A Christian news site is making headlines by claiming Ellen DeGeneres is responsible for the ratings erosion of Fox’s “American Idol.”
Christian Newswire director Gary McCullough says the sexual orientation of the newest “Idol” judge was the reason “Idol” ratings were down about 9% this season.
Funny — viewers never seemed to have a problem with Ryan Seacrest.
I don’t think it’s her sexual orientation. These people are myopic. I think a lot of people just can’t stand her. I have to change the channel if I see her. She is a complete phony and makes me ill.
Again, how is she any different from Ryan Seacrest then? I’ve never watched American Idol so I don’t give a shit. I’m just humored by the lengths Christian fundamentalists will go to blame everything on the gays.
Oh, you probably are right. She probably is no different, just a little more ubiquitous. I have never seen Seacrest so I have no idea if he is as phony and grating as Degeneres. Degeneres made a great deal of her sexuality on her old sitcom. Is Seacrest gay? See, I didn’t know that and really don’t care. If he is gay, it’s possible a lot of other people don’t know it, either. I just find Ellen Degeneres as antithetical to my mental well-being as Bonnie Franklin on the old “One Day at a Time” sitcom.
We’ve found common ground on Bonnie Franklin. No wonder Mackenzie Phillips is so screwed up.
