God, please shut the fuck up about fucking Chris Crocker! It's been posted once already and the same point was made and great, he's a fucking internet sensation! HOLY SHIT ZOMG! We've come so far!

I see what you're doing here, and if I didn't have a shitload of hatred for Chris Crocker, I would be amused. I love you, Dan.

have you seen the display of intelligence that people who contribute to youtube have? 800k views on youtube is 790k views by teenagers.

Who is this Chris Crocker, of whom you speak?

Might he be running against Dave Reichert, perchance?

Rioting Mob or queeny homo? Which one which one? Life's little choices are sometimes so hard to make.

Then stop posting the Chris Crocker vid, SLOG ...

It's like if I say "here's a video you shouldn't watch" and provide a link to it ... how many will then watch it?

Chris Crocker has cured me of The Gay. I despise him so much that I'm willing to deny being gay so as to avoid any possible link with him/her/it.

That's his biggest problem. He's constantly identifying himself as "gay". He's not gay. He's a fucking freakshow queer. There were anal fluids mixed with the sperm from which he came.

When I see his videos, I completely understand homophobia. There should be Nazi's for people like Chris Crocker.

Society is entertaining itself to death.


Obesity, ignorance, demise of Democracy, etc.

Entertaining itself to death.

Dan, the logic you are using to make this point is pretty squishy. You compare one video about Tibetan riots that has no context and doesn't tell the story (granted, raw footage IS valuable) to a short clip by Chris Crocker. But how many good videos are there out there abut Tibet and how many are about Crocker? How many views of all those riot videos have there been? How many of the one Crocker?

You can't just choose one video of a massive world event and compare it to one video of a non-entity if there are tons of videos of that world event.

“When I see his videos, I completely understand homophobia. There should be Nazi's for people like Chris Crocker.”

-Wow...

As a gay man, a man, hell, as a human being, I cringe at the sight and/or sound of Crocker. But death camps, gas chambers and a final solution?...

Really?

Hmmm. The Chris Crocker vid kind of made my day. He's really pretty. I hadn't noticed before. Good for him.

People like looking at pretty people more than civil unrest.

Yes. Really. 100% okay with it. I'd laugh at real footage. Not joking.

I don't really see the point you're trying to make, unless I'm looking too hard.
