'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell has said he does not understand some people's obsession with the micro-blogging site, Twitter.
Speaking on the US entertainment show Extra, Cowell said "Why would you want to talk to people like that? It's like phoning someone randomly whose number you don't even have and saying: 'Hi, it's Simon, I went out with my family this weekend'."
He was commenting on Twitter after being read a message from his 'American Idol', colleague Ryan Seacrest which said 'spent weekend with my fam'.
Cowell responded: "What's sad is that he's having to use the Twitter language like he's 17. 'My fam' - how difficult is it to add on an 'ily'?"
