Excuse Me, But Can I Borrow A Cupful Of Crazy?
You know how I'm intrigued by crazy people, such as those found at the Unidentified Skin Parasites Discussion Forum. But I've just stumbled across a crazy-in-the-making in the form of an overly dedicated Trevor Blumas fan. (Click on that link there and gaze into the all-seeing eye of crazy.)
"That's fascinating," I thought, "But it would be even more fascinating if I knew who the hell Trevor Blumas is!"
But actually, I've looked up who Trevor Blumas is, and he's at best "up-and-coming," if that, and his his biggest hit so far is Ice Princess.
What's actually far more fascinating than Trevor Blumas is Trevor Blumas' stalker: Michael Jerome Pardo of Morganville, New Jersey. Michael has set up a series of web pages on his website, which has the following testimony:
Every month, tens of thousands of people read dozens of thousands of pages from this web site.
I have only read a dozen thousand of them myself, but trust me - it's plenty!
This stalker guy goes around on various message groups posting about Trevor Blumas being gay. What's actually funny is that in most cases, this tidbit of information is what is almost always what is referred to as being "off topic," since Trevor Blumas is, in most of these instances, not actually being discussed because, as I just mentioned, Trevor Blumas is a practically unknown actor. "Outing" him is about as relevant as outing ME: while it may be true, nobody cares.
Then the stalker, to support his gay story, links to his own website, which is (shocking!) all about Trevor Blumas being gay; specifically, that Trevor Blumas is the allegedly gay allegedly Canadian former lover of Hayden Christensen.
Imagine, casting negative Canadian aspersions on someone's national preference!
The stalker uses pseudonyms and has conversations with himself, and also will post to groups having only the tiniest link to Trevor Blumas, like posting the clearly entirely made-up story that Trevor Blumas is HIV+ on a Disney message group because Ice Princess is a Disney movie, therefore naturally anyone looking at rec.arts.disney.parks would - of course! - need to have a link to 38 pages full of crazy speculation about an actor who was in a Disney movie once.
With minor digging, I've come across three aliases (1, 2, 3), giving the impression that there are three people out there who make Trevor Blumas the center of every conversation they have, from circumcision to music to Disneyworld, there's a Trevor Blumas connection to everything!
What's all the more creepy is that this stalker started crushing on Trevor Blumas when Trevor was, like 10 or something. There's a photograph on this page (which starts about as a different page but turns into a Trevor Blumas page halfway down) which has the Michael Jackson-style caption:
I urge you to look at the following photos, and if you can't tell that these photos exhibit the absolute beauty and goodness of this child, and the epitome of beauty and goodness in all children, then you will just NEVER get it.
Dude, what I actually see is a picture of an 8 year-old boy with pillowy lips on a web page made by a creepy old man in New Jersey who's skating exuberantly around the icy edge of Pedophilia Pond yelling "Look at me! Look at me!"
And in that case, posting your home address and phone number at the bottom of your web page is what we in the business call "not a very clever idea."
That is all. |
