Your own "American Idol" photo shoot
If, like myself, you feel that you were meant for glory on the "American Idol" stage but are being held back -- persecuted even -- just because you can't carry a note or keep time with even the simplest beat, "American Idol" now has an alternative for you. It's a way to find "Idol" glory, or a fantasy facsimile thereof, that you can share with your friends, who will gape in awe when they see your Christmas card next year emblazoned with mock proof of your "Idol" grandeur.
Starting this week, an "American Idol" photo booth will be touring the malls of our fair land, allowing fans to have a full photo shoot in front of the legendary "Idol" backdrop, posing as and in the footsteps of the giants.
The photos can be uploaded to the official "American Idol" site, where presumably they can give you genuine "Idol" cred when they adorn the profile under which you leave your "Happy Birthday, David Archuleta" postings on the fan boards.
The list of the "Idol" booth's stops is after the jump. It's hard to imagine in the future anyone passing themselves off as an "Idol" fan without an official "Idol"-produced snapshot. See you at the food court!
