I know, I was suprised as you are to come to that conclusion. It took me until this morning to realize that all three winners of the American series all have fantastic breasts. But for a change I am not going to focus on any part of the anatomy. No, for this bout of sexism, I'd like to spin to an AIM profile I read. The girl who had this in her profile is a staunch femenist, and there's nothing too wrong with it especially because she said she likes to swallow. See not everyone is ALL bad. Anywho, she states:
American Idol can go to hell. Last year they kicked off a girl who had posed nude telling her that she was not, "The image American Idol wanted to portray." Now this year they have a man who was convicted of assult against his then girlfriend and father of his son. Producers say, "He never hid it from us so it won't affect his chances on the show." How fucked up is that? Welcome to America. Nudity is something to be ashamed of but beating up on a woman is A-OKAY.
Now I was going to look into this a little closer, mostly to find the nudies pics, but then I realized two things: 1) I have no journalistic integrity to uphold and 2) I don't care that much about American Idol to really give a damn.
My friend points out the flaw in her own argument in her rambling: "He never hid it from us." Clearly the producers aren't down about nudie chicks or wife beaters but let's face it, the chick probably with held the information, where as the chick-trasher said "I beat women for fun and profit, and I went to jail for a little while for doing it."
Let's face it, celebrity is based on scandal. In order to spin it for the positive angle of the show, the producers are going to have to know about it before hand. That doesn't make hitting women right, that doesn't make being photographed nude wrong, it just means you need to be able to admit to your mistakes, indiscression, or questionable behaviors when the chips are down.
Consequently, I do think hitting women is a bad, very bad thing, unless they hit you first in the genital region, or decide to think for themselves.
The dude who was convicted of hitting his woman, Scott, ought to be kicked off the show and thrown in jail for another, altogether different crime: ROBBERY. That guy put on the single worst performance in weeks on American Idol last Tuesday, and somehow they sent the chick home. That girl got robbed. Give Scotty the boot.

Dude, I don't really think that Clay Aiken's breasts are all that nice. Now if Ruben had one, you might have a valid argument there!

Oh wait, Ruben did win? I'm sorry, I haven't seen him since but everywhere I look & everywhere I go I see & hear that little homo Clay!

that's because ruben is on the subway diet and he's waiting to slim down before he makes his jared-like return to the spotlight

What do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing, she's already been told twice.

JDM, were it not for your love of TK Carter, I'd call you a pussy.
