Is he really an Idol??? Scary...:<

[shais_mom]

Part of this is this is a cross post from another board I am on.



Did anyone else hear or see the news about Clay Aiken, that American Idol kid, who said in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview that he hates cats and has actually run over them? PETA had some demonstration where they were encouraging people to neuter their pets and said that it (neutering) hasn't hurt Clay Aiken.

I cannot believe that Clay Aiken, or anyone else, would say that they hate cats and admit that they've actually killed them and think that this is something to be proud of. This guy makes me sick. I will never support him or buy anything he puts out: CDs, T-Shirts - nothing. What an ass.

I did a little research on the PETA site and came up with this link.

I certainly have to agree with not buying his paraphinelia now, not that I would anyway. That makes me sick.

PETA chose to target Clay Aiken because he recently told Rolling Stone, "I think cats are Satan. There’s nothing worse to me than a house cat. When I was about 16, I had a kitten and ran over it."

I never thought he had any talent anyways... never really were a fan of his.

Wow. I knew there was something about him that I didn't like!

[Crikit]

That's just wrong, so glad I never got his c.d.

I think people may be reading more into this than was meant.

When I was about sixteen, I had a kitten and ran over it. Seeing that cat die, I actually think that its spirit has haunted me. I wasn't afraid of cats before. But now they scare me to death.

Personally I interpret this to mean he was traumatized by running over his cat. No where did he say that he hated the kitten and so chose to run it over for fun because that's what cats deserve. Don't put words into people's mouths.

Oh and I'm not a Clay Aiken fan. I'm not even an "Idol" fan I think it's a dumb show.

I do know that I don't trust PETA though.

Shelteez did you read this part?

I think cats are Satan. There’s nothing worse to me than a house cat.

Actually I didn't assume that he ran over the kitten on purpose. I mean accidents do happen, I understand. But what I did take intentionally were the direct quotes not just from Peta that "He doesn't like house cats, water or instant grits. "

Sure did. It was right before the part where he explained why. Obviously he's not the most eloquently spoken person, but I still don't see a need to condemn him.

I still don't see what's so bad about that. He doesn't like house cats... so what. So he won't own one. Big deal. I don't want a cat whenever I move out on my own.

Then that is fine if you don't want a cat bully for you, but you I don't imagine aren't broadcasting it being a 'famous' person. I am sure there are some wacked out people out there that would hurt a cat to get 'noticed by Clay'.

So famous people aren't allowed to dislike anything??

Saying cats are Satan is immature, stupid, and just plain pathetic. Famous people can dislike things, but they should have more common sense than to utter such brainless things.
