It's a Conspiracy! A C-O-N...spiracy!
I've donned full body armor and done some lurking at the official RubenStuddard.com message boards. Just in case y'all don't follow the Idol fandom, Ruben was the (some say dubious) winner of the second season of American Idol, but has since been outsold by the runner up, Clay Aiken, at a ratio of about 3:1. Ruben's also recently tried to launch a concert tour, which has been an embarrassing failure thus far. This on the heels of a successful Clay/Kelly Clarkson tour. I knew if I wandered over to his official MB, I'd immediately find bitter, bitter splooge. And they didn't disappoint!

Fun facts about the fan culture over there: They refer to Clay Aiken as **** because they don't want to see his name in print, they think Kim Locke, who placed third place in the competition and now lives with Clay, is a white-guy-worshipping sell out, and they generally just seem to exist in a huge river of bitter bile toward anyone remotely connected to the American Idol machine. It's a wank extravaganza! To wit:

Ryan Seacrest is an asshat h8er because he mentioned Clay and Kelly on his show and had the unmitigated GALL to not talk about Ruben!!!11!twelve!!

The Ruben board should be for RUBEN LOVE ONLY! If you do not LOVE Ruben, and if you can't show him respect then don't post on here on his fan board. It is that simple!!! posted by someone who has named themselves after a line of cheap haircare products!

Ryan Seacrest is only h8ing because he's mad that everyone thinks he's ****'s sorry homosexual gay luvah! posted unironically by someone named gaye carey!

ST3P 0FF!1!! Ryan is a sweetheart! After all, he supports Michael Jackson. Doesn't that say something? also posted unironically!

Check out the whole thread, all 40 wankadelic posts or so and see:

- The two or three "Can't we all just get along" types get accused of being sekrit jellis Ruben-hating ****mates
- Clay's fan base be characterized as consisting BOTH entirely of "old fat 50something cows" *and* "nothing but 5th-8th graders"
- Multiple jurisimprudence laws in effect, often within the same post
- Every other post typed all in caps and/or with complete disregard for punctuation and/or in l33tsp34k

Then, if you're really brave, you'll make it over to the rest of the board. *shudder*
