This is just plain stupid. And annoying.

American Idol is going to releasing freaking trading cards. Yeah. Trading cards. Like baseball cards but stupid. 

Nora Wong, FremantleMedia senior manager of consumer products said "The American Idol brand has always been really strong in the interactive space. With the trading cards, it's an old school way of interacting with the fans. It's another form of expression for the fans to demonstrate their connection with the show and collect their favorites."

OOOOHHHH, GET THIS! There will be 6 special cards that will be randomly slipped into the 5-card packs that are AUTOGRAPHED by past Idols. OMG! I HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALL! Yeah. Right. This is stupid. The show sucks. 

If you are interested in getting your hands on these trading cards, I don't want to know.
