Surviving the Workday

This one’s a little weird: it seems that there were rumors going around that Christian groups in Australia were stacking the votes for the more overtly religious contestants on Australian Idol. So what did the producers do?

They banned all discussion of religion during interviews.

Although no wrongdoing has been proved (most Idol contestants have huge communities supporting them, whether it be a country town or a church community) television chiefs are concerned about the effect of the stories on the “street cred” of the show.

Meanwhile,  here in America, our Christian groups debate whether or not someone is Christian enough for their vote.

I think I need some ice cream.
