CELEB: Thou Shalt Not Stalk: Conan O'Brien and the Creepy Priest

From the New York Post:

Go easy on the guy. Maybe his message was, "Jesus loves you Conan." Now, we'll never know.

Luckily there are records on The Huffington Post of other messages that Rev. Ajemian (aka Padre009) left for Conan O'Brien on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" message boards:

Is that from the New Testament or Old Testament? I can never tell the difference.

The Rev claims that he attended Harvard with O'Brien in the 1980s. He began stalking Conan in September of 2006 after their first meeting in Lawrence, Massachusetts at the christening of a church homeless shelter.

Ajemian used to live the same apartment building as Conan and even followed him to Italy.

Even though Ajemian used a handle on the NBC message boards he did more balls out stalking by writing to Conan on parish letterhead even calling himself a "priest-stalker":

Yeah! In 1 A.D. if you went to college with a television host, he would totally be your best friend. This modern world of not communicating with a harassing and possibly dangerous priest is such bullshit. We're so disconnected as a society. Damn you, iconography!

There's nothing funny about that one. It just invokes a bone-chilling "I want my mommy" fear deep inside of me.

But before Conan goes and gets a big(ger) head about this whole having his own stalker thing, let it be known that Rev. Ajemian also has a fixation with tennis God John McEnroe.

With his career in stalking and celebrity obsession it's a wonder that Rev. Ajemian was even an effective priest before leaving St. Patrick's church in Brookline, Massachusetts in 2007. But it turns out he's a multi-tasker. He can do it all! He can stalk and inspire his parishioners with his creepy sermons about his favorite movie, Casablanca.

And no one thought that was a little weird? Just tell everyone the parable about Jesus feeding all of those people with one loaf of bread and let them go home. Stop saying, "Here's looking at you kid." That's creepy.

But before you start fearing for Conan's life, not to worry, it seems like this was all just one big misunderstanding. The Huffington Post provided an update:

Phew. I think everyone, including Conan can sleep a little better tonight knowing that Ajemian wasn’t stalking, he was networking! And the way this "world like ours" works maybe his charges of stalking in the fourth degree, and two counts of aggravated harassment in the second degree will get him his own reality show.

SleepyLady has just learned that the Reverend checked himself into a hospital tonight. Let's be happy that maybe he'll start to get some help and stay off message boards.

On the bright side, at least he's not molesting children. Perhaps this is a movement for Catholic priesthood towards a more cleaner image.

Networking. Genius.

Why is it weird to memorise scenes from films? That's hardly an insight into psychotic behaviour...

Still. I think his stalking of Conan and others is pretty indicative that he is, in fact, a complete pineapple.

This is poorly written; it has no introduction. Anyway. On to other things.

i just read about this this morning and i couldn't help but giggle.

Isn't there some crappy teen movie that came out like 8 years ago where one of the characters was obsessed with Conan and then ended up marrying him?

right before they stopped taping because of the strike? nice.

"i wanna marry conan o'brien, he is the guy that i have been spyin'..."

BAH!!! I'm a link follower... you have 7 links in this article and they only went to the same two articles!

Speaking to a parishioner about Casablanca and actually sermonizing about the movie are two different things. Believe it or not, even I have spoken to people about movies I like. I can even quote from some of them. There was enough nutty stuff about this guy that trying to make that into something was uneccessary.

This made me laugh Would it be funny, or sad, if it were true...?

And his excuse was he was trying to work his way up in the church? Even in the church, it's who you know, not what you do? That's creepy.

It utilized the introduction from the article. I didn't know there was a specific format required here.

I enjoyed the write-up. It had humorous insights and didn't force completely unrelated opinions into it as one or two of the other editors regularly do.

And on another note, I hope Conan brings this event up on his show. Conan getting a creepy priest stalker, just seems like something he could turn into comedy gold with his self-depreciating humor.

too bad theres a writers strike going on right now or else the ol cone bone would be having a field day with this.
but if this doesnt get him into tabloids i dont know what will.

I've never been able to understand why Conan could attract a TV contract let alone a stalker. He's twice as boring as Seinfeld and that's saying allot or perhaps nothing. But the real point is why we are seeing so much of this kind of 3rd hand lazy writing in this venue at all. Regurgitating old news and adding a few fuck, shit, OMG, and/or LOLs is not journalism. Just Pathetic.

Actually, THAT'S saying nothing. But I don't understand how it's "saying nothing" to say that Conan is "twice as boring as Seinfeld" unless you mean to imply that you have no opinion and may find Seinfeld not boring at all. That would be saying nothing.

Wait, Suicide Girls is a journalistic enterprise? I thought I was here for naked women!

Ummm, who cares?
I blame myself for reading this.

Double Ummmm, If you were going to network in the church, wouldn't it be better to stalk Jesus, wait maybe Conan is the 2nd coming, nah I doubt Jesus would ever be that cheesy. never mind

he works at st. pat's? wow

This part of the venue IS about journalism. I personally don't come here for naked girls, I come her for naked girls with brains.

I'm not sure which makes him more weird - the stalking or the fact that he picked Conan O'Brien. But I'm not a priest so who knows. Maybe a new testament will be added with the book of Conan.
