A woman on Myspace, simply known as “J,” has vowed to starve herself until American Idol contestant, Sanjaya Malakar is voted off. Considered by many to be the worst singer in the history of the top 10, Malakar has remained on the show due to Howard Stern listeners and Vote For the Worst. “J” says:
Aside from the initial debacle with contestant Antonella Barba, season 6 was starting to look like it may be actually very good. The big voices of Melinda Doolittle and LaKisha Jones, the innovative styling’s of Blake Lewis, and the smooth R&B of Phil Stacey are just a few of the hopefuls with immense potential. However, there is one hinge in this broad spectrum of talent this year … Sanjaya Malakar…So until the day that Sanjya is no longer American Idol, I will be going on a hunger strike. This means I will refuse to eat anything until American Idol voters wise up, and stop voting Sanjya through each week.”
Wow, who says young people today don’t stand for anything? This chick is just like Gandhi. But instead of protesting British rule in India, she’s protesting a talent show. Through her great personal sacrifice, millions won’t care less if she lives or dies. What an indomitable spirit!
Sanjaya and family:

Top 10 Worst Places in Britain Revealed
-
10. Stoke-on-Trent
It may be the birthplace of Slash (and, um, Robbie Williams) but that still didn't prevent Stoke-on-Trent from making it to number 10 on Crap Towns Returns' (s)hit llist. We hear it's got a nice ceramics collection in the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, though, so that's something.
-
9. High Wycombe
High Wycombe was voted as the ninth worst town in Britain thanks to its abundance of chain stores and shady suburbs.
-
8. Nuneaton
Home of 19th century author George Eliot, Nuneaton's bleak shopping district seals its place at number 8 on the list.
-
7. Coventry
Crap Towns Returns isn't very strict when it comes to its criteria for voting, as proven by Coventry CITY's placing on this list. It's still an awful place to live, though.
-
6. Gibraltar
This British Overseas Territory is located closer to Spain than it is to Sunderland, but that still didn't prevent it from making it onto the list. It may not be the prettiest of holiday destinations, but at least it frequently gets good weather, which is more than you can say for anywhere else in Britain.
-
5. York
Somehow York's rich heritage and overall loveliness didn't charm the voters of the list. Maybe it's too pretty for it's own good?
-
4. Southampton
Despite being the "cruise capital of Europe" Southampton was unpopular enough with voters to feature just outside of the top 3 in Crap Towns' list.
-
3. Chipping Norton
This Cotswold market town looks nice and all, but it has the dubious honour of housing the likes of David Cameron, Jeremy Clarkson and Rebekah Brooks. Yeah, we think we'll give it a miss, thanks.
-
2. Bradford
Bradford's tourist site would lead you to believe that it's "a thriving cultural destination with a packed events calendar, award-winning museums, galleries and impressive theatres." That still didn't prevent it from making it to number 2 on this list, though.
-
1. London
First York, now London?! Yes, London does have its problems with overcrowding and the general expense of living there, but it's definitely not the worst place in Britain. We're assuming all the good will generated by the London 2012 Olympics is all but lost on this list's voters.
