As Always, FOX Knows What Viewers Want

By Chris Mottram
The Super Bowl will already feature the most relevant rock star in current popular American music when Tom Petty melts your face during halftime, so why not add the biggest T.V. personalities to the festivities?
FOX has announced that the “stars” of “American Idol” will join the pregame broadcast. Well, sans Simon Cowell, who is the only actual star of that show. What’s the purpose of having those annoying, no-talent hacks interrupt our football enjoyment? So that Paula Abdul can premiere her new music video, duh.
[quote="USA Today"]“Fox announces its Super Bowl pregame show will debut Idol judge Paula Abdul’s Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow music video, and she might also perform the song live.“ ... Says [Fox Sports Chairman David] Hill: ‘What I’m trying to do, obviously, is meld two television icons.’”[/quote]
No, Mr. Hill. What you’re trying to do, obviously, is make me dance. Like there’s no tomorrow. And trust me, nobody around me wants to see that. I’m pretty white.
