Cynical, I know, but I wonder how many of these people (not the ones above, the ones on flickr) are actors or artists just looking for a little internet exposure? Some of the criers are moving, but others seem a little fakey.

@Pickard.AL: Totally agree. It's shallow cleverness-as-art rather than what Abramovic does, which I think even many traditionalists find has real substance.

@CissyPants: If you think of it as a form of theater, does that help?

@LeCauchemar: He's very "articulate".

@tigolbitties: "No, you're a lesbian shitass!"

@Nihar: The "Killing Technique" headline doesn't exactly wholesome it up, either.

Ahem. Johnny Weir. Pauly Shore.

@Tambar: Snark Patrol, meet Captain Bringdown. Captain Bringdown, Snark Patrol.

@Triphena: I thought Lupe Fiasco is what happened when Lupe Velez killed herself.

@PaintedTrollop: I'll do some work on his diction, I'll tell you what....

@Gobiasomecoffee:I'm pretty sure she passed away not long ago. But yeah, she was awesome. Jonathan Ross' interview with her in 'The Incredibly Strange Film Show' was easily one of the highlights of that series.

@so5minutesago: Quite the opposite, I would say. It's branding.

@FortuneTeller: "Speidiot" is snappier.
