TORONTO - William Hung butchered "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch of Sunday's matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers, much to the delight of 22,225 at SkyDome.
The American Idol reject best known for his hyperactive, tone-deaf rendition of Ricky Martin (news)'s "She Bangs," shrugged off a brief smattering of boos and belted out the baseball classic off-key while fans egged him on. Some even joined in.
Hung's presence brought a gaggle of media usually indifferent to baseball to the game, including staff from Rolling Stone magazine. A team official said more media credentials were issued Sunday than on opening day.
The Blue Jays initially tried to bring Hung in opening day, but that conflicted with the release of his debut album, "Inspiration," which is nearing 100,000 copies sold.
"I still am surprised," Hung said before the game. "I can't believe it."
The record deal is certainly testing the limits on the Hong Kong native's 15 minutes of fame. A civil engineering student at the University of California, he's spending most of his time these days touring to promote the album.

Why can't he just go away!?
His 15 minutes of fame are up and hasn't been funny for months.
Someone just needs to ship him away in a box or something.
On another sad note...
100,000 copies of that shitty album were SOLD!
Dumbing down of the world I say

this guy is an embarassment. When I first heard about him a few weeks ago (no, I have NEVER watched American Idol so had no idea who he was), I couldn't believe it...
I don't know who is more stupid. The people who watch/make fun of this retard, or William himself for being such an idiot. How stupid is the world that this is how you make money?

I don't know!
Is it because of him being mildly retarded?
Is it because of that shard of glass hanging out of his mouth (his teeth)?
I am thoroughly confused!
