Apparently the American entertainment industry is really, really terrified of seeming to endorse peace and/or love: in addition to the What a Girl Wants airbrushing embarrassment, it turns out that the American Idol producers have decided to scrap a planned charity single of the Idol contestants singing Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now is Love," replacing it with a double A-side of the red-blooded Bruce Greenwood favorites "I'm Proud to be an American" and "God Bless the USA."

So why does the world hate us, again?
