You know, I really tried to give a rat's ass about who won "American Idol," but apparently no one's in the market for a giant mouse butt.

As I've been hiding under a rock the entire television season ...

someone won American Idol?

Clay Aiken. Duh.

The dude with the mixmaster hair?

I suppose so. The answer to any American Idol question is automatically "Clay Aiken". Just like the answer to "who won Survivor?" is "Big Gay Richard".

That's what they need. To start crossing over *cough*"reality" shows. Force some of these 16 year old prima donnas on Idol to go do some of the physical challenges from Survivor. Winner gets to pick what songs their rivals have to sing!

Or just take a "reality show reunion" and throw them all on a renewed version of American Gladiators!

With real lions? I could get behind "American Gladiator" with real lions. Especially if someone's throwing Clay Aiken to them.

There we go. Take the winners of these reality shows and put them in a petting zoo with cuddly animals.

Of course, by "winners" I mean "carefully selected media-friendly candidates". And by "reality show" I mean "poorly-booked attempt at convincing the audience that it's not rigged, in a sad effort to draw ratings".

And of course, by "petting zoo" I mean "abbatoir that would make Caligula have inadequacy issues" and by "cuddly animals" I mean "starved crack-addict lions on Viagra who will violate these wonderful "winners" for our amusement live on NBC from 8-10pm."

It's not rigged, it's carefully edited!

For vast quantities of time I manage to completely repress and ignore the existence of American Idol, so that my reaction to this sort of thing is usually not, "Rats ass!" but instead, "...what? ...huh? Oh, yeah, that thing."

It's a happy place to be.

*giggles* wrong season. wrong "winner" too.. then again, Clay-boy is from my hometown and so.. ugh.. the awfulness.. it abounds... *dies*

Who has the two singles, the videos, the album, and the fangirls? Not the "winner", that's for sure.

I've never watched American Idol; in fact, I had no idea that Clay Aiken had anything to do with the show until just now. The only reality show I've ever seen was a couple episodes of the first Survivor, and yet somehow I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
