David Cook

Now don't get us wrong. Carly Smithson annoys us too. We don't particularly care for most of this year's top 10. But the always ridiculous American Idol fans (the very same ones who write us hate mail) are now resorting to harassing and stalking the Idols while they tour the country. Creepy. Idletard.com has a great story about all of their idiocy. A girl carried a sign that said, "I killed 12 million people after the American Idol finale. I’m looking for my last victim. Have you seen this man?" that included a picture of David Cook. One person asked David Archuleta to sign a piece of paper that David found to have his family's private phone number on it. And someone shot Michael Johns with a water gun before the Idols got back on their tour bus. Seriously now. We love to make fun of Idol, but we like even more to make fun of the moronic fans. They're certifiable. So watch out on tour, Idols. I'm sure this is only a taste of what's to come from the losers who watch this show.

Reviews are coming in for the American Idol 2008 tour and they're just as we expected. Here are our favorite quotes thus far that chronicle this massive failure:

• "That's what "Idol" has done to this world. For seven seasons now, the sex-and-violence-free "family" show of our time has been informing and compromising kids' tastes in music, TV and concerts by forcing them to embrace ye ancient music of yesteryear. Much of that music is great, but more of it is truly, vilely heinous." - Doug Elfman, Las Vegas Review Journal
• "[David Archuleta] seemed genuinely terrified by his surroundings and struggled to get his fragile voice heard above the din." - Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle
• "The last to take the stage was Cook, who greeted fans with his now-famously subdued rock version of Lionel Richie's "Hello." He would give the same treatment to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Both were bores.He also played his new single, "The Time of My Life," which probably isn't good enough to be played in a bar." - Jim Harrington, San Jose Mercury News

• "A preshow danceoff between concertgoers and a giant felt Pop Tart, a 30-minute audience Guitar Hero competition, and a constant loop of jumbotron ad spots for So You Think You Can Dance, Guitar Hero, and the debut album by already-been-dropped Blake Lewis sometimes made me feel like my mom and I were trapped inside a giant, insufferable infomercial. It was total product-placement hell, at times." - Lyndsey Parker, Yahoo! Music

Apparently Guitar Hero is sponsoring the Idol tour this summer. Whatever. The fascinating part of the article is this picture.

Everyone remember this when you think about trying out for AI8. You have to do this. And again... Carly manages to look like an idiot in every picture she appears in.

The Bo Bice t-shirt with autographed CD and catalog are back up for bid in the VFTW 2008 Charity Auction. The high bidder did not pay for the items, so we put them back up for a new bid.

We also have a brand new sign from the Today Show concert series signed by David Cook and David Archuleta. This is a great collector's item, so tell everyone about it who loves one of the Davids.

All proceeds after eBay fees for both auctions will be going to Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. The event is next Friday, so both items will only be up for 3 days on auction. So bid high for this great cause. Thanks!

Edited To Add: If you want to donate to this great cause but are not interested in these items, you can also do so here at Vote for the Worst's Relay for Life page. Thanks!

David Cook was spotted out and about at a Dodgers' game with his date, obnoxious ex-Idol finalist Kimberly Caldwell. David... seriously... you can do so much better than this loser. Right now, you can get some actually attractive women since you're the famous one. Then later, when no one likes you anymore, Sloppy Seconds Caldwell will still be there, looking for attention. Obviously she must be good in bed, because there is no other reason to like her, as is evident here by a blog post.

As we know, all of the Idol contestants read VFTW, despite what Carlyplant would have you believe. Jason Yeager recently posted a blog where he talks about, among other things, his time in Hollywood with Michael Johns, David Cook, and Luke Menard. He also referenced our website when talking about the day his roommate Michael Johns moved in:

I showed up in Hollywood week and checked into my hotel room. My roommate had already checked in and his stuff was already moved in. A few moments later the "Song-stealing-greasy-headed-douchebag" as he so lovingly became known to the four of us, (thanks to our wonderful friends at votefortheworst.com) lol!!!!! We instantly became really good friends that whole week.

Glad you liked the nickname, Jason. It's very fitting! Though this is now the second account we've heard of Michael Johns being kind of cool. Hmmmm... maybe he's only a slight douchebag, but still pretty greasy. Take a shower and we'll talk.

The winner of the most boring season of Idol ever injects a little much needed humor. He's funny, but we still hate this season.

Here is the cover to david Cook's first single about magic rainbows, Time of My Life. Good? Bad? 30 seconds in Photoshop? Does it matter when the song is so bad? Discuss.
