Bent Corner

Not only did Sanjaya not get the boot last night on American Idol, he wasn’t even in the bottom three. I’m not saying that Chris Sligh didn’t deserve to be let go after butchering a Police song. I don’t like people that foul up a Police song.

I dislike Sanjaya more.

If this craziness continues, this may anger God. He’s probably looking down and shaking his head at America’s stupidity. Not that he doesn’t do that a lot anyway. When he looks down and sees Sanjaya prancing around on stage with his hair in a pony-hawk forgetting words to songs, it’s got to irritate him. Especially when he knows that Sanjaya is remaining on the show only because people are voting for him to remain.

It’s not a good idea to make God mad.

Who knows what voting for Sanjaya will make God do. He very well may flood the Earth. He promised to never do that again, but that was before he heard Sanjaya sing. He may turn our rivers to blood. He may blanket the country in locusts. They are kind of like grasshoppers, but different. I think he also did something with frogs, but I don’t remember all the details.

Remember, we all used to have only one language until the good people of Babylon came up with the idea of building a really big tower. Unfortunately, they forgot to fill out the proper paperwork and get all of the permits from God. That made God mad. Next thing you know, we had different languages. Even that one in Africa where people cluck. If you ask me, they got the short end of the stick.

Compounding the problem is that I have to believe God was rooting for Chris Sligh. He was a student for several years at Christian fundamentalist Bob Jones University. Not only does America vote to keep Sanjaya, it causes the guy he was rooting for to get kicked off. If you think about it, it’s a lot worse then building a humongous tower without asking for permission first.

Don’t blame me if you wake up tomorrow morning to find that nobody understands you any longer because you speak cluck.

The joke has gone on long enough. American Idol is supposed to be a singing competition. At the bare minimum, the contestants should be able to sing.

Sanjaya Malakar is not a good singer. That’s precisely why he feels the need to resort to dressing up as a freak. That’s why he feels the need to do ridiculous things to his hair each and every week. Each week it’s worse then the last. He simply has to go home tonight. He has run out of shtick. There is nothing more he can do that will out Sanjaya last night’s appearance. He has backed himself to the cliff and there is no where else to go but down.

I honestly don’t know what more he could do to look even more freakish.

Last night’s actual singing was even worse. Not only did it sound rotten, he actually forgot the words. He is now at the point where he is mocking the very people that call in and vote for him every week. Can you imagine how real singers feel when they see this buffoon on TV? Singers that take their art seriously?

Singers that if they were going to be singing live on national TV in front of 30 million people might actually learn the words to the song they were singing. Sanjaya spent more time doing his ridiculous ponytail Mohawk then preparing to sing.

What an ass.

• The person that created the anti-Clinton “Vote Different” YouTube ad styled after the old Apple 1984 ad has been identified. He used to work for the company that does Internet work for the Obama campaign. He wrote a post over at at The Huffington Post explaining his motivation for the ad. Big shocker, he is an Obama supporter. Who would have thought that? He also explains that he made the ad without his employer’s knowledge. In fact he was fired for making the ad.
• Elizabeth Edwards once again has cancer. It’s incurable, but it’s treatable. I’m not sure I understand that, but I usually don’t understand medical things until I see it in an episode of House. Her husband John Edwards will continue his campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. You would think with his wife facing such a serious medical problem, he would want to focus on her instead of his pursuit for third place.
• Once again, that longed haired hippy Sanjaya Malakar escaped getting kicked off American Idol. When will he finally get voted off the show? Do I have to pick up the phone and actually vote for someone? Someone who’s name is not Sanjaya? His singing was so bad this week that he actually made a retarded girl cry. If this keeps up, I will begin to doubt the musical integrity of the show. I do not like Sanjaya Malakar.
• Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy has weighed in on the topic of gay marriage. He says that he and Jesus are against it. That’s ironic, because many gay people in committed relationships think the Colts suck.
• Apple launched their newest product today. It’s something called Apple TV. Oddly enough, they chose not to put a pretentious lowercase “i” in front of the name. Apple claims that it will enable you to put audio and video content from your iTunes library to your widescreen hi-def TV. It will allow you to watch movies, TV shows, podcasts, and porn pictures from your computer. It uses wireless to sync up to 6 computers to your TV. It costs $299. If you have a video iPod, you can simply buy a patch cable from Apple for less then $20 that allows you to basically do the same thing.
• The SCI FI Channel has increased its episode order for the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica to 22 up from the original 13. If you ever wanted to realize just how much the last ten plus years of Star Trek sucked, watch an episode of Battlestar Galactica.
• Sean Hannity first challenges the mayor of Salt Lake City to a debate on Iraq and impeachment, then chickens out. Hannity being the douche that he is then blamed the mayor as being the one to back out.
• Speaking of Sean Hannity, has anyone ever seen Hannity and Nathen Lane at the same time? Those two look so much alike that I’m starting to think they might be the same person. Look here to see a comparison.
• A study shows that 75% of all Blogspot blogs are spam blogs. That’s a shame because many of them are very good.
