Success Of “Bikini Girl” On American Idol Prompts Depression, Soul Searching

The advancing of Katrina "Bikini Girl "Darrell on American Idol has prompted a national orgy of soul searching, self-examination, and meditation unlike practically anything in American history, according to experts.

“We haven’t seen anything like this since the Challenger disaster, or maybe even the assassination of JFK,” Furman Jobright, chair of the National Organization of Therapists and Spiritual Advisors today told a hastily assembled Omaha, Nebraska news conference.

“People are shaken up,” Jobright said. “How could a woman in heels and a bikini, who can’t even sing that well, shake up the legitimate talent search processes of American Idol? It’s like telling children that there’s no such thing as the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus.”

Jobright told reporters that Americans have been turning to therapy, meditation, and “in certain cases, narcotics” in an effort to cope with the loss of meaning that Darrell’s early success on the program has triggered.

“I don’t even think the collapse of the economy has people as upset, and turning as inward, as this unfortunate situation,” Jobright said. “We’ve been instructing our therapists on what parents can tell children, and what we adults can tell ourselves. I’m sure some good will come of this, and we’ll be a stronger nation because we’ll have fought through the disillusionment that the Bikini Girl has caused.”
