Re: Negreanu has to lighten up about American Idol.
I think you guys are taking NEGREANU too seriously. It's like you read the first part and not his qualification, where he admits he's exaggerating to make a point:

Obviously making a comparison between American Idol and terrorism seems absurd, and it is, but it helps illustrate my point. If enough hateful people thought this prank was a good idea and ended up backing the winner, it would destroy the show.

He's just drawing a parallel which is -- BY DESIGN -- outrageous... so that you pay attention to Daniel's point, which is merely that a mass of people can disrupt a fair process due to vengeful motives.
I disagree with him, but he's allowed to draw that "absurd" parallel without being labeled a nutjob.
