It turns out that many of the sexy photos taken of Antonella Barba (including the one above) were taken at the WWII memorial. That’s just disgraceful and thoughtless. The irony is that it’s a slap in the face of a real American icon: a memorial that will be around forever representing the people who died for the freedoms that Antonella Barba receives.

But what’s worse is that when Americans complain about Barba, American Idol censors them. American Idol has already been bullying various websites to take down content exposing Antonella Barba, though the great thing about the web is that information gets disseminated so quickly that bullying attempts become futile. Still, American Idol continues to aggressively police its discussion forums. According to PopCrunch reader Stacy:

The American Idol discussion boards are censoring anyone who makes a post commenting that they are offended or outraged by Barba’s behavior. The posts and/or entire threads disappear in a matter of minutes, and going there to say you think she has tarnished the AI show will likely get you banned.

So a TV show that bears the name of America seems to want to cover up the fact that one of it’s contestants did soft-porn shots at a major, federal, American landmark dedicated to dead men and women who died protecting our country.

How ironic.
