Help me out here

Jellyfish steal an idol's glory
Friday, May 26, 2006

What an outrageous front page on Thursday, May 25! A jellyfish in full color instead of the "American Idol" winner?

Don't you know more people voted for this talented young artist than for the U.S. president? This show is a media phenomenon.

I'm sick of seeing devastated New Orleans and rebuilding efforts in the paper for almost one year. Then there are politicians and their agendas, murders and the crime in our area.

I was shocked to see a huge color picture of an aquarium species rather than the amazing, wholesome talent of our generation. "Idol" was the "now" news, having the largest viewing audience in the history of TV.

Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee deserve more recognition. Shame on your staff.

I can't figure it out. Is it poorly executed irony? Or is this person really complaining?
