I Love It: "Vote For The Worst" Site Encourages People to Vote For Worst American Idol Contestant

Completely screwing up the voting, apparently, and perhaps actually threatening the show's... um, integrity? Is that the right word, or am I crackhead who got hooked on the wroonnnggg stuff?

I haven't watched the show this season, but Serial Lurker writes:

Not that I watch "American Idol" or anything but I've been flabbergasted to see that little dweeb Kevin Covais avoid being in the bottom three last week.

That is until I found out why:

There's a site called "Votefortheworst.com" that seems to be driving the American Idol producers crazy because the VFTW readers keep rallying behind the worst singer.

American Idol claims that VFTW has "no influence" over the votes yet the name of the site has been filtered from the American Idol message boards and it's been mentioned by MSNBC, USA Today and E! Entertainment. And of course how else could you explain Chicken Little's survival thus far?

And I've heard there's been some odd results, with singers generally regarded as among the best winding up in the bottom three.

No matter how popular American Idol is, there are more people who hate it, I'm guessing, and will gladly sabotage the show this way if they have a chance to. Which, of course, they do.
