Has there ever been such ridiculousness as the fan wars that were started by American Idol? I think not!
What American Idol did for me was bring back the music sung by REAL singers. Mind you, I hate the games they play for ratings but the fact is that AI is indirectly responsible for putting the REAL lip synch artists, cookie cutters, booty bouncers, and crotch grabbing yappers on alert. They'd better have a little more depth than just their gimmicks because real entertainers are back in style and they're handing out pink slips.
It's the AI game playing that is largely responsible for the fan wars and we fell for it. We played into their hands by trying to "one up" the other fanbases.. but whose pockets were lined? Not the artists!
Instead of ALL of us being Freaking Happy that real singers are gradually taking back the air waves, some of us have to take pot shots at other Idol Alumni. Yeah! Some fans were cocky in their bragging about being "a force to reckon with" but it didn't warrant roaches and loons going on the attack and keeping it up for 3 years. It didn't warrant the character assassination of young Mr. Clay Aiken. It didn't warrant the nasty calls and emails to DJs, Radio Program Managers and Star Jones by those people pretending to be over the top Clay Fans who are really Ruben and Kelly fans.
Well, guess what? All those tricks earned you both bragging rights. You can now lay claim to being the most disgusting Cooties and Roaches in the Universe. Your efforts to convince termites, leeches and other parasites that the Clay Nation is a melting pot of racists and bigots may have worked for a while but I hope you don't mind if my blog keeps the truth out there.
Here is the REAL TRUTH for any onlookers. Clay's fanbase is diverse in race, religion (including those who aren't religious), age, gender, preference, philosophy, parenting, musical tastes, etc. Oh...and clothing styles...... duh! Clay and his fanbase are about inclusion no matter what the cooties and roaches try to make you think. Some people are famous for borrowing our screen names and posting racist remarks as well as homophobic remarks and sometimes they will post as "anonymous" on certain blogs. WE know who they are but neutral onlookers do not. One such person believed and accused of us being racist (among other things) until he compared IPs and found that it was, indeed, one of his early supporters.
Believe what you want; there are 2 sides to everything. When you make a decision as to who to believe I hope it's based on educating yourself. Look at the record over the last few months. People were hell bent on destroying one innocent young man while the fans of that young man kept to themselves for a long time and then decided to come out fighting. Their mode of fighting was not the weaponry the foe would have liked us to use; we fought by exposing the truth which you'll find in my earlier blogs.
Stay tuned for a great find by Polly Graf which I will put up late this evening.

Great blog!! Can't wait to see what Polly has come up with!
Sometimes it's a long painful, drawn out process, but in the end the truth always wins.
I am a Black woman, and I love me some Clay Aiken. And yes AI and the fan wars is something to behold
I bet my mind would boggle to
find out what is really behind this blatant character assination of Clay, but now we know it has gone on far too long and it is not a game. Keep the facts coming.
I personally think pickle and cootie got C&D's and either they don't want to admit it or they are told not to. Either way that's my opinion.
Thank you so much Anon at 10:24 and can someone go get this little white girl some Harry Belafonte? He's the second most gorgeous man I have ever seen. Nobody matches the likes of Clay Aiken to me but I would not be at all disappointed with a Clay/Harry sammich.
Has everyone seen the new AI5 picture of Clay and his bodyguard, Aaron floating around. Now that Aaron is one fine man too.
OMG...this white girl had the biggest crush on Harry Belafonte. I told my parents I was going to marry him when I grew up.
Too funny, Truth! My mom and I used to fight over him when he was on TV. One night he was doing his calypso thang with his shirt unbuttoned and my mother said, "There's no way I'm going to bed with your father tonight after looking at that."
Bringing this over from the comment section of the previous blog. It came in at the last minute which verifies Anon's speculation about a C&D

The Cootie blog admits to getting a cease and desist letter and are now trying to find out who this law firm is representing. Hee! hee! I wonder if there was more than one C&D letter. Hmmmmmm!

We recieved a C&D threat from an obscure law firm in California this morning along with an acknowledgment of the reply we sent yesterday. The threat, made in sophisticated legaleze to our corporation AND Blogger, is unmistakable in it's intent but it is unclear to us who, precisely, is being represented...This matter has esclalated decidedly but the bluster of this mornings correspondence and lack of specificity makes it clear to us it is more harrassment than legal substance and we've informed Blogger of our intent to reopen our Blog to commentary and debate. For now, the Blog will be reopened for comment while we await a reply informing us WHO wants us to SHUT UP! At that point we will inform you who our adversary is and dive into our agenda of exposing Clay Aiken and the Claymates for the queer Wombats they are.

"Now exactly what IS a Wimbletoncootie? Is it BAD to be a Wimbletoncootie? You say this is a term Clay used for roadies? Like for example, he'd angrily sputter out, "You roadies are all such... such... WIMBLETONCOOTIES!!!!" ROTFLMAO! So damn weird. Maybe someone should ask him what the hell it means?"
WimbletonCootie said...
The original WimbletonCootie was a roadie elected to confront Clay about the road crews grievances with Clays rules and treatment of them. The Wimbleton part was a snyonym for Simpleton and the Cootie part is self explanatory. LAter on Clay just decide they were ALL WimbletonCooties.

However the term was used it was obviously used to demean the professionals that work with him. Who the heck does Clay think he is?"
How about the BOSS! He signs the checks, he has the power to fire, he's responsible for safety and security, he makes the rules! No drinking, drugs or partying on the job! Is that clear enough? What you do on your day off is your business, but don't bring it to the job!
Two important things are learned from this: just how deeply held these beliefs are to Clay, enough to make them RULES for the crew, and how serious he is to enforce them. Early on we heard rumors about different problems occurring within the crew or the band. Clay won't put up with "crap." And if you don't like it, tough! Again, he's the BOSS!
Boy you write the best blogs! I check this blog out the first thing every morning hoping there is something new here! I went and read the cootie blog and I am sorry I did I hope that gets shut down soon. Someone over there is wishing that we all get cancer I would imagine that these are young people posting there with those types of comments. Can't wait for next installment!
Keep up the good work!

