american idol kicked off pacitti

Just last night Joanna Pacitti was chosen to advance to the final 36 on American Idol Season 8, but early this morning producers kicked her off the show citing her relationship with some close to the show and her previous record contract (more on that here).  EW says…

Pacitti has been booted from the competition and replaced by 26-year-old Felicia Barton. "It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition," stated a Fox press release sent early Thursday morning announcing the show's full roster of semifinalists.

Is this really a big deal?  The point of the show is to discover unknowns right?  Did anyone know who the hell Joanna Pacitti was three weeks ago?  But more to the point this is bullshit because she’s hot, and sexy girls should be given unlimited chances at things.   Is this a fuckin spelling bee or a contest to find a star.  Even if it was a spelling bee it should be rigged so she won.  Give the jittery Indian kid "floccinaucinihilipilification".  Can you use it in a sentence?  Yes, "the word you have to spell is 'floccinaucinihilipilification' ".  And Joanna gets "to".  As in, "the unicorn said, welcome to Cookie Mountain".  We'll also accept "too", "2" or holding your fingers up in sort of a peace sign.
