American Idol freepers
On the show American Idol, there is some outcry because a website named Vote For The Worst is skewing the results by instructing people to vote for the worst singer on the show.
Right now the focus of the anti-Idol people is a middle eastern looking kid named Sanjaya. He is getting so many votes because of this website and some good singers have been booted from the show.

I watch Idol (a guilty pleasure) and the kid IS TERRIBLE.
NO FLAMING PLEASE because while I do watch the show I could not care less about what this website is doing!

Check out some of the crazy emails they are getting from huge AI fans who may be freepers and/or other assorted idiots......

"Thousands of Americans are giving their lives for our country right now. Mothers and fathers are grieving the loss of their children. Soldiers are suffering in horrible conditions and their lives will be forever changed. Maybe you can start another website to acknowledge our heroes by sending care packages or writing to our soldiers instead of devoting your life to a meaningless "cause." America is free because of them, and I don't think our founding fathers would see this website as an intelligent use of our democracy. For all those voting for Sanjaya, please don't be ignorant, and remember what is REALLY important in our world and make a difference by helping those who are helping our country."

"I guess the title "American Idol" means nothing to the American public huh? You started this website based on the fact the American Idol is a fraud show and your trying to get back at it by doing this? Imagine the message you display to the international community by doing this?" -March


"I hope that whatever dream you people have, that there is someone who will destroy it just because they can. You have no right to screw up a lagitimate competition just to entertaian yourselves. You people rate right up there with child molesters."

1. "You people rate right up there with child molesters."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer takes the blame for Patti and Selma's smoking at their job, saying that both of their cigarettes are his, and the sisters' supervisor says, "You, sir, are worse than Hitler!"

:rofl:

2. "You guys gave Bush his 2terms as president I brushed it off."
You guys gave Bush his 2terms as president I brushed it off. But putting through some lame ass contestant on a TV show that's just crossing the line. Now you guys are all over the news,radio and Internet, making money through sponsors possibly. We'll see who has the last laugh here. We'll show you who has nothing better to do, by taking your asses to court and protesting about people don't have the right to vote for lame asses.
-Matthew


OK...some people take this shit waaaay too seriously, obviously to the detriment of the republic.

:rofl:

4. You grossly overestimate the American public.
People love cheering freaks on. They love watching freaks taunt and bash each other.

They also love putting the good looking over the truly talented. If Mama Cass got on that show, she'd have been kicked off ages ago. It's all about appearance because THAT is what sells when the people are tried of "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"

Hell, have an old guy molest a mentally handicapped kid in a public park and the lot of them will do nothing and watch. And guess what? THAT actually happened too.
