Susan Boyle! She says she’s never been kissed, lives with her cat Pebbles, and the video clip of her first appearance on the reality tv show Britain’s Got Talent has become the fifth most watched video online of all time.
She finished second place in the reality TV show and bloggers are shocked that she didn’t win the top prize, while newspapers are declaring her a one hit wonder, not deserving of her overnight success.
She’s been reported to have entered a private London clinic for exhaustion following the intense appearance on the talent show.
Is the battle over Susan Boyle about her as a singer or about the legitimacy of new media? After all, it was the internet that made her a international success.
On today’s show our pal photographer Jason Smith joins us to reflect on the phenomenon of Susan Boyle’s career. Is traditional media threatened by her rise to fame? What lies in the future for this viral superstar?

Standard Podcast [1:01:35m]:
Chris Crocker turned to the internet to escape the torment of being chased by gangs of boys at the mall.
The internet helped him connect with the greater world around him when he couldn’t create a gay-straight alliance in his school and he left to be home schooled. To grow up a gay, eccentric and flamboyant teen has never been easy especially in a small conservative town in Tennessee.
If it weren’t for the internet where would Chris Crocker be?
Today Chris is one of the most watched and imitated video bloggers online. His iconic video of himself weeping and imploring the public to “Leave Britney Alone” made him a household name.
Chris’ videos represent the dramatic change we’re seeing in how we create and consume media. Chris’ videos are just as popular as the YouTube Presidential debates or the evening news. For millions of people everywhere, his opinion matters.
Despite this, old media companies are threatened by Chris popularity because of his bold desire to express himself at any cost. They can’t control him and he doesn’t need them.
It’s easy to question the authenticity of Chris’ videos because he’s just that good. He’s eerily in touch with his dark emotions and quickly cuts through the hypocrisy of the “haters” with his wit and words.
“Leave Britney Alone” proves to be one of the most emotionally over the top videos I’ve ever seen online. I believe Chris cried not so much for Britney Spears but rather to express the pain and suffering he endured having gone through the hell of homophobia as a teenager. In many ways, Chris Crocker represents the tortured gay youth who fought back and lived.
Chris Crocker really is a huge fan of Britney Spears, even though she has conservative leanings and a complete lack of interest in gay rights of any kind. Remember, she was FOR the War in Iraq and said in many interviews that we should “stand by our President” despite his reckless policies.
Chris sees something bigger inside of Britney. He believes her to be a liberal person trapped by the conservative world around her.
People can’t leave Britney alone or any other tragic celebrity for that matter because they help us cope with our everyday problems. When we see someone richer, more attractive and more powerful than us struggling to hold on, it makes it easy to come to peace with our place in the world.
On today’s show Chris Crocker joins us to talk in-depth about his popular video blog, his passion for following people’s horoscope and how he may team up with Puerto Rican TV astrologer Walter Mercado to reach a hip, young new audience. We also talk with Chris about how he personally deals with the vicious hate online and offline, what he thinks of all those parody videos of his work and where in Los Angeles you should hang out if you want to hook up with Chris.
And we put to rest the rumors surrounding Chris’ HIV/AIDS conspiracy as a government biological weapon gone wrong and being vilified for simply being himself and being good at it!

On today’s show we’ve got the very funny Deven Green, YouTube Comedy sensation, known for her videos as “Brenda Dickson – Welcome to my Home” and Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian.
Hailing from the great white north, Deven Green was a runway model, a competitive ice skater and the first female voice for the Canadian movie phone.
Her husband, Joel Bryant, sent Deven the camp sensation, Brenda Dickson’s condescending 1980s “Welcome to My Home” video which has become a Youtube sensation. Devin recognized the parody gold waiting to be mined in the video and her lampoon soon became very popular on Youtube.
The spoof gained her a lot of attention and she’s received a copyright infringement notice from Brenda’s lawyers.
Deven also works another wonderful character, Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian. Betty lays it out on why she truly is deserving of God’s gifts and why you are not.
Listen as we talk with Deven about what’s it like being an outspoken, fierce new media diva in Hollywood, her hot husband actor Joel Bryant and doing comedy shows in men’s prisons.
Plus Devin Shares her insights on becoming a comedy sensation on Youtube!
Did the Kaballah religion destroy Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s marriage or was it Madonna’s obsession with perfection? Sources close to Ritchie say that sex with Maddonna was “cuddling up with gristle” because she worked out four hours everyday.
New website for Christian nymphomaniacs who just can’t get enough of married, monogamous sex. i have a feeling this website is going to get out of control in no time at all. Eventually it will become “Swinging for Jesus.”
The deadliest reality tv show yet- Live Like You’re Dying, is produced by Survivor Jeff Probst and it takes the terminally ill on the last adventure of their life.
