He’s obviously not serious, which makes this the reality-show equivalent of a drunk moron running onto the field at a baseball game. He wanted to be on TV, they needed a William Hung character to liven up the dismal early rounds, and so supply met demand and all was well.
The irony is, they’ve already found this year’s William Hung character.

I watched this, I know, Crap TV and all, but this guy wasn’t just creepy, he was Ron Paul creepy.

Cool, first post!
Torch on January 17, 2008 at 3:03 PM
So would I, buddy. So would I.
MadisonConservative on January 17, 2008 at 3:05 PM
That guy and few others from the Philly auditions are actually known local improve comedians. Either the production staff got hoodwinked during the vetting process on the stadium floor, or they knowingly let this guy in just to create a memorable moment for the cameras.

If she were a dog I would Michael Vick her?
Sorry…

OH Sweet! American Idol cracks me Up!!!.
W00t!!!
Chakra Hammer on January 17, 2008 at 3:09 PM
I had caught the end of American Idol and saw “this year’s William Hung” singing. Like Simon, I have a feeling that’s going to be a hit record somehow. Probably sell more than most of the American Idol winners too.

He had that Tom Cruise look in his eyes.
12thman on January 17, 2008 at 3:15 PM
I liked the guy who thought he sounded like Paul Robeson. I hope he didn’t off himself when he saw the show and how much the judges were laughing at him. Let my people gooo!
Bad Penny on January 17, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Dude should have been dragged out of the studio as soon as they heard the first two lines of his “song” and saw the crazed look on his face.
Unless they were all in on a joke gone bad, why take a chance with some unknown lunatic?
fogw on January 17, 2008 at 3:23 PM
That British guy is a bit of a wet blanket anyway. I’m betting if the guy were a lot better looking, Paula would have shut Mr Killjoy up to let the guy finish. Besides, how much real danger was she in with all the crew and security around anyway? (Did you notice she thanked him? Was Mr Limey jealous?)
My point is, you invite people to push the limits of good taste, and then you get what you asked for. Give me a break!

Here’s the link to the article about the stalker guy being an improv comedian:
So chances are his song and accompanying creepiness were just an elaborate prank.

Speaking of being able to own an Uzi…

You people watch this crap? Why not watch real quality programming, like Red Eye?
doubleplusundead on January 17, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Good one.
fogw on January 17, 2008 at 3:30 PM
What about the guy who kept crossing his arms and sounded like he was coughing phlegm up? He got escorted out as well. Strange brew there.
Torch on January 17, 2008 at 3:32 PM
They may need to get big bouncers…
d1carter on January 17, 2008 at 3:34 PM
I saw that and laughed my a*$ off. He was totally creepy.
I only watch the auditions when it comes to AI. I’m a little disappointed, however, at the total civility that the judges have shown. I want to see them be mean and nasty! ;)
ConBlog_NH on January 17, 2008 at 3:35 PM
HELLLLLL no. This is gar-BAGGGE. And the so called ‘winners’ are being dropped by their record labels anyway. Whatever happened to real bands playing in the garage, then playing the small clubs and working their way up and being discovered? That’s when we had REAL music. We had real bands, like Van Halen. Then we went phoney ‘boy bands’ put together by record executives. Now we have THIS crap. No thanks, I’ll listen to my CD collection and live in the past. My friends don’t call me “Totally 80’s Tony” for nuthin’.
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 3:36 PM
That Alison Cohen lady as well?

Sorry, but the thread it would’ve gone with is no longer on the front page.
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 3:50 PM
James Brown lives!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 17, 2008 at 3:52 PM
Hey Tony — where’s the link to that?
Lan Astaslem on January 17, 2008 at 3:55 PM
I still prefer Old Man River.
stonemeister on January 17, 2008 at 3:57 PM
The producers know exactly who is getting on tv. The teacher in the room next to me tried out in Memphis last year and she gave the lowdown on how the system works. You have to get through a few rounds of “judges” off camera first before you even get in to see the big three. It’s pretty much all a set-up from the beginning. With the sheer volume of people that show up for the auditions, it would takes DAYS for the big three to listen to them all.
The preliminary “judges” or producers if you will, pick some of the worst people, just for the tv time. Most of them (if not all of them) know they don’t have a chance in hell of making it on the show–they just want to be seen on tv.
robblefarian on January 17, 2008 at 3:58 PM
“Caulk her…” Heh.
Jaibones on January 17, 2008 at 3:58 PM
I she were a Democrat, I would Barak her …
redrock on January 17, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Thanks for reminding me why I never watch this show and any type of reality TV ever. I think I lost 10 IQ points just watching that clip alone. Gotta preserve what little I have left.
Planet Boulder on January 17, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Lan, here’s the rest of the story…
I got it off the Daily Telegragh. Looks like the Euros are finally starting to grow a pair.
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Creep magnet attracts creep.
That’s the first time I have seen that show, and it’s about what I thought it would be.

Again, sorry for the O/T. But there was nowhere else to put it.
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Damn, didn’t work. Anyway, it’s from The D.T.
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 4:23 PM
I liked the sweaty guy singing that Bon Jovi song.
The Ugly American on January 17, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Weird sweaty guy…
The Ugly American on January 17, 2008 at 4:37 PM
I hate to say it, but Paula Abdul is a very attractive woman.
Kensington on January 17, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Whoever picked Paula to be a judge is a genius.
Bad Penny on January 17, 2008 at 5:16 PM
I have NO problem at all saying it.
Paula is very attractive!
shooter on January 17, 2008 at 5:24 PM
oh, and this entire creepy guy thing was a set up.
shooter on January 17, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Paula’s a cutie, but the elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.
This was creepy, but Weird Al went him one better.
sulla on January 17, 2008 at 6:06 PM
I was under the impression that Paula Abdul trawls the contestants for ‘quickies’. I’d be afraid to go home and find a bunny on the stove.
Strange woman.
LimeyGeek on January 17, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Because I’m not awake at 2 in the morning, and I depend on AP to be my DVR?
Seriously, I don’t watch “American Idol” either.
steveegg on January 17, 2008 at 6:43 PM
They should have taken him away,way before they did.
Especially before they would let him approach her and keep on singing that “sick” song.
The Producer’s should have been looking out for Paula’s safety. It also should not have been aired.
Conservaboomer on January 17, 2008 at 6:53 PM
American idol?
I can’t stand this show…my wife loves it though, so unfortunately I’m going to have to hear this crap in the background for the next 6 months.
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 7:49 PM
It isn’t stalking if you’re REALLY in love.
ronsfi on January 17, 2008 at 8:22 PM
Ha ha ha, he’s from New Hope, PA. and probably feeds the ducks at the Bucks Country Playhouse, during the winter when no one is around…., ha ha ha
Kini on January 17, 2008 at 8:52 PM
The first 6 weeks are the only ones to watch. Some of these people are setups but there are people out there that think they can sing and will tell you to your face that you just don’t know talent when you hear it. Believe me, I have a niece that does just that and can’t carry a tune in a 5 gallon bucket.
