Snub Sanjaya, Make Him Cry-a!

posted by on May 2 at 10:44 AM

Federal Way, Washington, like Bethlehem, was blessed in all the world to have produced a very special and magical little someone, for all the world to adore. Unlike Bethlehem, however, (hang in there) Federal Way is full of a bunch of really jealous and rude bitches that can’t boast the good sense to celebrate the homecoming of their most celebrated son. Yes, Sanjaya has returned home, and apparently home really doesn’t give a crap.

City officials in Federal Way, Wash. - a suburb of Seattle - won’t give the “American Idol” phenomenon his own day or a parade - or even a cardboard key to the city.

Good lord! Not even a fucking cardboard key? To a fucking SUBURB?

“Federal Way has more important things to deal with, and unless a council member tried to push through a proclamation, then that ‘Idol’ wannabe should not expect a similar honor,” town manager Neal Beets told a local TV station just before Malakar, 17, was voted off “Idol.”

Well. As long as Federal Way has “more important things” to worry about than giving poor Sanjaya a cardboard key to their suburb. Why, they have to…umm…uhhh…they’ve got…errr…uhhh….they have to…ummm…push some proclamations through apparently, and…umm…where is Federal Way again?

Bunch of jealous bitches. That’s what they all are.

You think Federal Way, the 12 year old girl of those imaginary cities to the South, would make him their fucking mayor.

Pretty sure it has to do with either the fact that his whole appearance on the show was a joke. So why would they want some clown representing them? Or the fact that his pothead mom keeps getting busted (most recently at a club in LA holding a hooka pipe and a lighter). He's not exactly the best representative for any town.

Well, considering he was busted at school for swinging what I assume was the herb his mom was growing at home, or maybe at her second grow house where they arrested her, I can see why they might not be interested in giving him a parade...

From what I've seen, Federal Way is a joke. They should cancel out and celebrate!

But I still think he's ugly. Maybe in 20 years he'd be hot. Mmmmm..Anderson Cooper

@6,

Definitely. He must be the love child of Bert and Elmo. Poor Ernie.

Sanjaya, if you somehow read this, let me tell you that I'm all about giving you the key to my heart.


AND to the Capitol Hill/Eastlake interchange area. We've got a posse in there, we'll make you a cardboard key.

CARDBOARD key? They give out cardboard keys to their city... er... suburb?

"Here, Sangy, we drew you this picture of a key... in pencil... on a scrap piece of binder paper we found in the trash... enjoy. We hereby proclaim this day SANJAYA DAY and with that decloration hereby open this Wal-Mart."

That town manager sounds like a real tool. This is the best thing to happen in Federal Way in a long time, the least they could do is a freakin' proclamation, which takes about 10 seconds to do.

However, I never heard Sanjaya sing, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

It's supposed to be a slap in the face in the form of a key.

Idiots.

Like him or not, Sanjaya is the best publicity Federal Way has gotten in decades. Their entire city council (or whoever runs that burb) should be kissing his feet.

Or his ponyhawk.

This wouldn't have happened if he were from Maple Valley.

That's because Maple Valley is pretty f-ing photogenic.... unless you live there. Then it's actually like a hell on earth.
