Susan Boyle

Gospel sighting, or exploitation of our prejudices?

My question is, "What if she hadn't sung well?" Would we have laughed at her expense? Why are we more noble now because we feel we've learned a shallow lesson of "Never judge a book by the cover?" Wouldn't a better lesson be "treat each human with dignity and respect regardless of outward appearance or ability to sing?" Don't get me wrong, I hope she wins the contest, I just feel a little uneasy about the way she is being exploited. Is it not a story, only because we have judged her on the outside already?
