Vote for the Worst

I don't follow American Idol, but I have watched it on occasion when I was visiting people who do watch it. I saw the faux-hawk episode, and I was wondering why Sanjaya Malakar is still on the show...that is till I found the website http://www.votefortheworst.com/ which encourages everybody to vote for the biggest loser on the show to win the contest. I love it! Backed by Howard Stern, this site has finally made an obvious influence in the outcome of the show.

So spread the word, vote for Sanjaya to win! Watch out William Hung...you've got competition!

Cool Toy...for the kid in all of us!
