Apparently Chris Crocker has made his own plea via the internet to be left alone??? I cannot wait to watch this video. Unfortunately, my job does not allow me the luxury of a flash player, so I cannot view videos while at work. But this will be the first thing I do when I get home.
I cant imagine that Chris has any idea how much people were bothering Britney. If you Google Britney you get results for days. I just Googled Chris and got a mere page of recent clips and they were intermingled with articles about the football player, Chris Crocker...now that Chris Crocker, at least his is famous for his athletic abilities.
Chris Crocker kind of looks like Tonya Harding and Heidi Montag...that's all he is famous for. Poor thing. I kind of want to give him a hug.

junk: Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity)
Just thought we could take a minute and revisit the issue of our old friend Chris Crocker. Seems just when I thought his fifteen minutes was up, I Googled the man, and I was shocked and amazed to see that Chris Crocker has gotten his very own entry in Wikipedia. It states he is famous for "internet activity" and has been active in this arena since 2006. So who was the first "internet celebrity"? We all remember the Star Wars Kid and Andy Milonakis. That's right we remember them....but what are they doing now? More notable "internet celebrities" that I hadnt heard of until researching for this blog are: Mahir Cagri (claims to be very first internet celebrity), Craig Shergold, Numa Numa!.I dont want the legend of Chris Crocker to die...I want to help his 15 minutes turn into 30. So stay tuned for more Chris updates.
Mahir Cagri
This guy is a Borat wanna-be or else Borat copied him. There is a legal battle involved. The popularity for this "internet celebrity" was said to be spread by word of mouth in the late 90s.
Makes no sense to me...but here it is.

Andy Milonakis
Born: 30 January 1976
Birthplace: Katonah, New York
Best Known As: Youthful-looking MTV prankster who did "The Superbowl Is Gay"
Comedian Andy Milonakis landed his own series on MTV in 2005, thanks in large part to "The Superbowl Is Gay," a short comedy film he posted on the Internet in 2003. The film, featuring Milonakis performing an impromptu "song" in which pretty much everything -- from DVDs to orange juice -- is "gay," made the rounds on the Web and drew attention to other short films he had posted at AngryNakedPat.com. Television personality Jimmy Kimmel took notice and hired Milonakis to do wacky man-on-the-street interviews for Jimmy Kimmel Live, which in turn led to a Kimmel-produced series for MTV, The Andy Milonakis Show. On TV Milonakis appears to be a young teenager whose crude and ridiculous antics celebrate a comedy rooted in immature pranks. In fact, he is much older than he appears, and it's been said his physical appearance is due to what he has called a "growth hormone thing." Like American Idol reject William Hung, Milonakis made a name for himself by being an uncommonly bad performer. In 2005 he appeared in the indie comedy Waiting... (starring Ryan Reynolds), and in 2007 he co-starred with Outkast's Big Boi in the comedy feature Who's Your Caddy?

Star Wars Kid
See it for yourself.
The amazing thing is...this video is still viewed and commented on regularly. Thanks to Kazaa and the internet...this video has been viewed approximately over 900 million times. Poor Canadian kid is apparently under psyciatric care for all the "pain and suffering" he has endured because of this video. Embarassing as it might be...this kid should realize. People watch because its funny. We arent lauging at you Stars Wars Kid...we are laughing with you. We have all stood in our homes, dorm rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc and done something childish, embarassing. Its what we do when no one is watching that gives us character. Hell, I have held many concerts using a brush for a microphone, tried to "surf" on my ironing board, done a little strip tease in the full length mirror, etc. Would I want to become an internet celebrity for doing these things? Hey....why not?

I havent forgotten Chrissy Poo!
Geez Louise! I didnt even know Chris had a million dollars until I read this article. Poor Chrissy Poo! And what is Onch Jewelry anyways?? I agree with this article saying they are just trying to get thier name in the news.

This article is seriously hilarious to me though. And Chris, if you are in need of representation, call me.

Chris Crocker....
I might be a little behind on the Chris Crocker phenom considering this whole Britney Spears thing that catapulted him out of simply being "Youtube Famous" to being semi-famous. Semi-famous...famous for a minute....I dont know if you can really use the word famous. My point is the guy is a raving lunatic. And I LOVE IT!!!!
To understand more about what I am about to go into you have to watch this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MzRn60irvc
You LOVE IT too, right?
The sheer bizzareness of this minute and a half leaves me with a few questions.
1. Is he for real? I think these are real emotions this boy is having. I do feel like he has been having problems with a boyfriend. Maybe the boyfriend thinks he is going through some mental problems whether it be as harsh as schizophrenia...i doubt it. I think Chris is trying to make a joke out of people saying he has a mental illness as a way for him to work it out in his own mind. If people tell you that you are crazy often enough, then you will start to believe it. I am not saying Chris Crocker has a mental illness...who knows....lets just call this teenage angst gone out of control.
2. Was there a reason to start making these videos? What in the world possesed this man to put a camera in front of his face and pour his heart out in the first place? I am sure he never imagined a clip of his would have close to 10 million views! If you take a step back and realize that this kid probably just started doing this as a video diary, and then it just blew up larger than himself...then it doesnt seem so crazy does it? Its kind of like the saying "dance like no one else is watching". For a while I am sure no one was watching.
3. Where does he go from here? I have looked at the couple posts he has made since the Britney clip. And they just arent as great as these raw clips from before he knew he was being watched, critiqued, etc. If Chris Crocker really is suffering from schizophrenia, etc...a life in the spotlight is not going to be good for him. We'll just have to keep watching and see!!

Watch it one more time!!! You know you love it!!!
