Mail Bag Update 3/16/07

YOU STUPID PEOPLE ARE TAKING A GREAT AMERICAN TV SHOW AND TURNING IT INTO YOUR BULLSHIT, JUST BECAUSE YOUR LIVES ARE SO BORING DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO RUIN PERFECTLY GOOD TV SHOWS. I HOPE YOU GET THOUSANDS OF LAW SUITS FOR YOUR STUPID DUMBASS BEHAVIORS. YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS, AND ANOTHER THING HOWARD STERN IS THE MOST DIRTIEST MOST NASTY PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HOPE YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE BEHIND THIS ROT IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Staci

i hope you guys are proud. perhaps you could focus efforts on reaching out
to so many americans on world peace, poverty, education, politics?? Its
really funny to shatter the dreams of truly talented people & also build
angst toward this dillusional 17 yr boy who "truly" believes he deserves to
win this contest. way to promote an "american idol" Also- is this Sunjaya
"future gay" even american??? Sad to see Sundance & Brandon go. keep an eye
open for the karma police fuckers.
-Missy

You are truly twisted. I feel sorry for your mother.
-Rosemary

I think it is horrible you are trying to get people to vote for the people that are terrible. You are the cause many of the would be America Idols were voted off the show. You are lifting people's self-esteme without them relizing it so they think they are great. But if they win no one will buy their CDs. It is sick you would do this.
I will vote for the worst
not for the worst singer
but
for worst website...
My
vote
goes
to
WWW.VOTEFORTHEWORST.COM

HA HA HA HOW DO YA LIKE THAT!!!!
-Scott

Politically speaking this website should be shut down! this is the most lame stupidest thing i have ever heard of .. and if thats all you have your time for is to wreck a talent show seriously get a life.. let the kid get kicked off.. he doesnt deserve to be there why make him suffer all the criticism and stuff like that thats plain rude and upsetting especially if someone that deserves to be on there gets kicked off in his place.. this is ridiculous.. there are some people that want that position soo bad and yet your going to rig the show and make it so that someone who doesnt deserve it gets it thats stupid!

"AI is ripe to be messed with..." So said Matt Lauer on this morning’s Today show, referring to Vote for the Worst. OK, so I have watched AI since it began, and have never voted. There, I said it. I guess I am not in the ‘demographic’ that is obsessed with the show, and sees the need to vote. (And for the record, YES, I do vote when it counts – like for who will be our next President…do YOU?)
Anyway, It IS about time for AI to be messed with…and good for VFTW to do it. This season is pathetic, with kids that can’t sing and judges who psychologically steer viewers to put their own favorites into the finals. Let’s face it – Melinda Doolittle could wipe the floor with Sanjaya, but she’ll get a record contract anyway. Let’s screw with AI and get Sanjaya the title of “YOUR American Idol”.
And for those of you for whom this website appears to be threatening your very existence – get a life. We’re at WAR, the economy is a mess, and there is genocide in Africa …for God sake, it’s just a “singing competition”.

I just wanted to give my two cents on your little campaign. I know that you won't post this because you know that it's true and don't want to be embarassed, however I feel like giving it anyway.
I am sure you must know how pathetic you are. Do you people seriously not have anything better to do? For the past 6 years American Idol has given talented "nobody's" a chance to become stars. Small town people like Carrie Underwood who without this opportunity would never have had the chance to show the world how talented they are. I am sure that the producers do have their little tricks that they pull to make the reality show (it is, in fact, a reality show) a little more interesting, however the overall outcome of the show is always positive.
My guess is that one of you tried out for American Idol and thought you were a great singer, and then weren't given the chance to audition for the judges. Now you are bitter and have made it your goal to mock the show with your silly little website. Nonetheless, I can guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will not acheive your goal of seeing Sanjaya win the competition. He will be out within the next few weeks and no one will even remember your attempts to sabatoge the competition.
My advice? Go get laid or something and let go of your bitter vendetta. The show does good things for good people and they can't let every hopeful through to Hollywood as much as you would have liked to go.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT IS VOTING FOR DAMNED SONJAY FUCKIN' MALAKAR IS N IDIOT. THIS SHOW IS ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE'S DREAMS COME TRU N U GUYS R MESSIN' DAT UP. EVERY WEEK HE'S IN DA BOTTOM N HE KNOWS HE DESERVES TO GO HOME BECUZ HE'S IN SHOCK EVERY TIME HE STAYS, SEND HIS NO SINGING AS HOME. I MISS BRANDON ALOT, TO ANSWER UR IGNORANT ASS QUESTION.

IF HE STAYS ANOTHER WEEK I WILL DO ANY AND EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO BAN THIS DAMN WEBSITE N I CAN HAVE IT DONE SO, STOP BEIN' N ASSHOLE N DO WHAT'S RITE!!!

