Search for the next great jackass

I'm all for open mic nights, battle of the bands contests and random ways for local bands to gain recognition, but when you're talking about fake bands I just can't support that.

The local Fox affiliate is promoting a contest "Search for the Next Great Air Band" to go along with the network's "The Next Great American Band." I think someone's been playing a bit too much Guitar Hero.

To enter the contest, all you have to do is film yourself lip syncing to a song or playing air guitar and you, yes you!, could be flown to Los Angeles for the show's finale.

This right here is why the AMPTP needs to get back to the table and agree to pay the WGA for all the fabulous work they do. Reality TV is not your friend!
