that's funny.
I don't watch American Idol either - in fact don't watch TV at all - but William Hung's American Idol appearance clip was sent to me several times by coworkers at the office or friends so I have watched it, and it is funny as hell.

He tried out and was totally shot down as a contestant. Never even made it on to the show beyond the try outs. But people loved him so much that he's become an online celebrity. The huge online movement to give him another shot at stardom has gone so far that now mainstream media outlets are picking up on it and I heard he just signed a record deal this week!
