San Francisco City Hall Supervisor Bevan Dufty Chastizes Idol



American Idol may be auditioning delusional hopefuls tomorrow in San Francisco, but it doesn't mean the city is happy about it. San Fransisco City Hall Supervisor Bevan Dufty is introducing a resolution that basically admonishes the producers of Idol for not paying their workers enough. The San Francisco Chronicle says that "the nonbinding measure calls on FremantleMedia North America, which produces "Idol," "Family Feud," "The Price Is Right" and other shows, to provide its employees with industry standard benefits and comply with state wage and hour laws." Ooh, that's gotta be bad publicity for your money-grubbing show, eh, Nigel? Word gets around fast I guess!

This is great stuff, although it doesn't surprise me one bit. I wish I could get down to the auditions today and join in the fray.
