Here are some words that rhyme with Sanjaya: pariah, papaya...
My answer to The Great Sanjaya Mystery (namely, "Why is he still on American Idol?") lies with Lisa Simpson. Lisa's favorite periodical is Non-Threatening Boys Magazine. And what could be less threatening to a naive, nervous prepubescent girl than a boy who will not show any interest in you at all? He is like a stepping stone for little girls: a boy who sort of looks like a girl and will never do anything gross like kiss them, but is sort of nice to look at. And he might let you braid his hair. I think this affinity for Non-Threatening Boys can last, to some extent, throughout one's life. Just look at the popularity of Legolas, the asexual pretty-boy elf. I am not immune to his charms, despite the fact that he is not remotely charming.
The solution: The grown-up ladies need to un-mute the TV and actually listen to this guy sing. You've made your point. When the Season 6 Idols go on tour, they will be forced to drag Sanjaya with them. Is that enough for you? And as for the little girls who don't know any better, why do all of these prepubescent girls have free access to the telephone, anyway? They're just going to ruin American Idol for the rest of us and run up the phone bill calling the Corey Hotline. I say we sit on Oliver all of them between 9 and 11 this evening. Shouldn't they be in bed, anyway?''
ETA during tonight's episode: Clearly this person is trying to get voted off by dressing like a chicken! Have mercy!
