Dear pugfug90:

I truly am hilarious; I crack myself up!!! :-)

Seriously, dude...I'm having a blast on this site. It's true; I don't care about this reality television show enough to watch it. YUK!

I think it's out-of-this-world hilarious, however, that there are so many ignorant morons who live and die because of this reality television show. To care THIS MUCH for something that is arguably rigged/definitely stupid/ridiculously premised? Girlfriend, c'mon...there are AI fanatics who have threatened Dave's life because of this site! WTF!!!???!!! Do you have any power to rein in your peeps, Bro?

I found this site after reading an article in the New York Times...it's been a sweet little pastime, skewering folks like...er...you...no offense, Sugar Pie.

But -- seriously -- I'm not really skewering you, correct? You may be in bed with these VFTW haters, but it's sort of like a bunk-bed scenario. You seem smarter than your kissin' cousins, dude...so, while we have our go-rounds, my vitriol is primarily for the TRULY insane and inane.

You know...like your hunky Sailor Moon (or,was it yardsailor?) boyfriend...I bet that he really loved me spankin' his meaty ass!

Well, baby, I gotta' run...I'm sure that I'll "speak" to you soon!

Always,

M-Dawg

Methinks I sparked a reaction in Nightwing... :)

BTW...are you an adjunct professor of comic book studies? Just curious ;)

And thank you but I don't plan to respond blow-by-blow as it were to your mildly homoerotically charged reparte...suffice it to say that your witty analysis of my post was slightly less than accurate or interesting.

Anyway..just had to get that off my chest (whew, I feel better). And yes, I am mixing IM style punctation with my posting...(see the three dots again). <gasp> ;)

And I didn't do a complete spellcheck of your post, but a quick scan did uncover a misspelling of mongoloid...gosh, don't see that one much anymore. Cute :)

Now back to the show...or not...who cares.

Post away...might be back in a day or two. Peace.

What? You're still here bitching nonsense? Listen, the site's purpose is:"to support voting for the entertaining contestants who the producers would hate to see win on American Idol."

On purpose and for the sake of "ratings" they mock people who cannot sing on national TV. Damn, they even ridiculed someone who seemed obviously mentally challenged this season. Don't tell me that on the tens of thousands of people who auditioned, they could not feel their auditions before the judges with people with relatively good talents.

Then, they choose 24 contestants that will be judged by the TV listeners. Again, they make it so that some of the contestants have weaker (not necessarily bad) singing qualities then others. I am quite sure that on tens of thousands of applicants, they could have chosen 24 people with great singing qualities, who are original and could have something interesting to offer. This is all done because they want to create controversies and pad their ratings.

That being said, we can clearly see that American Idol is not a "true" singing competition. It's a ratings motivated show who makes its millions with advertisements. Then, if they can have a winner that can sell a few millions CDs in the next few years, it's more gravy for them, but not necessarily the main objective.

Now, they want to play that game and have the viewers involved in their debauchery and "faked" singing competition? Well, we decided to play it back to them. We see through them and we encourage people to stick it up to TPTB. We encourage others to vote for the "worst that is presented to us". The worst doesn't mean that they cannot sing, it only means it is the worst in the group of contestants before us. And the worst in American Idol's case is the contestant that TPTB don't want to see winning the competition. That's all. They like to ridicule people like "bullies" in a schoolyard? We want to ridicule them in return and influence who should be the star. And with all the publicity that VFTW and Howard Stern created around Sanjaya Malakar, we have succeeded. Sanjaya became bigger than American Idol. We just want to do the same for Phil now. So get off your high horses 80Amps and wise up.

Dear yardsailor:

Yethinks? EGAD! Say it ain't so! :-)

It's funny...some posts I ignore and some I feel compelled to respond...

Dunno' why. Just your lucky day, I guess...

Oh, yeah -- SNAP! I just remembered...I responded to your post which referenced me. We're star-crossed lovers, Lover...

I did, btw (hey! I can do that fancy-shmancy IM style punctuation as well!), publicly admit (on this site, no less!) that I'm a notoriously poor speller (I know...welcome to the "spell-check" generation). Not as bad as your peeps, mind you -- I mean, there's poor and then there's fucking , ass-backwards pathetic and shameful...I mean, Sailor Moon, have you read some of the horrible bile that spews forth from your peeps' heads? GET THEE TO A FIRST GRADE READER, I shout from the hills!

Baby, how did you know that I love comic books? Are you stalking me? If ONLY I had the opportunity to work them into my curriculum! Sigh...ain't gonna' happen, man. Totally sucks - I'm a fan of both Marvel AND DC.

