Hoax.

Clay Aiken Fighting Back: He Was Just Keeeeding!!

Most have probably heard of the "Scandal 2007" blog that Clay Aiken wrote to
his Official Fan Club in the wee hours of February 1, 2007.  It received a
lot of publicity at the time because it seemed that Clay Aiken was "fighting
back" against the tabloids that he so often finds himself in.

For those of you who might not have seen the blog, here it is again.

It seems over the past few weeks, the tabloids and gossip mongers have
had their hands full coming up with new and exciting "scandals" for me to be
a part of. Yet, for all of their efforts to be on the "cutting edge" and the
forefront of bull$#@& journalism, it seems that some of them may be running
out of ideas and resorting to recycling and re-hashing some of their older
tall tales. How sad!?

With this in mind, we thought maybe we would try to give them a finger....
er.. a hand.

For all of the contests that we hold here on the OFC, this one promises to
be one of my favorites.
Build-Your-Own-Scandal!
That's right! Let's show off the creative abilities of the greatest group of
fans on Earth.

The contest is simple, but will require some thinking and planning...

Come up with the most outlandish story you can that places me (either alone
or with others close to me) in a really juicy/tawdry/scandalous/shameful
story.

Then, use any photos, videos, audio clips of me that you can find along with
your favorite multimedia enhancing/"doctoring" program (like a PhotoShop or
a sound/video editor) to create your "evidence"!

Maybe you have "pictures" of me being "abducted by oversized turnips"... or
... "video" of me "dancing with a three legged gorilla". Be creative!

You'll submit your "story" and "evidence" to an address that you'll find
online here at the OFC very soon.

I'll personally pick the "story" that not only is most creative, but has the
most CONVINCING and REALISTIC looking "evidence"!
(It obviously can't be that hard to come up with!)

The winner(s) will be featured here... PLUS... there will be a great prize
to go along with the honor of being the creator of "Scandal 2007"

This one is gonna be fun!!

Feel free to get started thinking...but, keep your eye out for details on
rules/requirements for entry and deadlines and prizes. they be announced
here soon.

Happy Fabricating!!

Current Mood: Excited


This blog was written by Clay Aiken in the early hours of the morning before
he was to appear on Good Morning America to promote UNICEF.

There was great rejoicing among Clay's fan base that "their man" was finally
"fighting back".
Clay Aiken's  blog was picked up by many internet media outlets and some
sites even created their own entries.

But guess what?

Now that over a month has passed with no further word regarding this
"contest", word has come through Clay Aiken's  Official Fan Club that Clay
was just "being snarky".

Here is the official announcement at the fan club that Clay's blog was all
"snark".

Ok, I found out from the Admin that the blog was nothing more than snark so
nobody has to go and dream up any tabloid stories...Clay was only joking
when he posted it...

Our love doesn't end here....it
lives forever on the wings of time

There was a lot of mixed reaction to this announcement from the members of
the Official Fan Club who take Clay Aiken at his word and it can be read at
