Criss Angel Takes Another Hit from the LA Times

Postby Richard Kaufman » May 9th, 2008, 12:26 am

The same LA Times blogger takes another whack at Angel and brings up an interesting point.

Don't forget to read the comments afterward! They're a scream.

The "Gossip Media" is terrible. Makes me glad sometimes, that I am a poor fool.

hmmm - they missed the obvious dig at Miley Cyrus but okay - guess he got off easy.

I hope his previews and opening go well.

Here's a good one:

the bottom line is that sex sells, and criss angel is hot, and for all of u boring man who try to bash him, u might want to consider changing ur look to a lot like he's, and u might get more women that way, criss angel rocks


Ha. Subterfuge. Everyone knows the really hot chicks dig good sentence structure and proper spelling.

The race to the bottom of the barrel is becoming a bore.

This post is actually relatively dated (4/14) in this writer's recent Criss criticism.

Since then he's hammered him a few more times...

How wonderfully representative of Angel's followers. Doubtless this youngster will save all the money he makes collecting aluminum cans from the trash so he can go to Vegas and watch Criss. Interesting to see how these kids have deliberately freed themselves from the shackles of education....man. Or is "dude" more appropriate here?

The link about C.A.'s hairdo, provided by Mr. LeBlanc above, contains the following CLASSIC exchange among the comments...

noneofurbiz, if I had to wear my hair in a mullet to keep all those hot chicks who type like you from coming near me, I would do it in a minute.

Whoever that dude suckerfish is, he now ranks among my heroes. The rest of you can eat ur hearth out.
