Update: How Grand Theft Auto Measures Up In Pop Culture History

AMERICAN IDOL

More people voted in the American Idol (NWS) season 6 finale then did in the last presidential election. According to Telescope, the show brought in approximately 580 million votes. Seeing as it "only" takes someone approximately 50 hours to watch an entire season of American Idol, while the hours of playing GTA are infinite, guess who is the winner here? (At least by these numbers.)
