Seriously, check out the linebacker with the camera. Rrrraaaooooww. Oh, and there’s Chris Daughtry, who recently played a carnival or something in Seattle. Daughtry is the most successful American Idol contestant after Kelly, Clay and that crazy bitch who vandalizes trucks. Oh America, what’s wrong, sweetie? What are you doing? This? Really?

Amid the smell of hay and fried fair food, Daughtry stepped off the television screen and rocked Puyallup with those goose-bumpy ballads that have made him “American Idol’s” most famous fourth-place contestant. Wearing a snug T-shirt, ripped jeans and a thick leather band on one wrist, and hanging on the microphone, he fronted a four-piece rock band that shares his last name.

My chickens are done. I could cut glass with my nipples, I’m so turned on. This is terrible, terrible music. What is it with the Nickelback revolution, in which they disguise soft rock with louder guitar and excessive jewelry? Gross.
