TiVo and American Idol

As if it could not have been planned any better: tonight was the showdown and reveal of who wins this years title of American Idol and it was down to the two David’s (Archuleta, 17 and Cook, 25) and while stars and advertisers fought for minutes and seconds of the publics attention, the timer on our TiVo recording inched closer and closer to it’s green end and at one point even had Bear remark jokingly that it will cut off the results… guess what, the result came precisely at 10 PM and host Ryan Seacrest was finally announcing the winner and it went like this:

“And the winner is… David ….” – “Do you want to keep or delete this recording?”

Gladly, the web is so fast that we could trace down the results instantly and it was also on our local news (yeah, I’m in Kansas). It was actually almost canning how fast the internet is, as the Wiki.org site was already updated and talked about Donna’s Summer appearance on tonight’s show in the past tense!
