What can I say? I like interesting people that bring a little something different to the table, even if it makes me uncomfortable (and some of his videos do just that). But, hey, it's the spice of life! I spent about 30-40mins on Saturday morning watching a few of the videos with my fiancee'. She got a kick out of them as well.
Btw, the Britney Video is a joke. He's clearly lampooning himself, our star-obsessed culture, and Britney Spears (even though he claims to be her biggest fan).
He's very smart to refrain from "giving up the ghost" as it were, and admit that he's acting; the video is popular because people think it's real. (He's claimed several times that it's the only video, out of ALL of his videos, where he *isn't* acting. However, he has other "performance pieces" were he gets just as upset about things like "organic foods"...)
Even the video with his "brother" is fake. That's really his ex-boyfriend. He's a performance artist, and at 19yrs old, he's done pretty well for himself considering the level of national attention he has gotten. His videos are some of the most viewed videos on both Myspace and YouTube, and he's already inked some sort of deal for the future. There's talk about a reality show, featuring him getting along as a, uh, rather flamboyant gay kid in a small southern town. Which could really raise the level of awareness across the country regarding gay culture and acceptance.*
So, Jouster, I guess your definition of "loser" is different than mine.
P.S. *A reality show would be sort of sadly ironic, really, since his whole desire is to leave that town, even though his life there is a comedy goldmine. It's just not safe for him, it appears.
