David Archuleta Album Review Sparks Hilarity, Insanity

Ann Rivall, a writer for the University of Wisconsin-Madison's student newspaper the Badger Herald, wrote a hilarious review of David Archuleta's new Christmas album. It makes fun of the album, but even does give Gaspy a little bit of credit for some things (it did get 2 out of 5 stars). But since Idol fans can't stand to have anyone disagree with their lunacy, they soon jumped in to attack Ann for voicing her opinion with over 90 comments. Some of the highlights:

"Ann Rivall you poor pathetic thing. Either you are suffering PMS, hate Christmas music, seek attention, hate David Archuleta, suffer from poor self esteem/body image, or all of the above. You can sharpen your poison pen at this third rate hack of a college “newspaper”, publish your baseless negativity, but people like you will never be able to suppress positive, heartwarming, life affirming people like David Archuleta."

"You are truly an idiot! First of all, David made this Christmas album because so many fans were requesting that he do so... I feel sorry for you that you are so bitter to this wonderful young man. I had the chance to meet him and believe me, YOU DON”T GET IT!!!!"

"Why do you make up rules about what he can and can’t release? Remember Elvis? He sang whatever he wanted and it worked. Get over it."

"Wow, all I have to say is that this review is stinking. Yes, STINKING REVIEW! I’m proud to say that. So what if David made a Christmas album when its not the holidays yet? IS THAT A CRIME TO DO SO? Everyone knows that whoever hates David or his music is either retarded, idiotic or just plain mentally disordered."

"I see why this site is called badger-because you badged the *^&%$$ out of this album and David."

"ANN RIVALL, JUST NEED COTTON BUDS TO CLEAN HER EARS AND GET A MUSIC LESSON FROM BOB DYLAN FOR A START."

"You know what? I HATE YOU! EVERYONE HATES YOU! Did you have an open brain surgery? looks like it. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY THOSE WORDS BECAUSE YOU DON’T CONTAIN ANY OF THOSE1 WHY WON’T YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE TALKING NONESENSE YOU STUPID BRAT! WHY WON’T YOU JUST SHUT UP YOU STUPID RAT! ONLY A STUPID SPOILED PICKLED LOKO WOULD SAY THOSE! I MEAN THAT WAS REALLY HHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFUUUUULLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! many got hurt after what you said!those words were really HURTFUL! THOSE WERE MEANS WORDS! ALL STUPID DUMB WORDS! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO EVEN MENTION DAVID ARCHULETA’S NAME! YOU ARE skunk! A WORTHLESS PIECE OF FILTH! A WORTHLESS SATAN-FOLLOWER! if you have nothing good to say, why did you make a topic ABOUT DAVID?! YOUR NAME IOS RUINED AND I’LL CONTINUE TO RUIN IT! PUTA KA!"

Arts Editor Cailley Hammel then responded to the craziness with another very funny article, finishing up with "bring it on, fuckers." We're absolutely loving the University of Wisconsin Madison right now. Too funny.

There you have it. Everyone knows that whoever doesn't like Gaspy is mentally retarded

Allright. This partially takes the sting out of losing IdleTard. The Tards will just get stronger now.

The responses to the Arts Editor's letter are just as classic as those to the original article!

Can someone get an interview with this chick? I'd love to hear what actual students at the university say since it is obvious that the commentors are not students.

Dave, thanks for sharing

I was amused at one of the responses to her response

"They fly for 20 hours straight just to see David."

I know that military planes can be fueled while in flight--what commercial flight does that...or is the writer implying that the military flies fans in one part of the world to concerts in another.

'I saw some people pass out at the concert because they could not even handle that happiness."

That is just funny.

The comments section was hilarious. Between the paranoid rantings and the bad English, it was amusing. Did I see somebody was starting to write a PATEESHUN to be delivered to the university president, to get rid of those evil editors at the Badger Herald?

Dear Archietards: Please stop being hypocrites. Bunch of dumbfucks!

The comments are amazing. There is no questioning that.

The people writing them didn't even notice that she actually liked a couple of the tracks on the album, making all of them look stupider than the bad english and overdose of CAPS does.

"The one thing I gathered from this article is Ann Rivall hates music."

- - -

I also laugh every time someone comments saying something like "I wish u the best cuz you have no heart. I hpe u get one!!1!1"

- - -

"Please find a person who can listen to music and give an honest review that people can agree with."

Missing the point, perhaps?

This is great.

I personally am taking Journalism, and reviews are perfectly fine to say almost anything you want. If this was an article describing what the songs were, or what fans were saying, the limits would be closer. However, Ann can do whatever the hell she wants in a review.
