TV gig for "Leave Britney Alone!" guy

Can't believe this! Did you see the guy crying and screaming to "leave Britney alone!" on Youtube? Most painful two minutes of my life, and I only watched to the end hoping for a punchline (there wasn't). According to this msn article, the guy (Chris Crocker) will be getting a TV show!
