Since the video appeared it’s been viewed more than 8 million times and Crocker has been asked to appear across TV networks in America on CNN, Fox News, the Howard Stern Show and MSNBC, and Variety reports that TV company 44 Blue Productions have now approached him to be in his own reality show.

At last an answer to that age old question: what do you get when you cross a D list celebrity with a satsuma?
Chantelle Houghton, the non sleb that won Celebrity Big Brother, looking as if she’s overdone the fake tan just a teeny tiny bit. Very curious orange!
Okay, so first you’ll need to watch the Chris Crocker video in order to really get the beauty of this Seth Green parody.
All done? Okay, now watch and enjoy:
There are apparently quite a few people out there who still like Britney Spears. Judging by the following youtube clip, Chris Crocker, is probably her number one fan.
He is crying. Crying and crying out for the media to LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE.
I also think he might be trapped under a duvet cover. Someone send help!
So I was watching telly last night for a change and this thing came on during an ad break.
It starts with a close up of a rather stoic looking gorilla’s face. In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins is playing in the background. At first I thought it might be a trailer for a natural history programme or an advert asking you to give money to the World Wildlife Fund or some other animal charity but as it progressed the camera panned out and you saw that the gorilla was in a music studio, sat behind a drum kit. Seconds later, the gorilla starts banging out the air drum bit of the song in time with the background music. Cool!
The 90-second film was written and directed by Sony Bravia ‘balls’ creative director Juan Cabral of Fallon London and is apparently part of Cadbury’s new £6.2 million campaign.
Exactly what a drumming gorilla has to do with chocolate is completely lost on me but who cares, it made me smile and that was all the producers say they wanted to do.
Well it just seemed like the right thing to do. There’s no clever science behind it – it’s just an effort to make you smile, in exactly the same way Cadbury Dairy Milk does.
And apparently they’ve got more adverts just like it up their sleeves! I love telly, I do.
Over the years, there have been lots of Public Service Adverts offering valuable advice to telly watchers. There was Rolf Harris telling kids about the importance of learning to swim, there was the cartoon cat Charley warning you about the dangers of playing near teapots and there was even the “Protect and Survive” advert which told you what to do in the event of a nuclear attack.
Well, now MTV has got in on the act and produced one featuring Nelly Furtado which should probably be required viewing for Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
Remember make friends with your underwear and you’ll have a friend for life.
