Maybe it was yesterday's wall to wall coverage of the birth of Snookie's new baby that sent Alice Cooper over the edge, but whatever it was our favorite Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ghoul took to his blog on the Huffington Post this morning to air a full blown rant about the Idiocy of reality TV. 

"How are people becoming stars by being idiots on TV? Why do we praise these idiots? If they were GREAT idiots on TV, if they were John Cleese-type of wonderful, crafted idiots, Fawlty Towers-style idiots, then you'd go, that's brilliant. But when they're just stupid, and you make them stars for being stupid?! I just makes me wonder what on earth the world is coming to?! It's like settling for fast food rather than gourmet food" Alice writes. 

He also has some choice words for the music related "American Idol" type reality shows, claiming "If Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, David Bowie or myself were auditioning for American Idol, we wouldn't get past the first audition, because that's not what they're looking for. They're looking for the next guy that 10 years from now, is going to be a singer on a cruise ship.

Y'know, "Here's one from Burt Bacharach. Remember me, I was on American Idol? Finished third!" That's really what their career is going to be, because there is no creativity in it." 

You tell 'em, Alice! You can read Alice's full blog post here.
