Though the "American Idol" season finale was soooo last week, this money making machine is still in the headlines. And you know that good ol' cliche: "There's no such thing as bad publicity" is in full swing now.
AT&T is accused of being a "part" of some Kris Allen fan parties in Arkansas. You remeber Kris Allen (not for long)-- the dude that just won Idol, even though just about everyone thought Adam Lambert was gonna be crowned king? If you're a regular viewer of Idol, you know that AT&T is the exclusive text provider for viewers to vote. How convenient that those attendees of the Kris Allen parties were shown how to bulk text-- sending 10 text messages at a time with one push of a button. Neato1
HHHHmmmmm... the spin doctors for AT&T are playing dumb.
AT&T
Uh, we were just, uh, invited. And, uh, we just showed some of, like, the cool stuff our phones and stuff do, and so, like we showed them this cool thing about bulk texting which isn't, like, a secret.
REPORTER
Did you share the same knowledge with Adam Lambert fans?
AT&T
Who's Adam Lambert?
===================
I doubt the bulk voters swayed the vote (we'll thank the conservative South for that, and thumpers of God's word), but something is just a tad shady here, dontcha think?
If I were the folks associated with Idol, someone would be getting a spanking over this. Conspiracy theories have surrounded the show since day one. Let's not add fuel to that fire, which could end up burning the Idol suits.
