Meet Colin Leahy. He was once an American Idol contestant! He was featured during season three's Parade of Misery, saying on the show that he was just like Clay Aiken because "I'm also a camp counselor." Well, salute your shorts and fast forward a few years and Counselor Colin has been arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he, um, sent sexually provocative text messages to a twelve year old boy and propositioned a ten year old lad for sexy time. And! He had been volunteering at a Brooklyn elementary school! Oh dear. It's just like that Scott Bairstow fiasco. [NYM]

Creepy child molester aside, Salute Your Shorts was the greatest show ever.

Take it from a former camp counselor who managed to stay out of trouble: Spell "Kumbaya" with a "K."

Is it okay to worried when the pornies, baby lusters, and miscreants of talent on American Idol aren't Paula Abdul.

Richard? Why is there a cum stain on the upper right corner of the video? Are you a predator of predators?
