Chris Crocker: Freak of Nature - or Sad Stereotype?
It is no surprise that Chris Crocker is not an appropriate role model for our youth - I wouldn't say this is only because he is a "skank" but because he perpetuates some very damaging (and sad) stereotypes. His (softcore porn) "music video" "Freak of Nature" got me thinking about these stereotypes and the tragic physical and social cues he exhibits - so I decided to point out a few of them. As a bit of an "overshare" when I was growing up in the late 90's to early 2000's this is the same type of stuff I did, too, but on a whole other level... think less skank and more "I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it". When I watch the video I am like "is this a parody? Is this guy for real?" and each time I remind myself that yes ... this mess is real ... and he's no freak of nature - just a sad, washed up, gutter skank. I wonder who profits off of this stuff? In any case here's the stuff to pay attention to (and despise) while you watch the Chris Crocker "Freak of Nature" video:

Seismologists Charged with Manslaughter for Failing to Predict Earthquake
Have you ever wanted to sue the weather person for his or her inaccurate predictions? Wanted to send her a bill for your ruined shoes when the day was supposed to be sunny, maybe, or send him a bill for your cancelled family reunion pavilion or tent when the weather went foul?
