GEEK: iJustine is an eTard Mastermind

Justine Ezarik, AKA iJustine, may have amassed a throng of iFans by filling in for Justin Kan on Justin.tv, and through her blogging and videos, but let's be realistic: the great majority of said fans want solely to see her boobs. I'm not making this up. Read any of the comment threads in her "episodes." They say things like, "Show the boobies," and "BOOBZ PLEASE."

The 23-year-old, who describes herself as "the Internet," recently got her big break. Nope, not co-hosting Geek Riot (puhleeeez), but rather, receiving a 300-page AT&T/iPhone bill.

Wow, awesome claim to fame, iJustine. Makes you look like a real frickin' genius. So far, she's been interviewed by CNN, NPR, USA Today, Gizmodo...the list goes on. And why are these various "news" outlets interested in speaking with her? Simply because she received a 300-page phone bill. Guess what? CNN, NPR, USA Today, Gizmodo...they all missed the point. What they should be interviewing her about is how she totally planned this whole chain of events out from the very beginning.

Most recently, on her Justin.tv channel, she appared with a book beside her: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, which she described as "sorta a sequel" to The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference.



Considering that iJustine was largely unknown until she video-blogged her "totally candid" receipt of the now infamous 300-page phone bill--which was so long, by the way, because she chose to have it itemize the 30,000+ "text messages" that she sent/received (read: had Twitter spam her with)--it seems pretty clear that this whole thing was a stunt: iJustine's own personally crafted "tipping point."

And bravo, iJustine: It seems to have worked. You go, girl. Enjoy those 15 minutes. iGuess.

Posh is hotter.

wow, i thought this was the one place i could escape that stupid Justine/iPhone nonsense, its all over myspace too, shes their featured video or whatever.

I'd never heard of her before this. I'm so behind the times. Now that I have heard of her, I just want to see her boobs.

(Even though Posh is definitely hotter.)

she's the internet? i was on the internet when she was 4 years old. i'm the internet.

no actually the peter pan guy is the internet.

Someone got their makeup tips from watching Bratz!

I hadn't either, so I watched the videos. I want to kick her in the box.

Wow, imagine going on-line and liking a girl in hopes of seeing her boobies! What a bunch of pervs.

Because otherwise they may ave to report real news. and no one in the US media wants Americans to hear that!

+1

I have nothing against people taking advantage of our silly tabloid culture to raise their own star.

But Posh is definitely hotter.

Can I get on CNN for reading a book that's over 300 pages?

wow, there are some people that I simply didn't know existed until signing on today. Show us your boobs.

Oh my god, there has never been a better use for this guy :

Holy smokes, I didn't know there were all these tv channels for boring people doing nothing. Talk about a great way to sit in my house and waste away!

I hate the internet sometimes.

(<3 SG though, so it's okay)

I have never heard of any of these people or any of these websites. And now that I have, I still don't grasp why anybody cares.

And Posh is hotter.

OMG! 300 pages lyke for realz?

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

<- me
<- her

everything i have read about the iphone bill debacle ( this isn't really even new news as slashdot had coverage of other people recieving large bills weeks ago, they just weren't attractive ) has it not be the user's fault they are recieving super large bills, so if you have a reference that this young lady "chose" to make her bill super large, can you link it, because i didn't see one if your post.

There is an option that you have to turn on to get everything you do itemized. That is how you get a huge bill.

I don't know why someone who's supposed to be so tech savvy would even choose to get a paper bill in the first place, considering you have an option to turn that off.

Al GOre??

OMG her dad is going to be soooo mad at hr lol!!!

Is her box in a box?

OMG INBD!

To take the whole thing a step further, maybe the book was a plant. A clue for someone to notice and then spread the story even more, this time to people who don't care about some blondie's phone bill

Don't think I've ever seen someone so tailored made to be consumed by the mass market. Of course, I don't pay much attention to such things... until now! Damn you Tipping Point!

I'd have to agree Posh is way hotter

Posh is hotter. It's not even close.
People like iJustine need to be put on Ignore.
