Human Cannonball or "Idol" Reject?

Posted Sep 1st 2008 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

Tough choice, isn't it?

That's decision facing fairgoers at the Hickory American Legion Fair in Hickory, N.C. today. "Idol" wannabeen Phil Stacey headlines the fair tonight at 9:00 PM -- the same time David Smith the Human Cannonball is set to perform.

Don't worry -- the chainsaw art show is at 7:30, so you'll have plenty of time to catch it.
