart. I wonder if Mitt Romney was watching.
