Did I miss something? Why is a reality television show dominating the news?

    It was reported that one hundred million people voted on the winner... that could have something to do with it.

    Did one hundred million people vote or one hundred million votes? I've heard people say they vote more than once, don't know myself I don't buy into that crap.

    Why do you spend your time on this forum? Different people like different things. And Idol is watched by a lot of people.

    He already owned those KISS boots before the show and he admitted as a child he dressed up like characters from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.


    Nuff said.

    Um... I once dressed up like Eddie from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Does that make me gay?

    You have very low standards for gayness.

    Yup.

    From the Ed Sullivan Show to Little House on the Prairie, all television has ever been is a Liberal Consipracy.

    Maybe not gay, but you had a moment.

    That would be incorrect. There were 100,000,000 votes. You are allowed to vote multiple times using telephone calls and text messages. I don't recall what the "limit" to the number of votes a single phone line could have (and I don't care).

    But, there were most certainly NOT 100,000,000 voters.

    Could this theory explain Obama and McCain??

    ACORN explains Landru. I'm still trying to figure out how McCain wound up with the nod.

    Ahhh, a homophobe speaks. What does it matter if he is gay or not? He can sing. And there have been lots of gay people in the entertainment industry forever. You may want to look into "manly" stars like Rock Hudson, Raymond Burr, and James Dean.....all gay.

    If you live in SoCal and are a homo-hater, you're stupid. I didn't say anything negative about being gay, I just said he was gay. I don't care how someone gets their rocks off as long as they are not trying to ram their agenda down our throats (like they have been trying to do in CA for many years now, to no avail). If not wanting my kids to have to learn about someone in school just because he was a homo and nothing more make me a homophobe, sign me up.

    I got kicked in my "agenda" just the other day. Hurt like hell. I even cried.

    So why even mention that he might be gay? That mere fact
    shows your problems with gay people. He might be straight, why not say that? He might be androgynous, why not say that?
