American Idol/American Sham

What a joke. "Out of 24 million votes, only 1,300 separate you two."
What a great job of PR. A fat talented guy "beats out" (wink, wink) an extremely talented slim guy. Did you all catch this crap? How many phonelines would they have to have in order to log in 24 million votes in three hours? Look out Dubya, Al Sharpton just might take Florida with enough "hanging chads". But seriously folks, if you believe this outcome, you need to watch the next round.

Well, he was good.

Don't be taken in by all these reality talent shows, though... it's my understanding that the show's producers still reserve the right to select the winner regardless of the audience vote.