You must take pleasure in hurting people. I've never paid that much attention to your site in the past because even what you called the "worst" were not that bad. But this year I think you are really playing around with a kid's future. No...Sanjaya is not ready for American Idol and by you and your goons (and that includes Howard Stern) continually voting for him you are doing this kid a huge injustice. Even if he does have a talent that can be improved you are ruining every chance he may have for a future in what he dreams of doing. You should be totally ashamed. You've made this child into a joke and I don't think it's funny. If Sanjaya was my child I would have you in a lawsuit so fast that it would make your head spin. Grow up and join the adults.....Oh..Excuse me....I forgot....Your role model is Howard Stern....Go Figure! You must be a terribly unhappy and miserable person to have such a campaign as this. If I had to vote for the worst...it would be a vote for the person who does this site because you are the worst I've come across. Absolutely.. PATHETIC!
-Amy

What you are doing with this website should be abolished. You are playing into the producers hands perfectly. Not that I don't agree with your feelings towards the horrible choices that was passed through to the top 24 but you completely ruining the show because of the dreadful performances that are being given by Sanjaya. He can't sing and he is not entertaining. I am a true fan of American Idol because of the singing aspect and not the entertaining aspect. Reality TV is created for entertaining so I agree with the ridiculous performances during the auditions but something I always liked about American Idol was that when it came to the top 24, they mostly all had a good voice and now because of this website and because Sanjaya is still singing each week I have lost interest in anything to do with this show. You should be disgusted by what you are supporting here. And if this continues you will be sorry when the show gets cancelled.
-Mike

You guys suck as much at life as Sanjaya does at singing.
-Matthew

I love you guys. Seriously. I'm an English professor and one of the highlights of my week is reading your mailbag for giggles. I had no idea that "walefare" even existed (I'd love to learn more about this program), and I'm utterly disappointed that I've never felt "jeallios" or "mutainted" about anything.
I feel a little sorry for these people. Sure they have a right to feel upset that their whole world is being mocked, but they are probably clueless about what their letters truly reveal (i.e. low IQ, lack of critical thinking ability, zero social skills). My sympathy, however, is not as strong as my need to laugh. Please, please, please keep 'em coming.
And, by the way, I find your weekly write-ups to be wickedly insightful and funny. I've sent you an email or two in the past (though you wouldn't remember me), but this season is probably your best so far. That most likely has something to do with how horrid most of the contestants are. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Do you ever feel that way? :-)
-Mary Ellen

C'mon, fellas! A "Vote for the Worst" website? And you give such lame reasons for creating it...sheesh!!!
Whatever happened to the good old days of punk ass graffiti, standing on the corner making fun of elderly passerbys, petty larceny even???
You guys want to be a public nuisance but you're too damn lazy to even leave the house!
Jeez, just put down your laptop, get outside and start bothering people one-on-one, in person, for real! Live the American dream!!!!
-K.D.

Greetings. My wife is a huge fan of American Idol, and she pressured
me in the ways only a woman can into watching the show with her.
Astonishingly, I enjoyed it.. At first. Even during the auditions, I was rolling my eyes each and every time someone claimed it was a "singing competition". Then came Hollywood, and the cuts. The first time America voted and Sanjaya et al moved forward, I boggled. How could America be so stupid? The next week, I told my wife that if Sanjaya made it through another round, I wasn't watching anymore, because it was so ridiculously stupid. I was irritated, and frustrated. But then I found this website. I read, I digested, I basked in the fact that there weren't people who took this too seriously, and I wallowed in the fact there were other people thinking the same thing as me! That was several weeks ago, and now I positively giggle when the worst survive another round. Thank you for your dose of sanity for an incomprehensible, pure-image, marketing brouhaha that innocently proclaims itself a "singing competition". Yes, Virginia, and there are WMDs in Iraq.

Listen up you insignificant jerk you NEED to find a better way to send you time then picking on 17 year old kids! That’s messed up and you need help. If you get your kicks out of picking on little kids then I just feel sorry for you. All you doing is making a fool of yourself. So you should just stop humiliating a kid who just wants the be the next American Idol. Why are you trying to destroy his dreams? What did mommy and daddy not give you enough hugs when you where little. Well to bad. No one freaking cares! Get over yourself!!! Stop hurting him and his family. Why would to cause someone so much pain? What is wrong with you? Honestly you moron! Obviously the judges thought he was good enough to make it through. If he’s not good enough to be in the competition now then just let him get kicked off. That’s just cruel to help him stay in the competition if he’s not strong enough to stay in the competition. Wouldn’t you feel horrible if someone did that to you? Think about it you jerk! Think about how this effects him. What if he kills himself because of this. I would hope you kill yourself. Even if he doesn’t kill himself you should anyway because the world has enough jerks we don’t need anymore. So maybe you can do everyone a favor and just go away! Leave Sanjaya alone! No one wants you here and the world would be a MUCH happier place if you would just SHUT UP!!!!!!!
