Does anyone else wish this infatuation with William Hung will end?
It seems every night on MSNBC on at least two of the evening shows all of a sudden I hear, "She bang! She bang!" He is a mainstay on Olberman's Countdown.

Enough already!!!

3. Agreed. His 15 minutes of fame was over 14 minutes ago
Another what I call "immediate channel changer".

4. I think it's disgusting.
He's being exploited for laughs... and he's permitting it to occur. Sick. :puke:

8. NO! He's a GENIUS and the best thing to hit TV since Paris Hilton!

I want them to star together in a new musical reality show!

11. He has a product. People are buying it.
Perhaps this is the final endpoint for capitalism.

13. I always just thought that he was kind of adorable.
There was just something about him that made me smile when he sang that song. I didn't realize that he was still being marketed. I'd never buy his CD or anything but he was just so darn cute.

14. I think it's mildly entertaining...
I mean, he is allowing it to happen, so it can't be that bad. I just can't believe people are actually this crazy about him. I don't get that partof it.

15. If you saw the show when he first performed, you would understand his
popularity. It really was quite a moment because he is so fresh and naive. His heart won the crowd. Unfortunately, that moment is now gone and can't be recaptured again. I admit though, it was an incredible moment when he first did it. People wanted to laugh at him, but his sincerity kind of took people aback.

16. Actually, I did see the show when he first performed...
I thought it was very entertaining and definately cute...but nothing to start cult followings over. I mean, if they want I will get up there and sing an equally horrible version of "she bangs"
