A Nation Shrieks For Poor, Defeated Adam Lambert

On this season of American Idol, Adam Lambert—the bouffanted gay one—was supposed to defeat Kris Allen—the cartoon-faced strummer. But he didn’t. And so many people were horrified, as evidenced by this fabulous listicle of YouTube reaction-freakouts. Above is our favourite, in which a young man gets snappy.

    @I Love New Jersey:Tim Horton's is why Canadians are fat. Even the coffee has fat.

    @jbwan: The youth of today would never get so worked up over something of so little import.

    @Nard: He'll be the one getting inseminated, not the other way around.

    at the end, did he say, "and on that note, who the fuck is farting?" if so...yucky. someone farting in a tiny bedroom with like 10 people jammed in. gross.

    @Madge Gristle: Agree, I think this group knew what was up and was trying to imitate the original.

    I'm sad that I'm analyzing these people.

    @Madge Gristle: and i just watched the rest of the videos on that site...

    There's still something better about the Archie upset reaction videos.

  • Madge Gristle

    @ArmCandy: See, I was ready to post how that one was better. It's one thing to queen out, but there's nothing more hysterical then 12 year old girls throwing a fit. I still think my favorite line, in regards to David Cook winning was "he doesn't even shave!"

  • El Matardillo

    @PunnyMcGee: That's the best explanation I've read so far!

  • lobstr

    A rare video snapshot of Jm J Bullock as a teen. ... with a slight tinge of a Long Island accent.. oh, and a touch gayer.

  • El Matardillo

    @I Love New Jersey: They'll simply flood the entire economy with Tire money.

  • jbwan

    This is exactly what my college election night 2000 viewing party looked like.

    I feel so alone. When I voted for Kris I immediately knew it was a mistake and wanted to go complaining to her. But now she says I can't. That includes all of you guys too. We can't go complaining to her, what are we going to do? Gulp.

  • I Love New Jersey

    @El Matardillo: I for one will welcome our Canadian overlords with open arms, provided they promise to open up some Tim Horton's.

  • uncivily obedient

    I had the same reaction when I heard Caroline Kennedy wasn't going to become NY's senator. Back the hell down.

    @Helman: Well, way more people were affected by this.

  • BitchyD

    That boy is like OMG my future husband lost!

    My favorite one is the silent, Orco-like one in the orange shirt that just sorta sits there with her mouth open... sorta trying to share in their astonishment, but - secretly - is just kinda glad they invited her. Because she's getting to old for dolls and the boys aren't calling and, good Lord, it's sad when mom drinks.

  • PunnyMcGee

    @El Matardillo:

    Maybe they already had a video of this and the whole "eating a baby seal heart" thing was some kind of aggressive pre-war posturing... like when North Korea parades its missiles.

  • ArmCandy

    Am I having déjà vu? This is just like those little girls who loved David Archie, plus five years and a one gay friend. One person goes crazy and says funny things, the rest make faces for the camera and try to egg on the crazy one.

  • Richard Lawson

    @Nard: I think that's exactly what he is. Too bad some daddy'll snap that little twink up the minute he sets foot in a gay bar, and he'll be lost to them forever.

  • El Matardillo

    This is the sort of thing that pushes our enemies into thinking America is a very soft target. I'm sure the Canadians are planning something right now.

  • Nard

    Do you think he's the "if I'm 39 and not married, but want a baby . . . " plan for all four of them?

  • BadKarma

    Like, I so feel their pain.

    What?! These bitches were basically reading my Twitter feed like a teleprompter.

  • Helman

    "This is worse than the swine flu." Classic.

  • kevipants!

    As a homosecksual of the first order, I have a question to ask. Please, do not take this the wrong way, but do you think that kid's mannerisms are real? I've always been intrigued by queens. Like, has he always acted like that, or was it something he learned watching "Will and Grace" and/or videos from Treasure Island.

  • kevipants!

    @I Love New Jersey: I wint Tim Hortons and SKY MILES. Best thing ever.

  • get the buttah

    I'm so glad I don't have children.
