As America settles down in front of its TV set for the first post-Sanjaya installment of American Idol, WOW employees are kneeling down before our lovingly assembled shrine to the eliminated one. As we bestow our bittersweet gifts of Paula Abdul hip-flasks and dancing Sanjaya hula dolls before our hairy idol, our gazes fall upon an ever-burning flame, and we are given some small comfort to know that somewhere, across the stretches of this cruel city, Sanjaya’s flame still burns bright as he drops by another late-night chat show.
