I Hate Hollywood

44 Blue Productions may as well be throwing kittens in the river or sprinkling ground glass in your dinner. That's the level of physical and psychological harm they want to do to you.

The company that produced sub-par reality programing like Designing Blind (about a blind interior designer), Survive This! (that shows video clips and deconstructs them to show how to, well, survive situations), and Truth Or Scare (where Michelle Trachtenberg covers topics like vampires and Bigfoot) has added another shitty gem to their crown.

The annoying, melodramatic Chris Crocker, whose YouTube clip where he has a hissy fit over the Britney Spears mediaslam following the Video Music Awards, is now working on a development deal with them.

The show will be a docu-soap in the vein of MTV’s The Hills and Laguna Beach, and will follow the screaming 19 year old Crocker's life in Tennessee, where he lives with his grandparents.

PR bastards for the company state that Crocker had been a web hit before the tear-filled Britney rant, "having produced many popular videos on MySpace". That's like saying your 4-year old is a soccer all-star...which kid is it again? I can't tell, with all those kids swarming the ball and just kicking it and flailing for 60 minutes midfield.

"It's going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" the company said. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting."

That is an experience I never want to have. A whiny, flamboyant gay? How rebellious and novel. Send the show producers to West Hollywood for 10 minutes and I guarantee they'll find shoes more interesting than Crocker.
