I don't want to say that because that's a lazy way to characterize someone. I'd rather highlight the more absurd qualities in Krishtine that I would gladly celebrate were she a quality journalist. But her insistence upon self-promotion and lazy journalism only make her "attitudinal ways" ripe for for mockery.

Having a grill and joking with her prim-looking friend about being a Blood and whatever else it is that may be a product of her cultural environment is not what bothers me...it's Krishtine herself. As a person.

However intentional it may be, cause we know Michael Richards didnt think he was racist when he made those infamous remarks at the Laugh Factory over month ago, the writer of this piece appears to have some very racist inclinations. There appears to be a sentiment of a fear of blackness from your piece, as you clearly demonstrate an irritation to Krishtine's attitudinal ways that are very cultural, especially within the Filipino community in the Bay Area.

If you want to say Krishtine acts to "ghetto" to be a music writer why dont you go ahead and make your stereotypical and prejudicial comment?

Take your pompous elitism and and step off.

I have to say I hated all these people immediately. I thought the show overall was terrible as well.

"Well, you have to give Rolling Stone credit for getting a group of people together who have nothing to say, to write about music that says nothing."

Line of the day, Otto.

As Krishtine's college editor, let me:

A) apologize for any small part I may have played, against my will, in unleashing this nightmare into the craft of journalism and the world at large; and

B) guarantee to you that the behavior you see on the show is 100% real and has nothing to do with the presence of cameras. The refusal to rewrite a piece or listen to editors; the lazy, unfocused story pitches; and the general egomania and shit-talking are all her daily habits.

She did leave me with one pleasant memory, though - after hearing her constantly brag about being the editor of Ruckus Magazine, we finally got our hands on a copy. It was postcard-sized and about 20 pages long, and included the "Dime of the Month" and the Weed of the Month, as well as Krishtine's feature about "Malcom X" (sic). Oh, how we laughed.

Was Krsihtine's mother drunk when she named her? Actually, FAS would explain a lot about many mtv reality show stars.

So far the star of this show is Joe Levy's lip scar.

Well, you have to give Rolling Stones credit for getting a group of people together who have nothing to say, to write about music that says nothing.

I watched a little of this, and each one of these "interns" reminded me of people I see at CMJ and SXSW who hold their walkie talkies and badges tightly, whispering to themselves, "I am the music industry, I am the music industry" only to return to their jobs at Hastings a week later.

And as for Joe Levy, he wouldn't recognize the next Hunter S. Thompson if that writer showed up in a seersucker suit and did a line of mojo off his desk. Stupid fuck thinks gonzo was just a Muppet blowing his horn.

Joe Levy also once told me I "lacked focus." Maybe that a catch phrase of his or something.

I wasn't aware Rolling Stone had anything to do with the music industry either. They're like the MTV of print magazines.

Right after the first test shot was taken, the photographer had to tell the stylist to: "go get a stack of CD's or something and put it in front of the blonde's "cha-cha." We have to keep this shit G-rated!"

Seriously, what an exhibitionist. She's like the JoJo of coquettish females.

Me: Wow, this show is not as bad as I thought it would be.

Roommate Who Has Nothing To Do With The Music Industry: Wow, who would give a shit about this show outside of the music industry?

Me: Um...
