I wake up a few minutes ago to check my e-mail and this was among the pile...apparently internet sensation/douchebag Chris Crocker inked a deal with a TV production company that will give him his own show.

Jebus H. Tapdancing Christ.

The following is a quote from the article:

"Chris first got on our radar a year ago," said 44 Blue prexy/co-founder Rasha Drachkovitch, who said he wants to develop a show that plays to Crocker's strengths.

What strengths? To be an effiminate 18 year old pining over a washed up performer who probably doesn't give a wet fart over this punk?

"It's going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" he said. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star."

Because nothing says rebel like crying like a man-child on TV for publicity.

You know, I'd rather watch Cavemen for a full season than this POS. It's too f-ing early, so I'm getting me a coffee. There's the article link:

If one were to stop and take a serious look at the types of characters that VH1 & E! hires on a regular basis to cover their celebrity events (especially the fashion aspects), then on hindsight this really wouldn't seem like an unusual decision.

I picture this winding up on either of those channels. I don't think the major networks are THAT stupid to put something like this on.

This is all a publicity stunt. I would not be surprised if this thing became a millionaire. It was probably setup.

Wow. I hope this show airs one of those channels you have to tweak your antenna for. That way the majority of us don't hvae to worry about accidently flipping to his show.

I thought the same thing, but then I did remember that ABC is putting the Geico Cavemen on their network.

Fair play to the lad. He managed to get enough attention with his YouTube video so I can see why he'd get a show. Only, I can;t seeing it have much appeal.

I'd honestly rather watch a crappy scriped show than another crappy reality show. I still say that Cavemen will be cancelled before it finishes a full season.

Giving him his own show is bad enough, but calling him a rebel...?

Very good point. And I agree with your statement. I can't stand the cavemen commercials any more. A show won't last at all.

yea i'm not surprised.  People like to watch extreme weirdos go about their lives.  I think its called reality tv... no way Chris is capable of actually putting together a show ala what the buck even.
