by Jess Zimmerman. Okay, I don't know who this person is. Her teeth are very white and I think she's 13? But evidently she was on American Idol, and she and her other white-teethed glee club buddies from American Idol season 10 (!!!) are taking up arms against plastic. I was pretty sure American Idol contestants were kind of required to be plastic, but maybe it's some kind of Highlander thing. At any rate, the message here is that you should refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle plastics. The hell? There used to only be three steps to this! This sounds HARD now. If you like American Idol and you want to hear these people sing, you're in luck … sort of. They don't seem to have bothered to write a song about plastics or anything that might have actually had marketing value, but they do kind of noodle and drone a little bit at the end there.
