AMERICAN IDOL TAPING...
One word...lame...no, make that two words...fucking lame...
We stood in line for almost three hours...not even guarenteed that we would get in to the taping even though we were given tickets...it seems the "tickets" were not really tickets...simply an invitation that you were allowed to come down and stand in the stupid fucking line outside the CBS studios (side note: we did see Bob Barker drive by in his Mercedes)...
Anyway, I was donned in a black T-shirt that said: "Simon Said Pack Your Suitcase" (in reference to the comment that he made to Scott Savol the night before after his abyssmal performance)...Beth's T-shirt read: "Simon is Always Right"
In addition to the T-shirts, we also had signs that said: "Find Clint" and "Where is Clint?"
At some point after the first few hours or so, the line moved closer to the studio entrance. It was at this point that they informed us all of the actual tickets had been given out. Now, they were waiting to see how many of the VIPs were not going to show up and how many of us they needed to be "seat-fillers."
It was at this point that we were ushered through metal detectors and security (even though we were repeatedly warned that this did not mean that we were definitely getting inside the studio). It was at this point that our signs were confiscated. Now, someone needs to explain to me how either of those messages could be offensive in any way...apparently, the signs were deemed "inappropriate" and the signs were put in the trash can. Nice. I am already all set with this.
Finally, we are allowed entry into the studio (which is incredibly small...so much smaller than you would ever guess from the TV show)...we are given seats in the middle near the back. These are then taken from us when more VIPs show up. Fuck. We are moved all the way to the far right-hand side of the studio. It is for this reason and my possibly offensive shirt that we are not shown on TV.
The whole thing was so lame. And staged. There is no way that Constantine actually got the lowest number of votes. I don't care that he was voted off. I disliked him anyway. But come on: Scott Savol had more votes???
I am almost in agreement with Tippy Yunnan's idea that we should start a massive campaign to get everyone to vote for Scott Savol just to spite the show. Because can you imagine that white trash wanna-be ganster pig-faced man as your next American Idol? How ridiculous.
Mostly, I'm just pissed that they confiscated the signs...They are definitely not supportive of the Clint story...
Motherfuckers...
