Sniffing out Bo Bice, American Idol star and olfactory wunderkind

Bo Bice, deodorant spokesperson

In the "Captain Obvious" department, we have word on a Bo Bice sighting--er, make that smelling--from an alert Maximum Awesome tipster. A very reliable source at CNN the day after Bo "crusty shirt" Bice's second place finish in American "we swear the results aren't fixed" Idol got an equally reliable whiff of the future Jason Guarini.

Bice "smelled like he hadn't showered since the first season debuted," said the source. Asked to describe the scent along a sliding scale between "gym socks" and "sour milk," our tipster replied, "hippie funk." Whoa, there Bo. Are those Birkenstocks? Or just a few extra layers of dead skin and fungus you wear on your feet? We have absolutely no doubt that violently shaking Mr. Bice's clothes would deposit enough leftover pot buds and resin to pack a pretty potent hashpipe. Insert "Cartman from South Park" joke here.

(For the culturally bankrupt, Jason Guarini was the second-place finisher on the first season. He didn't amount to much, although his hair has made several cameo appearances in Brillo pad commercials.)
