Even if hate the very idea of American Idol and you scoff at “reality TV,” remember this:
The American Idol winner will break into your own personal reality like a Phil-K-Dickian paranoid delusional manifestation. You might try to escape, but you’ll keep hearing about them for years. Their music will assault you when you least expect it. You’ll see them on TV. Magazine covers bearing their visage will taunt you in the supermarket checkout line. Unless you go to live on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, you’ll keep hearing them and hearing about them ad nauseam.
So do yourself a favor and vote. If you have to live with the fact that the American Idol is going to contaminate popular culture, it might as well be the one you voted for.
And most importantly,
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Vote for Taylor Hicks!!!!