Oh, I forgot this one -
"The Blogs name, Wimbletoncootie, is temporary. The term Wimbletoncootie was coined by Clay Aiken himself as an insulting reference to a spokesman elected by his tour's road crew to confront Aiken about his intolerance for roadie traditions.
Traditions? What traditions? Would that consist of unacceptable behavior? Just wonderin'.
When my JNT05 show was over I was making my way to the elevator and ran into the roadies coming in to break down the stage. What a happy smiling cheerful bunch they all seemed to be. So much so that I had to smile at them as I passed them in the hallway.
Polly Graf, you bring up an excellent point. What could those traditions be? And boy, that Clay sure curses like a sailor, doesn't he? Such language...to call someone a Wimble'ton' Cootie when he could have used SOB, MOFO and 100 other names.
One of Clay's roadies was the person who got us passes to meet him when he was doing the IT in Iowa...he was really nice and only had nice things to say about Clay.
I don't believe that about where he got the name, Wimbleton. Had he ever used that name before? I don't think he used it until recently. The Wimbleton Tennis Tournament was just on television. I think that is where he got the idea to use that name.
'Oh Crap', you amaze me, as does Polly.
Great blog as usual... chock full of information.
What would we do without you?
{{{ hugs }}}
P.s.
When will you book
'How to blog for dummies' be out. I'm in desparate need of one.
LOL
OOPs, forgot the question mark for the above question.
Here ya go....
?
I just want to chime in and agree about what wonderful blogs you put up. Your writing talent and wit never cease to amaze me. I come here for my daily dose of truth and knowledge.
Thank you all for the compliments but the one that needs to write "Blogging for Dummies" is Truth Rules because she had to walk me thru everything I've learned so far plus she's done some of the tech work...and poor Polly Graf is still running trying to escape leaning it (just kidding). But that's ok because her writing technique of breaking down what folks said and what should have been said is a real talent. I don't have that kind of insight and patience. I just call 'em a sombeech and move on.
OK, tell me again what I leaning on. I'd like to know so I can avoid it in the future! lol
Luv ya, OhC!
Heehee... I was hoping nobody would catch that spelling of "LEARNING"
Polly Graf and I may have some late breaking news a little later but I need a photo genius who can blow up pics and do a side by side. Please tell me we have someone here who can check something out!
Are you looking for someone who is proficient in photoshopping or just re-sizing pictures in general?
Never mind Polly, I re-read your post. I'm going to see if I can locate someone for you.
Great blog Oh Crap (funniest screen name ever BTW). I am finding it humorous that in the absence of JP, Clay haters have found a new hero in Groucho. So sad that they are desperate for a leader that they are willing to follow a proven wacko. They imagine us cowering in the corner over what he will do next. ROFLMAO Little do they know that we've been dealing with his delusions and his multiple personalities for three years. Excuse me while I YAWN!
I hadn't heard anything about a restraining order against Groucho.
I have no idea where SohoYoho got his/her info. Hope it wasn't here that he/she was going to post.
I wondering if the roadies called Clay anything derogatory behind his back. No I am sure the roadies were saintly!!
They are getting their information from Groucho's blog.
Sohoyoyo was talking about posting on Groucho's blog. They are all loving the idea of someone else taking on Clay and his fans. Superherofan is saying he's going to send him more first-hand gossip about Clay. The rest want to stay out of it. For now.
It's laughable watching them jump on the Groucho bandwagon. They have no idea of his history.
Hey,
I found out how to directly report a blog:
http://help.blogger.com/?page=help
Choose : Report a (TOS Terms of Service) violation
and in Tell us about it, you can put the name of the blog. I report tin hat blog and groucho's crap.
You can choose to let this go up on your blog or not, your choice.
According to the TOS of blog.com :
http://www.blogger.com/terms.g
several violations have occurred by both blogs.
Hope this helps!
When will YohoSoyo get that, that
didn't happen either?
Did you get some help with the pictures?
Yeah I bet! And where is Superherofan getting this first hand knowledge? He's full of it too.
What's interesting but not at all funny is the gay haters of CA have no idea how anti-gay Groucho is and how much untrue crap he spews.
What is the saying, "When you lie down with a dog, you get fleas".
I think they are about to be infested.
WC said he heard that himself. He's so full of it. No way on earth would he get backstage at any Clay or Kelly concert.
No late breaking news it appears. The men in the pics had similarities and differences enough that they are two different men. Sorry.
Knowing Clay if he said it at all, it was probably meant as a snarky remark or joke, nothing inappropriate.
I have read in several places that Kelly banned Groucho from the KCE and put out a restraining order against him. He's never denied it.
He posted somewhere and said himself, that he was going to be a father again. The news had changed his life and he was moving on to better things, etc. etc. Since his wife is in her fifties, it was assumed he had a girlfriend...stud that he is!
Ya know, I wish I had the name of that "obscure Law Firm"; I might be able to identify them for the Cootie.
As one of JP's final posts, he informed everyone including his supporters that Groucho aka Rick Campbell had been identified as the person who was responsible for the racist hate on his blog. Now the JP supporters are hanging on every word Groucho says. They are lapping it up. I guess their hatred of Clay overrides the truth about Groucho that JP, someone they supposedly respect told them.
