American Idol Rejects' MySpace Pages

We had no intention of watching AI's season premiere, but because (1) nothing else was on, and (2) were we hoping for a drugged-out Paula Abdul, we surrendered. There were some lovely schadenfreude moments we'll be keeping an eye out for on YouTube. In the meantime, Eric at Death By Camera has dug up 11 of the idiots who sang for us last night.

Our favorite:

Name: Jason Anderson
Age: 16
MySpace Nickname: The Tekno Kid
You: “I’ve never been so insulted in my life.” And then you bawled your eyes out.
Why He Sucks: He sang his song while juggling Crystal Stix. I’m completely serious. What the fuck, dude. What’s even worse is that you work at a store called Crystal Stix, and you’re going to internationals for it? Is that even real?
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/theteknokid.

Stick to the sticks Tekno Kid. Singing's not in your future. (Though a wedgie is.) So many more of last night's Idolers' MySpace pages at deathbycamera.com. Check 'em out.

I love it. These people give new meaning to the words, "American Idol is full of f-cking idiots."

I saw the bit with Tekno Kid. This HAD to have been scripted. His expletive laden ranting and fake crying were so unreal, I can't even fathom how anyone could find that authentic. And then they pan over to the next freak-in-waitng, who has a horrified look on her face.

That kid is pyschotic. If I were his parents I would have brought him home and euthanized him in his sleep.

Does Jewel really have a vote?

Jewel has a vote, but her primary function is to distract everyone with her big ol' boobies and/or nose from how completely wasted Paula is.

aa bottom is right. His fake crying was abysmal. The only thing that saved it was the expression on the next girl heading in.

I think that unfortunatley, American Idol has taken the show to a new low. The insensitivity displayed by the judges is abhorant and cruel. Doesn't someone have to take responsibility for the way that people treat each other and shouldn't the entertainment industry teach the people (mostly young people) a better way to interact with others socially?
