Confession: Sometimes Larry and I get baked and watch Criss Angel Mindfreak


Fair enough, it's embarrassing. I know his Mindfreak act is stupid and totally fake. But if you're high enough some of the tricks are pretty cool. Plus I like checking out all the elements of my act that Criss Angel has incorporated into his own shtick. The eyes, mostly. But also the use of misdirection. Larry says I should sue the guy. "This spray-tanned punk has just ripped off your act, note for note," he says. "He's like a mix of you and Joe Perry." My feeling is that we're in such different industries that it's not a threat. Now if Criss Angel decided to start selling consumer electronics and claiming they possessed magical powers and quasi-religious significance, well, then we'd have a fight on our hands. As long as he sticks to fake levitation and fake sawing people in half, we're cool. Whether Joe Perry wants to sue is up to him.

Maybe it's just cuz I'm a flaming male heterosexual (like all of the apple mgmt of course), but seeing Chris Angel replace VP Megan just seems icky.

Maybe the yelptards are up to something to console us on our loss.

I don't thing he shaves or uses tanning solution. Think about it. He's Criss Angel. He knows magic, you guys. He made the hair disappear. And, as for the tan, he got it while lighting the sun. See, it burned out last week and he made the flames reappear...and, well, he got a bit close.

Then his wings caught on fire. Now he uses a chariot when he's lighting the sun ... and SPF 1 million.

Now El Jobso's blog has a bit of a gay vibe with that pic (not that there's anything wrong with that).

uh....steve. this picture makes flagtard uncomfortable. Criss Angel looks kind of gay. He looks like he wants to rape flagtard.

not that he could, because flagtard would kick his gay ass and shit, but seriously, take this shit away please.

he looks really gay. Like, quantum gay. Gay so gay its folded in on itself and not even light can escape.

he needs a poodle.



--do it.

Oh flagtard. It's always about You isn't it? What you want, what you fear. flagtard doth protest too much for a commentard one 'L' away from your greatest phobia.

Now give Criss your poodle.


*poof* done.

You be jealous because all of YOUR screamin' female fans are over 35! Seriously I think you should take some cues from Mr. Angel and levitate onto the stage at your next keynote. You wouldn't need wires or anything because your are cooler than gravity but his hair artist Andre could do wonders for your stage presence.

Or you could pop out of a cake.

Criss Angel, is not FAKE, he is the most amazing magician since Hodini. Give the kid a break, chill out and enjoy his act.
