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.

Yes. And I actually wish that I could send instant messages directly into the cars of assholes who cut me off to tell them how fucking stupid they are.

I'm going to defend Justine. She's not a stupid "hot" chick. I've read her blog. I dig her. There are some higher profile blogger girls out there pretending to be all tech *coughtechchickcough" but this girl is on a totally different level. It sucks that people say they just want to look at her tits.

Also, McKenneth is the sweetest ever.

i knew when i saw that movie that they must have planned that bill. its a good idea, (oh noes, technology is making things worse!) thank you for doing the research, so i can now just think that girl is a silly twat. if i could, i would ask her: how many takes, justine? how many takes to get the proper amount of indignation at the bill you planned?

posh is hotter... hell, that stoned "my ibook" girl is probably hotter.

You know, it is wrong where as everyone is oggling the picture of you holding the MBP, but I look at it in proportion to figure out how tall you are?

Then again, I am a dork like that.... tongue
