Many television shows you see today have mostly skinny actresses or in shape people all over the screen. On American Idol, being skinny is what they want to see, especially when it comes to the audience that sits in the front of the stage that is mostly shown on television. At last week's elimination, an audience member was put in a frustrating situation. According to fitperez.com, Ashley Kauffman says that when she attended a free taping of American Idol with her five girlfriends, she was forced to sit in the back row, while her friends sat in the front because she was "too heavy." Kauffman says," a staff member pulled her from the front row and told her she was too big and too heavy to sit in the front." Once in the back another staff member said, " this makes sense that you are not with the skinny girls and in the last row." This just makes me sick to my stomach that people would be so cruel to a person like that. This just shows how the media tears us down and strives for the best appearance on their shows. I think that she deserves a big apology and should have never been moved in the first place. Hopefully people will turn American Idol off their television sets until the show apologizes. Media is a sick thing that is becoming worse everyday.
