The firestorm surrounding Paula Abdul’s faux pas during the judging of the songs last week was the maraschino cherry atop a growing scoop of evidence, commentary, and accusations that the show is rigged or that, at the very least, there’s some serious funny business going on behind it.

So instead of judging Idol for being Idol, why not simply ridicule it instead?

The folks over at the clever site Vote for the Worst are doing just that.

Since their humble beginnings in 2004, VFTW has supported the clear and admirable mission of endorsing the most entertaining performers on American Idol—who, funnily enough, are also often the worst singers. Sanjaya Malakar was VFTW’s darling during last season of Idol and arguably the show’s most entertaining contestant EVER. I am secretly in love with Sanjaya and viewed his awesome performances every week as the height of comedy, so I jumped on the VFTW bandwagon then.

And man, am I glad I did. They have hilarious blogs, general Idol news and commentary with a healthy dose of snark, and killer insight into what’s really making the gears tick in the brains of the Idol producers.

They change their picks from time to time, too, so if you hate Jason Castro, for example (their current poster boy), just wait around for a few weeks until he gets the boot and they sing the praises of somebody else.

Awesome, awesome, and more awesome? Yeah, I think so.

I finally got it…

I spent half the night in shock, kicking back a box of my favorite wine with my “results show buddy” (such a queen, but fun to watch with). The truth was revealed and the whole campus fell into a deep silence. It was the deep kind of silence that only comes with the discovery of a great cosmic truth.

The Sanjob is still here. People are fasting! Global warming is spreading! Plagues, famine, disease – I have read of these signs before.

I kindly asked my friend to leave and I sat in pure contemplation…

What evil hellspawn would bring this upon us? Republicans? Democrats? Terrorists? Borat? That damn crying girl from the performance?

The answer? It’s a consipiracy. Sanjaya is being kept on the show to get a rise out of all of us. They want his girliness to haunt the guys and his terrible do to disgust the girls.

Touche, American Idol. Touche.
