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.

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.)

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

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

But Posh is definitely hotter.

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.
