Mail Bag Update 3/12/08

My name is Jessica Sebastian and I am a fan of American Idol since season one. I really liked this season so far and I really liked Asia'h Epperson this season, and I think you are responsible for her elimination. You voted for Kristy Cook who was much worse than her. I don't understand why you have to vote for someone as bad as Kristy when you know that she doesn't deserve to be in the top 12. SO FUCK YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKIGN FUCKERS! YOU ARE SO FUCKING EVIL HOW COUDL YOU DO THIS TO ASIA"H SHE WAS SO GOOD AND EHER DAD DIED AND YOU VOTED HER OFF! I"M CRYING SO HARD NOW BECAUSYE SHE WAAS SO GOOD AND YOU FUCKING RUINED IT YOU RUINED IT FUCK YOU SHE SI SUCH A BEUTIFUL GIRL AND SHE DESERVED TO HAVE SUCCESS NOT KRISTY SHE IS UGLY AND SHE CANT SING I CANT BELIVE YOU MADE HER STAY ISNTEAD OF ASIA"H> FUCK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE EVEIL PEOPLE AND YOU WILL ALL BURN IN HELL BC UYR PROBABLY GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M starting MY own web page..VOTE for the MOST talented!!! I'm really not understanding why anyone would EVEN want to follow your lame game! But ha ha, the joke is ON you.....NO one listened this year! They voted off Danny because he was the least talented, they did NOT vote YOUR way and keep him just to annoy others! So keep it up...maybe people are finally wising up and voting for the MOST talented...not the most popular! Stop by my positive web page ANYTIME!
-Patti

I have never seen a person so full of hate that they would down others just to get a laugh. That is very sad. Sad to know there are ppl out there like you. Even if some of the contestants are not as good as some others, that is no reason to down them or their hopes and dreams. I'm sure it was hard for you to be rejected, but come on don't make other ppl feel like you did or worse. When I first heard of your site, I was like no way there are ppl that do this. What do you do vote over and over all night. Really I think you need something else to do. Like get a job!!
-Lynn

Ha Ha Ha Ha danny went home voting for the worst didn't work did it sorry & by the way he's a queer america hates queers.
-Michael

My boyfriend told me about your site.OMG! I can't beleave how mean you guys are(and yes my boyfriend hates you too)How petty disguting ,cheap,and down rite craul of you guys to bash Carly for hatin Sanjaya.I hate Sanjaya and all the ppl I know do to,infact my boss,ppl I work with and everybody I talked to hated him.You dumb sun of a bitch /bitches! Sanjaya sucks and will always suck.He has and will never have one ounce of talent and is a zero a nothing! Who gives a flying fucky fuckity fuck! what you guys think your opinon doesn't matter.You morans think your so cool with your "lets ruin the show" atitudes and your "really cool" site.HA! HA! real fans don't beleave your trash and we want the good to win and the bad to be thrown out into the fucken guttar were they belong.You fucken die and eat shit and go hell!
-Ulysses

I think that you guys had a great run during the Sanjaya era, and now you guys are just going downhill. You want to switch around your vote for the worst pics? Two people went home that you had up for vote for the worst, so maybe people are NOT voting for people you put on your site because, well, no one likes your site. Trust me, I use to, during last season I thought it was good but now your having no effect. Also I don't even get WHY you picked Danny, VFTW? Danny was clearly not worse than Luke, Chekeze, etc... If you really want a vote for the worst girl, go after KKKristy Lee Cook. She's the worst.
-Beth

I always agree with you! Sanjaya is an Idol legend, and should have won. Danny is my all time favorite Idol! I always voted for him, and when he got kicked off tonight I cried. When I IMed my friends, they were crying too. Now that he is gone, the show must be ruined. So go Amanda! The show is American "Idol". We can't Idolize anyone, unless they have burned down at least one pool in their lifetime. Or are as shexi as Danny :-).... Bye!
-Shaniqua

