   I'd be all over the American Idol section like white on rice! With training regimen they put the AI contestants through, I wouldn't be surprised if David Archuletta could take down the real AI in an arm wrestling competition by the end of this season.

   I like the Bash Brother's picture. Probably the best part of the whole thing.

   Yes you got me too. I didn't understand it, but thought it was a crazy attempt to lure readers. I'm happy to find out we've been punk'd...

   I was seriously fooled.

   I said to myself:

   Your putting American Idol over College Football, Your Crazy!

   Nice joke, I didn't even know it was april 1st.

    I wasn't exactly "tricked", but I believe I uttered the phrase "What the hell is he talking about" after I read it. Still that's probably a reaction you were looking for, nice work.

    I had a whole article written voicing my indignation when my brain finally kicked in (about an hour later) and cottoned onto the date.

    Whoops!!! >_<

    You got me, too. I was already formulating an article in my head about who I expect to be in the top 5.

    Sports and game shows - the original reality TV.

    I thought that American Idol was some sort of bad metaphore for some sports thing like a sports competition. nice to see it was all a joke.

    Holy crap! I was worried that there actually might be a link to AI. Thankfully it proved to be just what I hoped for. First there was an article in Cougfan about the school changing the school mascot from the cougar to the artichoke in a move that would generate millions of sponsorship money. Then there might have been a possibility that BR was going commercial, too.

    This day sucks outloud!
