Let’s let our imaginations run free for a moment, shall we? Let’s imagine an awful, awful “what-if” scenario in which Barack Obama did NOT win the presidency on election night. Imagining it? No… you’re not doing a very good job. Just imagine the absolute worst moment in the history of humankind… and then multiply it by a kajillion.
Still having trouble imagining it? Well, the following video comes close to what that horrible, horrible moment might have looked like. Behold: six teenagers discovering that David Archuleta did NOT win this year’s American Idol.

Awesome… It reminds me of how Jerry West reacted when we drew the number one lottery pick in 2007.
Thank you for reminding me why I should be glad I didn’t have children.
i don’t think the girl in the baseball t (the husky one) was even going for David. She doesn’t really seem that sad. What a faker.
