infoMania 5.21.09: American Idol

http://current.com/items/90087978_infomani...

This week on infoMania we share our favorite moments from this week's season finales and show you that if you have an irresponsible amount of children, someone will give you your own TV show. Sarah Haskins looks at laundry commercials and ends up feeling dirty. Sergio Cilli counts down the most entertaining new music videos. And in the wake of The Lonely Island boys success with 'I'm On A Boat,' Brett Erlich goes in search of the next viral video star on a boat.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at http://infomaniafacebook.com.

Great show, I love how on VVFS the lesson was B-1, Brett did you run out of numbers? :)

I refuse to read/watch/hear about Jon and Kate's marital troubles. They were generous enough to let us into their homes so we could get to know them and their kids and this is how we repay them? I feel like pulling a Chris Crocker and shouting to the world: "Leave Jon and Kate ALONE!!!" What did they ever do to anyone? Hell I grew up with 10 siblings and my parents fought exactly like Jon and Kate, we were just lucky enough to not have a reality show about us.

Okay I'm done ranting...

Barbara said "What the hell" perfectly. The Adam Lambert scream collage proved he was born in the wrong decade by a few. And TV needs some major genius to spark it into a living thing again. Good thing there's Infomania...
