Guess what? Ellen DeGeneres turned American Idol all gay and stuff! That’s why the ratings have dropped.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the show’s been on for years, it’s no longer novel, the contestants may not be as popular or exciting, viewers have grown weary of the words “Dawg” and “pitchy”, Ryan Seacrest has grated on us once too often, the formula has gotten old, there are four judges instead of three, Paula’s dazed and confused moments have come and gone…. nah…

It’s all liberal, gay, lesbian, “I have loved a woman” Ellen’s fault:

According to Gary McCullough, the director of Christian Newswire and probably a laugh riot at parties, Idol‘s ratings decline is directly linked to Ellen DeGeneres, who spent the whole season rubbing her lesbian activism right in our helpless faces.

Yes, the charming McCullough (who has an adorable smile that will haunt your children’s nightmares) thinks that America just doesn’t like to see “alternate lifestyles” in its family programming. And how did Ms. DeGeneres go about her brilliant plan of turning the once relentlessly-hetero Idol into the reality show version of Fire Island? Well, there was that time she said, “Yes, I have loved a woman.” And, you know, all the other gay stuff she did. Gay stuff! Gay Panic! Screech!

Here is a tad more of Gary the Homophobe’s owhiney opiney spew:

Here is my next prediction.  There will be no left wing social activist as a judge for the tenth season of American Idol. Not only will DeGeneres be gone, she will not be replaced by anyone close to a Rosie O’Donnell wanna-be. [...]

At this moment in entertainment history, network television is on a pro-homosexuality bender. The producers of American Idol chose to be a part of this push; it was a huge mistake.

How dare that commie Marxist homo show her face on a show that was already struggling to top itself?! By the way, did anyone happen to catch Ellen carrying a gay rights sign or wearing a “My gay lover and I eat Tofu while we have crazy hottt sex” tee shirt on air?  Me neither.

Listen, if Lady GaGa, Christina Aguilera, and Janet Jackson can’t up the ratings, then “Idol” may just need a magic I.V.

Sometimes shows just run their course. I wish homophobes like Gary, here, would, too.
