Hurting that bad for ratings?

Source: 'Idol' stripper to stay - Yahoo! News:

"A person close to the show, who is not authorized to comment publicly and asked not to be identified, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that there were no plans to remove Hernandez from the Fox singing competition — despite the semifinalist's past as a male stripper."

Okay I totally agree with the ladies on "The View" on this one....he should be disqualified the same way that Frenchie Davis was disqualified because she posed topless for the money---she didn't try to hide it, she was very upfront about it.....and they shitcanned her.

Now, those who know me, will realize that agreeing with these morality muddled ladies on The View is a really tough thing for me to do...but I have to admit that they are correct. It is a double standard...

These are the two statements that slay me:

The 24-year-old from Glendale, Ariz., once worked as an adult entertainer at Dick's Cabaret in Phoenix, appearing fully nude and performing lap dances
...
The source who confirmed that Hernandez will remain said Davis' situation was different because of the site's age-themed content.

What, the Cabaret didn't have "age-themed content"?? EXCUSE ME??? There is a big difference between posing for a photo and actually grinding your heinny on someone's lap!

This is the difference between Marilyn Monroe and Anna-Nicole!!

Marilyn posed nude but there has never been any evidence that it was any more than that.....Anna-Nicole used to hang on a pole (well, I don't know if she literally hung on one, but you get the idea).

I'm not judging....stripping has put a lot of sisters thru college or put food on their family's dinner table....but I'm just saying that they had already decided what was acceptable and what was not. And I think stripping is a lot worse then stripping and lap dancing.
PLUS-- this guy didn't stop working there until Sept 2007 when he tried out and got onto the show!

you have got to read the last two paragraphs of the original article---you get a real idea of this guys personality.
