American Idol Sucks!Yeah, American Idol is probably the biggest show on TV right now. What America and the rest of the world doesn’t know is that it sucks. Fortunately for you dear readers, the sucktitude of the so-called show American Idol, has not escaped the keen observartional skills of us here at The Man Blog.

Though we have been discouraged from publishing such a controversial article, we feel that it is our duty as the Authority in All Things Awesome to tell the world how not so Awesome American Idol really is.

Let’s get started:

  1. American Idol does not show you scenes from next week’s episode.

    2. Do they want to keep us in suspense by refusing to give us a glimpse of what will happen next? Or maybe, just maybe, they’re all making it up as they go along?! We believe it’s the latter because we have yet to meet a single writer of the show. I think it’s because they’re so ashamed of their laziness that they are hiding from the public eye.

I’ve been hearing so much about a new fancy restaurant in town that I decided to give it a try. If the dining experience turns out as good as they say it is, then maybe I’ll make it a habit to go out more often.

Since it’s a nice restaurant, I donned my classiest attire, jumped on my wheels and prepared myself for a night of culinary extravaganza.

Holy Crap! I almost went to jail! Well no, not really, but I got involved in something that landed somebody else in jail.

Let me backtrack a bit. In one of the forums I frequent, one guy told us about this prank he wanted to play on someone. I’m going to be vague about it mostly because I forgot the details. Also to protect whoever it is that needs protecting.

The town that the guy lived in suffered a severe snowtorm so they had to close off some roads, schools, etc. Apparently the local radio station has been announcing that a certain school was closed so the students shouldn’t bother going to school that day.

The guy’s co-worker, who I’m told is a sweet lady, didn’t have a radio signal in her area probably because of the storm, hence didn’t receive any notification about the school being closed. So she called the station because she wanted to know if she should bring her kid to school or not. The exchange went a little something like this:

“Hi, is [name of school] open today?”

“We’ve been announcing that all morning!”

“I live in [name of area] and I don’t have your signal here. So is it open?”

“Like I said, we’ve been announcing it all morning! God!”

*Click*

What an asshole right? So of course, when that guy posted this on the forum and his plan to get even with The Asshole (from here on in, I’ll be referring to him as such), everybody got behind it right away.

The plan was that on the appointed time, a dozen or so of us would call the radio station to ask if the school was open today. We were told that the asshole goes on everyday at the same time so we’re sure to get him. People from Australia, England, New Zealand, Germany have promised to join the prank. Since I had VOIP, it’ll cost me practically nothing to make the call to the States. Plus, I can’t stand assholes. I was in.

A few hours ago, at the appointed time, we started clogging up the station’s phone lines. The asshole caught on pretty quick that when I finally got through, he was in a very foul mood:
