Slog - Comments on Is Our Site Moving Slowly? Blame Chris Crocker. http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/is_our_site_moving_slowly_blame_chris_cr Young Mr. Crocker, apparently dissatisfied that his item was only going for $1.99 in our Strangercrombie auction, just sent the following MySpace bulletin to his fans: You may love to hate on Chris Crocker, but you gotta at least respect the size of his online army. Just 12 words from him to them ("You want to talk to me on the phone? Click here to bid.") and our web site gets so flooded with hits that it has a near-death experience....

Myspace losers apparently don't have money, or maybe they do but don't crave their idol's attention quite as much as advertised.

We flat hate him. The paper wasted money flying you out there to make a pet twink whom you probably fucked while you were at it. It's the only thing that explains your blind adoration for this abhorrent "gay icon". Or maybe he DIDN'T give it up and that's why you continue to pathetically give him attention in hopes of keeping up with him.

It's sad. And it reflects poorly on you to anyone actually paying attention.

"but you gotta at least respect the size of his online army"

No, we don't.

His little "army" almost sank your site, dismaying advertisers and frustrating people who actually willingly come here because they like what your org does (including myself).


I really hope that after Strangercrombie you will either a)move on or b)move the fuck on and get over him so we don't have to continue to digest your love affair with a worthless piece of abnormal clinically fucked piece of shit.

Bids by actual Ebay users top out at $42 -- not bad, but not $10,000. The high bids after that are all obvious fakes, by newly-created bogus users.

Which means Fare Start is getting fucked by these losers, since no realistic higher bids can be entered unless the $10k bids are removed.

Very clever, asswipes.

$10,000 is more than a hit-for-hire on Crocker would toll. For a phone call? Please.