"Blow-by-blow" -- now WHO'S homoerotic? :-) You dirty, dirty girl! :-)

Hey...please pass on the following to your compadres:

HOMOEROTIC - GOOD!

HOMOPHOBIC - HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY EVIL AND BAD!

So, there's a possibility that you won't be back for a couple of days? Why? "Blow-by-blow" and "get off on your chest" has definitely got my juices flowing... :-)

Seriously, this seems to amuse you as much as it amuses me...and you're the proverbial breath of fresh air on this site. You give as good as you get...I mean...well, heck, you know what I mean! :-)

Until Then,

BARK!

M-Dawg

P.S. -- Do you SERIOUSLY watch this show with your kids? I mean, my man, this reality television show is much more fiction than reality...yeah, my opinion...but do y'all talk about the possibility that this thing may be rigged to the hilt? I guess if they were toddlers or in grade school, holding on to certain myths (like Santa, The Easter Bunny, and that Simon is an expert as to singing) is ok...but, dude, if they're old enough to ask questions, what do you say?

Take a good look at the kiddies who post on this site -- baby, they are fucking lunatics! Someone needs to either get them out in front of the television (particularly when AI is on) and/or onto psychiatric meds ASAP.

I think they just use footage from a different camera.

Even though the producers obviously put some clowns before the three famous judges for comical purposes, I doubt they intentionally try to fill spots within the top 24 with contestants they feel to be crappy enough to make favored contestants look good. To say that they do is total speculation.

“…….we can clearly see that American Idol is not a "true" singing competition.”

That’s like saying the NFL playoffs aren’t really football games because the team(s) that didn’t make it were ripped off by officials making too many bad calls on the field during the regular season. Actually, a better analogy would be to say that the entire NFL season isn’t really about football because not all good players get drafted and/or chosen to play.

There’s only two reason you could say that American Idol is not a singing competition AT ALL. For one, the completion is entirely fixed by the producers. If this is the case, then what makes you think voting for anybody, much less voting for the worst is going to make a difference? Besides, trying to promote a contestant for reasons as frivolous as those publicized by this site might only encourage the producers to fix the show if they don’t already. Secondly, the voters tend not to vote for the contestant they think sings the best, but instead vote for the contestant they just happen to like the most for reasons other than singing talent. I’m sure there’s a lot of that going on besides the voting instigated by this site, but in the end, you can’t blame the producers for that. By virtue of the way it’s produced, the show does seem to aggravate that tendency, but the choice is still up to the voter. All the voter has to do is say something like, “OK, McPhee appears to be a snobby bitch but she really does have the best voice” and then vote accordingly. So in short, if the show isn’t really a singing competition, it’s because the public voted it to be that way. That’s all this site is probably doing.

Then if this is a "singing" competition, why allowing people, who obviously cannot sing, to get in front of the judges and on TV? Comical purpose as you say? You have a twisted sense of what is "comical" when you laugh at someone mentally challenged. It is not for "comical" purpose, it is for ratings alone, to satisfy bullies and inconsiderate persons like yourself. Your rambling makes no sense at all.

I'm still wondering why you persist in trying to convince us to your ideas. You won't convince any worsters here. Us on the other hand are opening the eyes of more and more people everyday.

VFTW contributed to make Sanjaya Malakar a phenomenon. That's quite an achievement. So whatever you have to say, we tasted victory and will keep going our way.

But pigface90 darling, you can't pee... you're way too dry...

Drink some water, there you go. Feel better? Good. Now be a good pudface and go to bed. That's it. Such a nice baby.

Don't forget to pick up your brain and clean it up before leaving the house tomorrow.

I never said I thought the clowns were entertaining. In fact, I don’t even start watching the show until the final 24. THAT’s when the singing competition is supposed to start. Apparently though, enough people do find the clowns entertaining or else the producers wouldn’t bother with them. I’ll name you one such person: Dave Della Terza. Go back and read his original articles here. He explicitly states that he would rather keep watching the bad singers perform because they are who he feels to be the most entertaining. (like he did on Dave Letterman). That’s his reason for “voting for the worst”. So if you feel the need to call somebody “twisted” for the reasons you just described, then you might want to start with your fearless leader.

The question of this show as a singing competition is not an either/or proposition. In other words, it’s not a question of weather the show IS or IS NOT such a competition. It’s a question of the EXTENT to which the show is about singers competing for a title. There are many shades of gray between back and white. What this site tends to do is make the show even LESS of a singing competition than it already is. So in light of that, it seems totally asinine that an advocate of the site would actually bitch about the extent to which the show is not a singing competition.
