I love the fact we have a variety based talent show in this day and age but hate hate hate the manipulative editing and constant dishonesty that runs through the show.
Wendy, the dog that could "Meow" and "sung" that Simon was apparently shocked by as he had "never seen anything like it before"?
Well I assume he is made aware of the acts that appear on America's Got Talent so should know about dog ventriloquism already and from this YouTube clip should easily be able to see how it is done.

To go slightly off topic, the other thing that frustrates me is the way genuinely talented people who happen to have an act that isn't cool or relevant right now are treated by the show. There was a small clip last night where we, the audience, got to see about 4 seconds of a duo playing 2 electronic keyboards. It was immediately dismissed by the judges and the show itself as terrible so passed by quickly to get to "talent" such as the stripping dinner ladies.
What is that saying to our young people? That you may as well not bother developing your talent if it doesn't fit certain criteria (The criteria being either you have to be at sub X-Factor standard if you're a singer or if your act is anything else you have to be the right side of camp to impress David, be over a certain age and willing to drop your pants to impress Simon, be a cute dog or seem as classy as a 100 piece choir so that ITV can show that it's not all chavs who enter the contest).
