Celeb Today in Chris Crocker
posted by December 20 at 9:45 AM
onTime names Chris Crocker’s “Leave Britney Alone!” the top viral video of the year.
The New York Observer gets Crocker’s predictions for 2008. And guess what? It’s a good, funny interview.
And this is all, of course, the Stranger’s fault. If only we hadn’t have published Eli Sander’s thoughtful piece on Crocker—which you can read here—no one would have ever heard of Crocker. Damn you, Eli.

you too Dan, you too?
"If only we hadn’t have published Eli Sander’s thoughtful piece on Crocker—which you can read here—no one would have ever heard of Crocker."
This must come as a relief to his friends and family that knew him before the piece. I'll bet they were curious why they never heard of Chris -- Thank GOD for the Stranger -- once again!
I predict for 08: Chris Crocker will be drugged out and wandering the streets like a Different Strokes leftover in a few years. He'll briefly make a comeback, appearing in a drag show alonside Cody Castangna in Spokane, then evaporate.
I was being sarcastic, All Glory.
When do we get the "Leave Jamie Lynn Alone!" video? I can't wait!
Oh fuck that, Savage. You should be as embarassed for Eli as the next person.
Thanks to Eli, I'm looking forward to voting the Burner/Crocker ticket in 2016...
@7 - well, at least it will be a break from the Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Clinton-Clinton regime ...
Am not, Save. Read Eli's piece--it's terrific. Glad we sent Eli.
/suicide
crocker is totally eli's savage-iraq column. he'll never live that down.
...except I don't think dan fucked iraq.
Dan buttfucked Iraq into dripping fudge. Didn't you hear?
I actually read that looking for the "good, funny interview". I feel like little Sally when she yells at Linus for making her stay up in the pumpkin patch: "What a fool I was!"
I think Dan saw Saddam Hussein and the first thing that popped into his head was "moustache ride!".
speaking of dripping fudge, wtf happened to the elf??!
How many cocks has the whore had to suck to get this much unwarrented exposure?
Dan? Did you do a barter?
@16: Do you think maybe she got fired, and they made her take down her blog? If she got fired, I blame Dan! You shouldn't have named the store!
Much like Alberto Gonzales being named lawyer of the year by the bar association, getting viral video of the year is not as flattering as a cursory glance would reveal. It sucks.
As Crocker once lamented: the one time that he was not acting; the one video in which he was not doing what he thought would save him from the "real bitch island" - is in fact the one that made him e-famous. Therefor, his batshit crazy obsession for Britney is what makes this viral video of the year....NOT any amount of talent, notoriety, or extenuating circumstance other than how amazingly funny and schaedenfreud (dayum that is touch one to spell) it was to see this weird he/she thing crying on cam regarding somebody else's fame.
What would have saved him from Bitch Island is hard work and an education. Or maybe a sugar daddy. Too bad Eli is only a daddy.I've already said too much
@16
I tipped her that Savage exposed her blog and advised her to take it down until she was finished, then put it back up.
That waitress encouraged her as well.
At least she'll put it back up after the holidays. I'm glad you tipped her off!
I only know who Chris Crocker is because a friend of mine posted a blog on MySpace with that video in it. I originally thought that Chris was a girl!
I find Crocker fascinating, and I can't believe how many of you take him so seriously as to be offended by him. He's the best comment on the utter fakeness of pop culture since Wesley Willis. The typical cool celebrity du jour is artificially genuine; Crocker is genuinely artificial. He's Andy Warhol's bastard child -- a postmodern pop icon.
And Eli's article was great.
Wow, he totally stole Deven Green's "get down to my birth weight" joke.
