America's Got Talent, another crapfest produced by the same company that makes American Idol (Fremantle), was exposed tonight in a major way. VFTW reader Steve tells us:

"One of the acts in the semi-finals is Arcadian Broad, a dancer around 12 years old I believe.  His act tonight was a dance act based around High School Musical, he was dressed in a Wildcat's Jersey dancing around.  Piers Morgan said he wasn't good enough to get into the finals.  Arcadian responded saying "I didn't want to do a High School Musical scene, the producers gave me this hand and..." and he was promptly cut off by Piers.  When Nick Cannon came back out to give his numbers, he went off saying "Well, of course the acts get the decision of the acts they preform..." Seems like we got a situation on our hands here!"

Just more proof that any show Fremantle produces isn't on the up and up. It's not a talent competition, it's reality TV, folks.

Edited To Add: Rickey.org has the video.

Edited to Add More: Arcadian's claim was edited out of the replay of the show last night. Looks like the producers aren't too happy. Because they're idiots.
