American Idol Eats Seattle

You know how when you're watching television during a presidential address and you're frantically flipping channels to get away from it, but his face just reappears on the screen every time with a new logo splashed in the corner? Seattlest had that experience while trying to watch the news this morning, except instead of running from the president we were trying to escape American Idol. Did you know that American Idol is having auditions in Seattle this week? Whatever, liar, you totally know.

Well, to counter Idol's total information awareness campaign, Seattlest is going to spread some misinformation right now: There's no need to get a wristband prior to auditions Tuesday morning. If you go down to Key Arena tomorrow morning at 8am, you will get a chance to sing in front of Simon and the gang and they will love you and save you from your heretofore miserable life in your mom's basement. Actually, if you go down there tonight at about 10pm, we hear that Paula herself will be greeting the campers in line and a little kissing up will definitely help your chances. Plus, you heard about that contestant she slept with? Bring the air mattress.

In other reality television news, The Amazing Race recently started out of Seattle.
