Homage to YouTube Misfits

Weezer's new single Pork & Beans pays respect to all our favorite YouTube Web-Stars.
How many Youtube classics can you pick out?

Don't call me a wuss but I kind of cried. Especially seeing Crocker get that hug.

Crocker Knows What's Up

You can file this up under "Bottled Up Angst."

So here's this Chris Crocker guy again. You remember him? You know, the "Leave Britney Alone" guy? The guy that it was so funny to laugh at for his effeminacy and his undying support for Britney Spears.

Well, I've always been a fan of Chris Crocker and this goes waaaay before the whole Britney thing. About the time of the hair flip skit. I think he's funny, outrageous, off-the-wall silly, campy, talented but most of all, I find him courageous. Yeah that's right- he's courageous. This kid who goes by the alias Chris Crocker lives/lived in the South and unfortunately was too effeminate to hide himself. So instead of throwing himself into being shy and staying out of the mainstream he thrust himself out there with a "you don't like it- fuck you" attitude, "I'm still going to be funny," and flaunted his creativity and personality.

Then you have all these people mocking him for who he is- bashing him for being none other than his true self. And then you have people- gay men, bi men, married men (who suck dick) who sit and and like to say, "It's your drag queens and your leather men and the fags who ruin the pride events, who take down the rest of the community with them, who make me feel ashamed to live as a gay man!" Well, you know what? You fucking cowards- fuck you. We need you like a hole in the head. The real men of this community stand up for who they are and what they believe in while empowering others to be just as healthy and honest as they are. So you want to bash someone like Crocker for being out there, for being queeny? Fine. But ask yourself, what kind of balls do you have?

Testify, Crocker

Chris Crocker on Jimmy Kimmel

My last Chris Crocker post for awhile (I swear!)
Rumor has it Chris was spotted on the streets of New York this past weekend.

Chris Crocker: Youtube Daddy

I've been a huge fan of Chris Crocker ever since my friend played some videos of his for me a few months ago. (Thanks, Brendan.)

Comedian, gender-bender, and activist Chris Crocker celebrates over 3million hits since his latest, "Leave Britney Alone" vlog. It's not my favorite of his videos. But I recommend checking out his youtube page. I find him utterly hysterical and talented. I posted an article a few weeks back celebrating Chris and his potential TV development deals.

Congrats, kid!
here's his latest: Responding to Fox News Media attention

and a classic

More Chris Crocker!

Serious (NSFW)


Silly

I'm Hooked on this Kid too!

YouTube is amazing because now talented people everywhere have the means to voice themselves with little to no production costs. Talented people are popping up everywhere in vast fields of binary code.
Lately I've been following Video Blogger/Performer, Chris Crocker, deliver his opinions and philosophies through a seemingly well crafted, but certainly on the spot, tell-it-like-it-is ghetto-princess cum gay boy hilarity. Many of his spots are driven to be humorous but when he takes a more serious tone, like the video posted below, he comes across as more than a performer, more than a comedian, but an activist standing up for himself and everyone else daring to be themselves. According to the link above Chris has become so popular through MySpace and Youtube he is working with producers on show deals in both New York and LA.
You may roll your eyes at first, but give it a chance. You'll find the genius in it.
