  Okay, apparently some people without lives have accused the show "American Idol" of being fixed. They are saying that the producers and Simon Cowell himself maneuvered the contest so that Rueben Stoddard would come out the winner. Here's a quick note -- It is and they did! Come on people! It's a TV show. Does anybody out there still think that what's going on inside that little illuminated box is real? Do you really think Simon and his partners are gonna just sit back and let the American public randomly choose the direction their show takes?
Nevermind the fact that we as a group have been spoon-fed invented pop stars for the last decade and couldn't recognize real talent if it came right into our living room and sang "Lucky Star". The producers of "American Idol" have to worry about ratings and demographics so they can get picked up for the next season. So, of course the fix was in. Just watch the pretty pictures in the box and stop trying to make it real life.