Why all the negative mail and comments? I FUCKING LOVE THIS SITE...I enjoy reading and laughing whilst I sip my morning coffee at work. eh, I should be doing work, but VFTW comes first...Perez second. Anyway, the site brings a smile to my face every day and pisses off the douchebags in my office who are true Idol fans. And what's the deal with all the fucking "gay protection vibes" coming off these comments in your mail bag? Idol was created by gay people, promotes gay people, makes fun of gay people, and eventually rewards them. hello? Does the Gaiken ring anyone's bell? As for crushing the dreams of such contestants? Hardly. They crushed their own dreams when they couldn't cut in the real professional world and had to resort to this nonsense "reality." Star Search? Recording Deals? Stripper? If you couldn't make it the first time around, come on over to American Idol, sing with pitch problems, and wink into the camera on the movable dolly--we'll love you anyway. excuse me...coffee sip. laughter commences. applause resumes.
-Brian

YOU IDIOTS! I hate you guys, but I thought at least you might be able to help keep Danny in, but no, YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT! thanks for nothing.
-Jill

Okay, you can go ahead and vote for the "worst" because if you look at the grand scope of things, well, it doesn't change the outcome much. (Of course Asia'h should be in the top 12 and Sabrina should have been last year) But what bugs me is that you are so incredibly mean to the contestants! Each and every single one of them worked their butt off to get where they are, and even if they don't deliver a good performance, they still deserve praise. What do you think Paula's there for? She makes each contestant feel like they deserve to be there, and you talk about them like they don't even deserve to live. And stop being so mean to Paula too; she's not drunk she has psychological problems (or something along those lines) and that's why she acts so weird. But seriously, it's the cruelty to the contestants that bugs me so much, and you really should stop and think before you say what you say. I'd like to see you get up there and sing in front of >30,000,000 people and then take the crap that you dish out. So if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. But who am I kidding? You're obviously going to continue being jerks.
-Rachael

A few months ago I couldn't have imagined anything that would actually make me sit through American Idol, let alone go lurking on websites devoted to it. (I was living out of the country during the whole Sanjaya adventure). Recently, I accidentally stumbled into your site, and was immediately hooked. I laughed for hours reading some of the old threads. I actually tuned in this week and even voted for the worst. (Other members of my family were quite disturbed by my odd enthusiasm for Danny.) I was devastated by last night's results. but I'll still keep watching, because thanks to you guys I can now see the humor in Randy's inane ramblings, Paula's bizarre antics, and the potted performances of the plants. Keep it up, guys!
-Jed

Listen, I enjoy reading VFTW because there's some funny shit on there, but I've just about had it with the percieved superiority of the moderators there (especially the Deb one.) It's just an internet message board about a cheesey network show, for chrissakes. There's really no need for all this "read the rules" and "You're banned" and "You have no idea how abrasive I can be" bullshit. Settle down! And notice I didn't post this on the message board because I, unlike you, don't get off on fighting with anonymous people on the internet. That's just plain retarded, even more so than the retarded little show we're all here to mock. I wish you would lighten up on the internet nazism, because you keep turning what oughta be a fun, shits n giggles timewaster into an exercise in geeks gone wild with power. Stop, you're killing the fun!
-CharmAttack19

I only started watching "American Idol" last year, and I remember when I first heard about your site, I was shocked and ticked off. Then... I realized how hilariously genius it was. However, I still hold a teeny grudge against you all for keeping that horrible Sanjaya on as long as you did. :) Anyway, Dave, I went to middle school and high school with you in Naperville (can I say that, or will you have psycho angry fans trying to hunt you down?). Kudos on making such a great site... I love reading the hate mail in all its misspelled, grammar-abusing, expletive-filled glory!!! GO, VFTW!!!
-Heather

i think the girl kristy lee cook sucks too. you might want to throw her up there. she's only around cause she sings country. on the guy side, it's chickezeeeeeeeee
-Skinny D.

