It's hilariously sad and makes me lose a little more faith in humanity...but it's amazing.

Yep. This is what happens when first cousins marry.

All joking aside, its really sad to think that there are people out there who are this whacked out.

He/she (it?) looks like the love child of Britney and David Spade.

I'll never get that 2 minutes and 11 seconds of my life back.

He's very self-conscious. And liberating. Many of his videos hit upon profound truths, lessons in social critique by means of unashamed self-projection. They're incredible.

This is brilliant. So is this.

Borderline schizophrenic? Probably, but only on your rules.

I'd love to meet him.

Capo, so this is the thread that brought you out of hiding? Glad to see your back.

The thing is, I sort of strangely like "Goodbye Horses". But this person is just plain disturbing.

Glad I could change your life in a meaningful, positive way by introducing you to this guy.

I agree.

Is this guy acting? Please tell me he's acting.

And hiiiiiiiii Mick

thats what i thought about 30 seconds in, but i think that was for real. classic shit. that dude is in the head.

There is one on there with him kissing his brother and how they are "biologically" brothers but are spiritual brothers...

He's acting. It isn't his brother. It was his boyfriend at the time.

OMGHE'SGAYTHATIZSOOOOOSICK!!!!!

I don't remember saying anything bad about gays....it was about incest. The fact that someone would make a video even "Acting" like thats his brother is sick.

If you don't mind, sick in what way? In every way that you wouldn't dare think about having sexual relations with your siblings or parents?

I wouldn't or haven't thought about having sex with my siblings or parents, if you or anyone else has thats on them, I think someone who has sex with their brother is sick.

I would hope not. Why would I imagine that when there's Derek Jeter to think about??

Perhaps the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

...but that summary is bollocks. At least I hope so!

That was a sweet video, although I have no idea what it has to do with this Chris Crocker guy and leaving Britney alone.

The video could have been truly disturbing without the music-video style footage during the middle part of the video, but it was still very cool.

Yeah.. the more I think about it, the more I think he's acting. I could care less whether he's gay or not.. and frankly I don't really care if he's a crazy Britney Spears fan or not..

But damn that was crazy. And sad.

WTF

You read my mind.

Nothing has been richer than watching Sarah Silverman's acidic monolouge after Britney's "performance".

"Have you seen Britney's two child. Their the cutest little mistakes you'll ever see"

The difference between Britney Spears and this You Tube guy is the guy has talent AND can perform.

I think spme folks are right for critisizing her performance, but I think it is wrong to make jabs at her "wieght". My god, she was not fat, but the tabloids and E!. com (I hate those snobs) Are saying she had a big belly. Whenever a girl gets more meat on her bones, suddenly she's "fat."

And that's total bull. So yes, leave her alone, people make mistakes, the great Briteny Spears is no different.

I just read that her managers AND lawyer quit her today.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a lawyer won't take your money, could you go any lower?

No offense to Don T and Klydon.

I see a distinct resemblance here...




Forget K-Fed, Britney. You need the Big Red Machine.

That kid's got toys in the attic.

Bingo.

The longer I watched these videos, the more I heard, "It will rub the lotion on its skin."

No offense taken, pizzaboy, by the way.

(AP) -- Chris Crocker has been called "queer," "a human train wreck," the "Britney guy," an androgynous "it" and much, much worse.

But how does this 19-year-old Internet phenomenon, known worldwide for his tearful YouTube defense of Britney Spears, define himself?

"I'm the key to world peace," says Crocker, sporting a sleeveless black T-shirt with a hot pink silhouette of Marilyn Monroe. His blond bob is swept behind an ear and the eye liner is, as always, flawless.

World peace aside, the teenager has captured millions of viewers on MySpace and YouTube with his passionate, campy and sometimes furious monologues about life.

Crocker, which is a stage name, had a cult following after he started posting video blogs a year ago. But it was "Leave Britney Alone" -- a profane, smeared-mascara answer to critics of Spears' performance on the MTV Video Music Awards -- that earned him instant fame and 8 million YouTube clicks.

"You're lucky she even performed for you!" he screams. "If anybody has a problem with her, you deal with me!"

Since then he's been featured on late night, cable and network news and scores of radio shows. The video itself has been parodied by dozens of other YouTube users, most famously by actor Seth Green.

And Crocker has done it all from his bedroom in his grandparents' home in eastern Tennessee. (He asked The Associated Press not to reveal his real name or exact hometown because his critics can be vicious, and he doesn't want anyone to know where he lives.)

Earlier this year, Crocker signed a development deal for a reality TV show originally intended to be filmed in his hometown, but now he thinks it may be time to leave.

It's tough to be openly gay in a conservative Southern town, he says. There have always been death threats, bullying and glares at his clothes and makeup. Oh, and he's always pushing someone's buttons.

"My grandparents can't go to their church any more," said Crocker, his spunk clouded momentarily with genuine concern.

He's fiercely protective of his grandparents, Pentecostal Christians who took over raising him when his teenage parents couldn't. Crocker said his outrageous behavior, a stark contrast to the rest of the family, started when he was in kindergarten. He raised eyebrows that year for bringing Barbie dolls to class for show-and-tell.

"What I do affects them, and I feel bad for that," he said of his family.

Crocker's grandmother, who declined to be interviewed, is seen in a handful of his videos, appearing as an uncomfortable bystander. In one, Crocker is imitating a Christian woman interviewing his grandmother, who says she loves her grandson. In another, his grandmother is patiently arguing with him over his attitude.

Crocker said that when she agreed to be taped, "she didn't really grasp the size of the audience."

Since August, Crocker and 44 Blue Productions, a Studio City, California, firm specializing in documentaries and reality programming, have been pitching shows to several networks, including MTV and LOGO, a gay and lesbian channel. Crocker signed on with 44 Blue in May.

"Chris first got on our radar a year ago," Rasha Drachkovitch, president and co-founder of 44 Blue, said in a statement. 44 Blue considers Crocker "a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star."

Crocker said there wasn't much interest in him as a reality TV star -- until the "Leave Britney Alone" video hit.

"It's just sad to me it takes a Britney video" to generate mainstream interest, he said.

He initially wasn't even going to post the Britney video, fearing that it would turn off his usual audience.

"They're not used to me talking about celebrities," he said. "I'm glad I posted it now, though, because I'm just giving Britney fans a voice."

Crocker sees Spears as a role model and says they have plenty in common: They're both Southerners, performers and "easy targets."

Most important to Crocker, he and Spears are both Sagittarians, the "entertainers" of the Zodiac. (Crocker had some serious reservations about being interviewed by a Capricorn for this story.)

If his proposed "Complaining with Chris Crocker" show is ever launched, he would love to host Spears. "I always say Britney's been my mom ... Britney's been there for me when my parents haven't," he said.

With all this talk of Spears, have the two actually met or even chatted?

Crocker coyly answered, "I can't say
