Sanjaya Malakar bandwagon rolls on and even the venerable New York Times can’t help but cover it. It has a report on radio host Howard Stern, who claims he wants to destroy the show.
For the last two weeks, Mr. Stern has been promoting a Web site created by a 24-year-old “American Idol” fan that encourages people to support the worst performer on the popular talent show. Their candidate has been Sanjaya Malakar, the off-key, lyric-fumbling, elaborately coiffed teenager who is perhaps the most talked-about “Idol” contestant ever.
“We’re corrupting the entire thing,” Mr. Stern said on his Sirius Satellite Radio show Thursday, the day after Mr. Malakar secured a place in the top nine finalists. “All of us are routing ‘American Idol.’ It’s so great. The No. 1 show in television and it’s getting ruined.”[link]
heh. A site called votefortheworst.com is promoting Malakar because you guessed it, they think he is the worst idol contestant among the current lot. But the owners deny that they have anything against the show, they claim that their aim is just to have some fun.
I guess I should take a cable connection and watched the damned thing.
P.S Thankfully this post has been made while the Rosgolla king is away on a pleasure trip, otherwise, he would have rolled his eyes and feigned horror. Such are friends!

American Idol is a toilet and it’s everything that is wrong about modern entertainment. Howard Stern is smarter than you and a better person than all of you.
