Greedy Jason Castro and His Fans Deserve a Smackdown

A really disgusting trend has popped up regarding Jason Castro and his family. It appears that they are milking his idiot fans for money... and the fans are going along with it. It appears that his fans bought Jason's family free flights to Los Angeles among other things, and now the fans are raising money to purchase him a computer because he's complaining that his isn't working well. Can't these idiot fans think of something better to do with their money? Castro is going to pocket enough money from the Idol tour to buy himself his own damn computer. Michael Johns and David Cook have been much more tactful and are encouraging their fans to send any donations to Luke Menard's family, as Luke is currently battling cancer and his medical bills are very high. David and Michael have shown themselves to have class, and it's commendable. This has just led the Castrotards to fight amongst themselves over who deserves money more, and it's pretty hilarious. We'll spell it out for you... you are an idiot if you buy Jason Castro a computer. And Jason is ridiculous to encourage his fans to do this. When will it end? No time soon. Now Ramiele is posting blogs, sad that she doesn't have a guitar. Buy your own damn guitar, woman. You people are sad.

It blows my mind how fucking stupid these tards are. I mean, I know they're tards, but come on! This is ridiculous. Defending these outlandish gifts by saying "he's only making $100k" is pathetic. I can't speak for the tards, but that's 3 years of work for me. Considering some of the tards are underage, I'm guessing they're using their parents' money. I wonder if their moms and dads know that the allowance they work so hard to give their kids to teach them about fiscal responsibility is going instead to a spoiled demi-celebrity (who will likely be forgotten within 5 years, tops.)

The greed displayed by Castro & his family is a disgrace. They are probably too ignorant to be ashamed of themselves.

Idols, buy yourself fucking staff for own money, don't ripp off kids - this is pathetic.

Though I am a self-confessed Baiotard, I was totally shocked and disappointed by your wish list. Aside from the platinum cockring, it all came across as very tacky and far too 1980s! I know that's your era and all, but really, get with the new millennium already! ;) Oh, and I sure hope you weren't planning to name your monkey butler Bubbles...its been done man, its been done.

Love ya,
(Adoring Fan) Moxie!

I must disagree, Moxie. While my list may be tacky, it is far from 1980s. If it were a 1980s list, I would have asked for a totally rad diamond-studded Swatch with one of those neat little rubber T-bone face guards (also diamond-studded).

Acceptable substitutes for the Swatch would be:

1. One awesome new stainless steel DeLorean in gold. Optional flux capacitor a plus!

2. One koala butler. Also acceptable would be a kangaroo butler, a Paul Hogan butler, or a Yahoo Serious butler. Also needed is at least one year's supply of eucalyptus and/or vegemite to feed the Aussie butler.

3. One pair of pristine parachute pants with lots of zippers. If you can find some that are entirely made of zippers, that would be totally awesome to the max! Also acceptable are some sweet Jamz and a pair of checkered Vans.

4. One copy of each of the following films to play on my rad new BetaMax machine: Valley Girl, Rad, Mannequin, Breakin', Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo, Breakin' III: Judgment Day.

5. One working and artificially intelligent Johnny Five robot, fully equipped with shoulder-fire laser gun and adorable quotations. Must be able to dance and sing with me to the Bee Gees "More Than A Woman." Also must be accompanied at all times by "Who's Johnny?" theme music, performed by El DeBarge.

I am a big fan of Jason Castro. I think he has a great voice and was genuine on the show. I'm sick of morons ASSuming that he's a stoner because he has dreadlocks (which is stereotypical), but I'll let that slide, as I always do. Because someone here once said that it's merely in jest.

I don't agree with the raising of money for him. Now, he has said that he's producing a record with or without a contract. Now, even if he is getting $100K from AI for the tour, that is still hardly enough to cover the costs for creating an entire album, marketing it, advertising it, shooting music videos, etc. I would never think of sending him money, but many would and I don't think it's up to anyone here or anywhere else to tell them what is an "acceptable" way to spend their hard-earned money.

I believe that the "fans bought Jason's family free flights to Los Angeles" story is unfounded. I've been to their message board and never once saw that - I'd like proof.

Also I think that his mom's "emphatic approval" of the money stems from her belief that her son does not want to sign a record deal and knows how much that might cost him. I don't believe that she's selfish; I believe that she wants the best for her son like every other parent.

Truth is, I want Jason to do well. I think he will. Some more than others want to try to ensure that. I'm convinced his talent will pave his way - not money. Also, I want to help Luke. I think it's noble and honorable and a caring, benevolent thing to do. We don't all have the same priorities. Do what you think is right. I'd be shocked if even 1/3 of the people on this thread criticizing Jason and his fans for this have donated to Luke. Pot.Kettle.Black.

I rest my case. Call me a Tard if you want. I know I am not a tard and definitely have not presented myself in such a manner as one (I saw the Archu-D2 post a while back).

The only way Jason is going to succeed in the music biz is if his family bows out and lets him sign a contract with a good label.
From what I've heard he's had offers but isn't biting because then his family would lose control of his website, merchandise etc.

Too bad, the kid has potential but it just ain't gonna happen for him now.

*wistfully nostalgic*

Ah...Yahoo Serious...talk about a painfully short career! I've got the "Who's Johnny" 45 ready to send to you, but it's far from new and I know new is important. Perhaps I could bedazzle the label and deliver it accompanied by Adrian Zmed and some Solid Gold dancers to make up for the wear and tear.

The sad thing about our conversation regarding your list(s) is that everyone and everything on you have suggested has more personality and sales appeal than basically every A.I. Top 10 contestant in the last 7 years combined. So far the plants we've heard about for AI8 all appear to be grody to the max and make me want to hurl. Sad, very sad.

;)

If there were any record deals on the table I doubt they'd be trolling the internet trying to swindle cash from deluded fans. A real management team would be trying to get something in the works. WTF kind of dumbass business model entails fan donations? Wouldn't surprise if Jason's record never materializes...but the Castro family will have a new flat-screen TV.

As for donating to Luke's cause, I'm awaiting for him to set up his Paypal account in order to do so.

Oh yea, buying Ramiele a guitar is a terrible idea. That girl should not be encouraged to continue doing any music. At all. Go back to pouring soy sauce in little cups at your previous job, Rami.

Yeah, buy Mookie a guitar instead. He actually needs one now.

And as far as donating to Castro because you think he'll need it for a record deal, how about donating to the local artists in your area instead? They're the ones with the real talent, and the ones who really need it.

And it ain't just the dreads. It's his incoherent speech, his yawning on the AI stage, his complete obliviousness to what's going on during an elimination round, and his entire demeanor. Uh HUH HUH HUH.
