Jeers: Idol Tarnished by Truth

Jeers to Fox for soiling its squeaky clean
American Idol with promos for the super-sleazy
Moment of Truth. Less than 15 minutes into this week's Beatles-themed sing-off, the network ran an ad for the lie-detector game show in which a contestant answers yes to the question, "Have you ever had physical relations with any of your friends' wives?" (It was followed, ironically enough, by a spot for the G-rated
Horton Hears a Who!) C'mon, Fox, a lot of us watch
Idol with our kids! We don't want to explain this trash to them - and that's the cold, hard truth.
