Starving For Sanjaya

American Idol viewer goes on hunger strike in protest of Sanjaya Malakar.

[1] Sanjaya Malakar has many [2] fans, but Simon Cowell isn’t one of them. “He’s not going to win. I won’t be back if he does,” the American Idol judge [3] has said.

One viewer, a 23-year-old New Yorker known only as “J,” is just as eager to see [4] Malakar booted off. That’s because she has been on hunger strike, protesting the singer’s success on the show.

On day nine of the strike, J writes: “It’s getting to a point where I don’t know if I can continue on like this anymore, my parents are starting to get concerned.” She has also complained of having “[5] slight hallucinations” but refuses to eat until Malakar is sent home.

Go to J’s MySpace page ([6] Starving for Sanjaya) for more, or check out the video she recently posted on YouTube outlining her position. Bizarre, much? What say you [7] Sanjaya fans (“Fanjayas”)?

UPDATE: [8] J ends her strike (thanks, Ismat!)