So I'm sure this will most likely just get posted under your "hate mail" section, but whatever. I'm just very disappointed that you guys posted Danny's Christmas video on your website. That's most likely how youtube and all the talk shows found it. I thought you wanted to keep Danny around, but posting the video only hurt him and made him loose fans. I loved him because he's a great singer and entertainer, and I wanted him to at least get a spot on the tour. Thank you for ruining his chances. In the future if you'd like to keep the so-called "worst contestants" on the show, don't post things that will hurt them instead of helping them. Bye
-Christina

I just want you to know, that you're a bunch of hypocrites! And let me explain why: You said you support danny, but in fact you did everything there is to ruin his chances. Posting his videos of Santa and spongebob so that everyone could see them. Did you ever stop to think his barely 18? You may say that if he films them he should take responsibility for them. I don't know about you but, I sure did stupid things when I was in high school, and I wouldn't want them to comeback to hunt me. You laugh at every little girl who likes danny and writes at IDF on him "don't you know his gay?" it may come as a shock to you, but most 12-14 girls don't have gaydar. I should know that, I used to be 12 years old girl myself. You basically sending those poor girls who like danny and think he is cute, but too immature to understand that's its ok to be gay, right to the arms of the spatula archuleta. Maybe someone should just come out and say that "The Emperor is naked!" You think your helping and doing something good for danny, you say you like having someone as fun as danny on AI, but as it turns out; he is just another victim of your site. I used to like your site, and I follow it all over season 6. I used to think you were so right and hilarious. But now I just fell very sad and ambivalent. I hope you will publish it, I would love to see your response .And please excuse my bad grammar; English is not my mother tongue.
-Hila

First of all, I find it funny how a lot of the people on this site look for grammar mistakes in mail bag messages before actually trying to understand the point the person is trying to make. They remind me of some idiots I've met that don't give anyone elses' opinions a chance and just think they are right all the time. I understand that you guys KNOW you're a bunch of messed up hypocrites, but sometimes you just have to realize that it isn't as cool as you apparently think it is...Second, you guys aren't giving it a chance. It's not all about pop singers. There is a variety of genres involved - country, rock, r&b, and pretty much everything else. If you really think your votes are going to make a difference, think again. You're outnumbered by all the people that find it entertaining and love rooting on their favorite singers. It's the perfect show for making dreams come true for people that can actually sing, no matter how much you heartless people don't like seeing it happen. I also hate how you find every tiny imperfection with someone and spread it around like it's a huge deal...I mean, it's not like YOU'RE perfect either! The only reason I'm writing to this mail bag thing is because I'm trying to convince you that there really isn't a point to this and you shouldn't be so quick to judge the show. I know you're entitled to your own opinion, but it's smarter to THINK before you come to a conclusion.

Dear Sirs,
In reference to your website with the address of http://www.votefortheworst.com, my services and legal expertise have been retained by an organization of concerned members of the public, Troubled Watchers of American Television (or TWAT, for short.) This group of viewers, both young and old, have taken great umbrage with the purpose of your website, which has obviously been created because you guys are totally gay, you tried out for American Idol and failed, and you totally just like to ruin the chances of honest, hard-working young people trying their luck at stardom. Let the record show that Sanjaya was total crap, and it's because of you losers that talented people like that one guy with the hair or that other chick with the thing (you know which one I mean) were voted off long before their time. Since I am totally a lawyer, I have been hired to sue the pants off of you guys so that your website will be shut down for good. I will use all the skills that I learned through my years of pursuing a legal degree from the Bob Laublaw Online University, Law School, and Pornography Emporium to make sure that you dicks regret ever voting for guys like Sanjaya (who, let the record show again, really sucked) at the expense of awesome talents like Melinda Doolittle, Chris Sligh, and Katharine McPhee's breasts. However, there is one way for you to avoid being sued for lots of money and being thrown in jail by the mighty power of the Fox Network, who will totally probably be all about helping me stop you guys from spoiling the dreams of people who can REALLY sing, like Luke Menard and, umm, whoever else got voted off already this year, I don't remember their names. Anyway, the way you can avoid this totally legitimate and not at all made up threat of a lawsuite is to cease and desist watching American Idol effective immediately. You must also turn this site into a Carly Smithson/David Archuleta fansite forthwith upon receipt of this message, and I must never again see on this site any reference to the following items:
Sanjaya
Ponyhawk
Chicken Little
Scott Savol
Man Boobs
Producers "Pimping" Contestants
Bride of Chucky
KKKristy
David Archuleta's Breathing Issues
All the other totally gay stuff you guys talk about.
Those are the terms of the agreement, and the only way that you can avoid having your website shut down by way of suing and stuff. I eagerly await the transformation of your unfortunate website into a Carly/David jerkfest. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Phineas J. Turtlebottom, Esq.
Total Lawyer
