When contacted Tuesday, Fox had declined to comment. The voting rules for “American Idol” forbid “power voting” using “technical enhancements.” Representatives of Fox and AT&T declined to comment on whether similar texting services were offered at other viewing parties this year or in previous seasons.
From LA Times
American Idol's own sponser AT & T, involved in violating there own rules.
Teaching stadiums filled with people how to power text 10 votes at once in Arkansas.
It is now known that the state of Arkansas (poulation 2.8 mil) voted
38 million times for American Idol contestants.
That's 38% of the total vote.
Rigged?
It is sickening to watch how AI parades Kris and Adam around together.
They are the ones fueling this controversy. Their ratings are higher
and they love the extra press. Simon Cowell and AT & T would do anything
for extra press and ratings.
Just like the 9/11 conspiracy, the intellects are shunned and humiliated
while the propaganda machine keeps spinning out lies to maintain the sheeps50% majority over all minority challengers. aka: people with brains.
This whole AI crap just goes to prove that our country is filled with
a bunch of sheep following weenies, that can't debate their way out of
any argument, but would punch you in the mouth for disagreeing or conspire
to get revenge. This is why 2.8 mil Arkansas residents have nothing better to do than cast 38 mil votes on a Tuesday night.
Thank God we have finally broke that majority in our last elction for President.
Sure you right wingers can cheat and vote 10000 times a person for AI contestants, but you can't vote twice for president.
My message for all you right wingers out there is this:
President Obama will be in office for 8 years and the Hillary Clinton will be president for 8 more years. The House and the Senate will have a Democrat
Majority for the next 16 years min. So enjoy your AI victory for now.
