Brutal Honesty With Boh3m3
by boh3m3 on Sep.05, 2007, under Rants
I read a long ass article about “Radical Honesty” today [ Here], and thought it might be good to give my honest thoughts about some of the people lighting up the tubes nowadays.
At the top of the charts today is Chris Crocker, the self-appointed Queen of Ghetto, with his personal video masterpiece “Eat My Cornhole” currently at 300,000+ views.
For those of you who wish to stay on this page, a brief synopsis: Kathy Lee Gifford doesn’t care that you hate her, and wants to illustrate this by inviting you to tongue her anus.
Seriously, I have no qualms with Chris, but I can’t help but picture him as some kind of guest host on the View or perhaps Good Morning America. Maybe it’s the hair… perhaps the dead eyes… But without a doubt it’s the Colgate smile that seems to have been honed by years of getting second place in beauty pageants.
His videos can be seen at best as a somewhat clever satire on social views and morays, and at worst a grab for attention and a projection of sincerely skewed ideas. He posts 5 videos daily, so it seems that he is either not gainfully employed, or perhaps his employment requires dolling up and smiling in the face of adversity. Probably not a superhero.
Next up is sxephil. I’m almost at a loss here because my beef with him is more technical than anything else. I can’t stand his videos mainly because it’s scripted and his method of delivery comes off as a sports broadcaster who is better than you. He’s one of the few youtubers who has recently enjoyed a growth spurt of views not by content, but by careful choosing of thumbnails.
Like any other [and it seems EVERY other] red blooded horny interweb-dude, I like boobies. Kudos to Phil for capitalizing on this very important swing factor in viewing videos. The clincher here is that unfortunately for him, he is a youtube partner and subject to increased scrutiny by way of copyright.
WHAT YOU SAY?
I’m talking about photos. Photos that he did a little Google image search on and then used without permission of the original photographers. You know, the guys who own the copyright? Phil, if you’re reading this: be warned, photos are people too. You could just as easily have your videos taken down because of a photograph as you can have them removed because of music or video clips. And as a partner, I’m more than sure daddy Google isn’t going to be thrilled with paying you to include copyrighted material.
“But boh3m3! You just used HIS picture without permission!”, you say… Yes. Yes I did. But I don’t have banner ads on this page. Hence, I’m not directly making money through the use of said content ON this page. That doesn’t make it OK, but aside from him throwing a bitchfit and telling me to take it down, there is little risk or reason to ask me to remove it.
Ugh… Like the scourge of humanity carrying the same surname, Perez Hilton has decided to blow his green and pink wad of self on youtube and promote it via his digi-rag perezhilton.com
I had a chance to meet the rotund reveler of fashion review while working on a video with Lisa Donovan. Verdict? As fake as a model of a sculpture of silicon breasts in Second Life. He’s more phony than AT&T [HAH! GET IT? OMGLULZ]
Can someone tell me why this overweight Joker wannabe sporting a bruno mustache isn’t laughed into oblivion because he’s nitpicking other people’s fashion choices? Ignoring his personality flaws and a laugh that seems to have been spawned from Fran Drescher’s anus, the only merit I can see in his existence or notability is that no other human being in recent history has been quite as contradictory or hypocritical combined with piñata-like fashion choices and a desire to be “known for being known.”
Perez also likes finger painting and men’s penises. End.

Really liked this blog, Boh3m3. sxephil has been getting a lot of bad press lately, with what jipsi said about him and then the general negativity about his use of center shots, but I still enjoy his videos. For me, he needs to create original content rather than hacking up material that a thousand other people are commenting on (ie; celebrities). I do enjoy his delivery, however, and I think this is because I understand that it’s a character he’s representing. If he were actually like that in his real blogs, then I think I would find him offensive.
With regards to perez hilton, I admit I am a frequent visitor to his website, if only for more daily fix of celebrity news (and yes, I realize that makes me a total hypocrite with what I said about sxephil, but in my defense what attracted me to sxephil’s vblogs wasn’t his celebrity-related humor but rather was his humor based on a variety of subjects). I’m beginning to change my stance on the subject of celebrity news from it being a harmless indulgence to social calamity, but I admit I am a bit addicted to the drama of the lives of others.
And yes, I think his “hilarious” doodles of crack, cum, and even penises are idiotic, to say the least. But even media whores have to have fun some how, I suppose.
Btw, to the old forum people – does anyone know if Boh3m3’s still interested in articles for that side project of his?

I’m not sure if Perez is savvy with the world outside america but we have “Movember” in new zealand and australia which consists of everyone growing horrific handle-bar “tashes” (well everyone as in mainly men, I’ve been trying but it just isn’t working - however my aunt mary is doing a great job and I don’t think shes even aware its movember) for prostate cancer.
Its possible perez has caught wind of this because the movember idea is apparentky spreading throughout the world like some crazy sexually transmitted mo-sease. Or maybe just wants to be magnum PI. We’ll never know.
