American Idol Pop Tarts, Brilliant or Worst Promotion Ever?

August 1, 2008 – 9:49 am by Jeff

Happy Friday everyone. You know the day is going to be a good one when you wake up and check your email, and the first thing you see is a hilarious gem like this. The image below came in one of those automated emails from TicketMaster announcing the availability of the American Idols 2008 Tour, sponsored by…wait for it…Pop Tarts.

I did not photoshop this one at all folks. This is the real deal, even though it looks like it could be the winner of a Gizmodo PhotoShop contest. I don’t know, maybe I am the only one who sees the humor in this. However, for me the damage is done. I will forever think of these wannabe pop stars as a bunch of “tarts”.
