Yesterday Finland’s sensational scandalmongering tabloid Ilta-Sanomat featured a typical overblown headline “Contestant attacks Idol judge” (Finnish). In the article they write that bodyguards had to drag out the furious contestant, Eric Chapman, who had pulled out a small object from his pocket and tried to attack Simon.
Judge for yourself. Having been rejected, Eric clearly says to Simon “Here, I have to do something, I have to fix your hair…” and then pulls out a tub of hair gel. The bodyguards then escort him out of the room, but barely touch him.
Why do professional journalists write such crap and get away with it? I’m sick and tired of these bullshit yellow press headlines. Somebody please shoot them. (Bad bad bad! Let’s not make jokes about shooting journalists.)
Helllo.
I agree with you on this one. Seriously, journalists are pricks. They’re freakin annoying bastards!!
I really understand the actions of the security crew. Contestant getting something out of his pocket, a container… Let’s stop him, but gently. And so they did. Nobody got hurt.
But naturally these two Finnish..umm…paper things with crap on them(?) have to make it a big deal.
Slow news day, let’s make something up!
