Photo caption was funny. What the hell was Paris Bennett’s mom doing there? Did she win anything? A big giant HUH? from this end.

I know I’m probably not with the majority of television viewers on this, but I’ve found the entire “American Idol” phenomenon to be nothing more than a glorified, hyped version of “Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour,” where the contestants with the best chance of success are those who sound the most mainstream. A photo of nothing more than ciphers, this.

That’s pretty funny. Why is she in the picture?? Did other parents come as well and take pictures with the president?
