American Idol Fan Stabs Boyfriend For Switching Channel

Florida resident Cynthia Ware has been charged with attempted murder, after she went psycho on her boyfriend for changing the channel from American Idol to something else!

Ware is accused of pouring hot chocolate on boyfriend Kevin Johnson, 47, after Johnson went to bed following the dispute, said St. Petersburg police spokeswoman Jennifer Dawkins. She then stabbed him in the back with a steak knife and then, after he ran downstairs from the hotel room where they were living, she attacked him again, Dawkins said.

It was in the parking lot of the hotel â€“ the Empress Hotel, 1501 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N. â€“ where a crowd formed, and police were soon dispatched, Dawkins said.

It was unknown what exactly the dispute over the television show was, Dawkins said. During the dispute, he changed the channel, she kept arguing and he didn’t feel like arguing anymore, so he went to bed, Dawkins said. Johnson was sleeping when Ware attacked him, the spokeswoman said.

Johnson suffered second-degree burns, in addition to the stab wounds, and was taken to Bayfront Medical Center. He is expected to survive his injuries.

No really… turn OFF the TV.

I remember many times working in television, where shows would get preempted by let’s say, The President. The phones would ring off the hook, with viewers demanding things like, “Turn this off and turn the Price is Right back on.”
