So Howard Stern wants to "destroy" American Idol. (see this article for the details... http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Entertainment/2007/03/31/howard_stern_mocks_american_idol/) Besides the fact that it is clearly a publicity stunt, this bothers me on three levels. First, I can't stand Howard Stern. He is a hemorrhoid (I probably hate him as much as Nancy Grace, but at least I don't have to SEE him). I especially hate that he is getting so much press over this.
Second, doesn't he have anything better to do? There are no strippers or porn stars on AI, so why is he so interested? Wouldn't it be nice if he channeled all this energy into something positive for a change? Not that I think he is capable of that, of course. He seems to thrive when being an antagonist.
Third, it seems like he is accomplishing his goal, which makes me totally freak out. Howard Stern has this kind of power? All he does is pimp out strippers on the radio! Why do so many people (men) listen to him? It's frightening people, frightening.
And the absolute worst part of all is that this little campaign in ruining my grid (yes, I am gambling on AI...it's the only reason I started watching the show this season)! So here's hoping that Sanjaya gets kicked off tonight. The only thing worse than him being there (and me losing money because he is still there) is the fact that he seems to be buying into all the press and is getting quite cocky. It's annoying.

Oh, I miss Howard. I used to listen to him every morning, until he went on satellite radio. And he totally does have power. I know several people who got Sirius, just because of him.
Combined with the fact that I don't really care for American Idol, I think this is brilliant!
Well Omar, it's finally happened. You have exposed a flaw. A Howard Stern lover...I never would have figured you for one of those.
I heard a Stern show like, ten years ago. I found him completely uninteresting and of no use to me, and never listened again. I keep thinking people will wise up and get tired of him; I know I did.
He reminds me of Madonna, only even less talented (and she's a low measuring mark to say the least). Both of them should have dropped off the charts a looong time ago.
I wish I had a pithier comment to leave you, but sadly, I'm still recovering from the effects of the tragic accident I suffered last week while making my hair into a pony hawk.
fyi... This article says Stern's "influence" won't matter.
I wouldn't call me a Stern "lover," but I would probably still listen to his show if it was on free radio. His is probably the only radio show I've ever listened to more than once. I certainly don't like everything he does, and I very much understand why people don't like him.
I agree with what is mentioned in that article RaJ linked though. It is highly unlikely that there will be enough people who both hate AI AND are willing to take the time to place votes to make a difference in the outcome. Still, I think it would be funny if the plan did work, and Sanjaya won.
Great post Rhonda. HS is a jerk, I can't stand him :P
As for Sanjawhy, dude looks like a lady, and it ain't pretty.
We shall see what happens. Sanjaya wasn't even in the bottom three this week. How is that possible if not for HS and votefortheworst.com ?!
Oh, and did anyone catch Sanjaya's comment to Simon? "Welcome to the Universe of Sanjaya." That kid needs a kick in the ass.
