A wholesome singing competition that celebrates the talent and life stories of average, hard-working Americans, the show has become a favorite, especially with children and teens. But now, Fox is considering filling the show with someone who is known primarily for crude profanity and explicit sex talk. <\/p>\n<p>When <i>Idol<\/i>&#8216;s co-creator and judge Simon Cowell announced he will leave the show at the end of this season, Fox immediately began searching for a replacement; and many news sources say that Fox is considering hiring Howard Stern. <\/p>\n<p><b>HOWARD STERN!<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The same Howard Stern who said of the gunmen at the school massacre in Columbine, &quot;Did those kids try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls?&#8230;If you&#8217;re going to kill yourself and kill all the kids, why wouldn&#8217;t you have some sex?&quot; The same Howard Stern whose TV program showed him personally shaving the genital area of a 19-year-old girl. The same Howard Stern whose broadcast conversations about &quot;gang bangs,&quot; anal sex, and violence against women used language so vile that he was forced off the public airwaves and onto satellite radio. <\/p>\n<p>Some people may think Stern would &quot;tone it down&quot; if chosen as a judge.
