No, me neither; at least until a couple of days ago that is.
For those of you not yet familiar with this bizarre apparition, ‘Crackhead’ describes herself as a ‘satirical performance artist and ambush interviewer’. ‘Crackhead’ has recently gained notoriety by ‘ambushing’ a rather sad and depressed looking Alec Baldwin in a coffee shop, where she harassed him with reference to the death on set gunshot incident a while ago, then demanded that he shout ‘Free Palestine’;
‘Crackhead’ then appeared over here on the Piers Morgan show, where Morgan unsuccessfully tried to find out just what she was trying to achieve by having a go at Baldwin, only to be faced with an increasingly outlandlish display (the ‘interview’ proper starts at 16.20);
Now okay, some might regard this kind of ‘performance’ as a kind of anarchic humour. Fair do’s if that’s the case, but personally I found the attempt to hound a clearly distressed Baldwin to be pointless and unsavoury. There’s no wit or humour here. As for the Morgan ‘interview’, well there’s a minute or so’s worth of novelty value I suppose, before it becomes clear that ‘Crackhead’ is little more than a gross-out ‘shock jock’ provocateur, the proverbial one-trick pony with little or nothing more to offer.
A bit pathetic really, don’t you think? Come back Dennis Pennis, all is forgiven.
Nominated by Ron Knee.
