Only Minor Exploitation For Idol
 
 


One has to admire American Idol's restraint.

While they're perfectly happy to trot out an underwear-clad David Archuleta out for a Guitar Hero commercial, they draw the line at putting the 17-year old in briefs.

Because that would be too exploitative.

Well, they put Cook in briefs for his version of the ad.

Was this film in ten minutes?

He was not shown how to Guitar Hero properly.

It's still cute though.

Isn't David A. mormon? It could simply be because of the garments. Then again, he could have been a little more self-conscious, being 17 and all.

So those aren't boxers but magical mormon underwear?

I can't wait until David A. comes out to his Stage Dad in a few years. I thought only the Midwest still watches this racist, homophobic Reality Crackshow: American Midol. Your front door does have a handle…

I can't imagine why, but our previous commenter opted to leave out the second half of his name, which should read:

"Seitan-on-a-stick-up-his-indignant-self-righteous-ass."

David Cook is H-O-T in his Risky Biz spot, BTW.

Mormons who are only 17 do NOT wear "magical underwear." You have to go through the temple, make certain covenants and receive special blessings in order to wear the "garments." That doesn't happen until you are 19, have received the Melchizedek priesthood and are usually going on a mission.

Despite not yet wearing garments, he and his parents probably had him wear the boxers because Mormons do prefer to wear more modest clothing even before they go to the temple for the first time.

But even with David C. in briefs you couldn't even see a bulge.
