#Response: Interview with @loriellenew

Alrite ... first off, I am grateful for anyone that sits down with TNTML for an interview. For reals, that's not bullshit. This site is my baby, and the fact that ANYONNNEEE reads us, makes me a happy little camper. I set this site up so that nerds of all kinds could explore their own definition of the word nerd, and we could all live in a state of unapologetically awesome bliss. Bottom line: I don't edit the posts. I am not the judger of all things awesome - so I just let things be ... but this interview REALLYYYYY bothered me.

I worked with @loriellenew on LiveVideo. Honestly have no problems with the chickie, even set her up with @wantowle and their super rad Owle Bubo device to help her enhance her livestreaming capabilities. Dude, this is what I'm all about - but I can't even remember the last time I have ever read a worse interview. For reals ...

Problem 1

Q: If you could work with "Alist" actors/actresses, who would you choose?

A: If I could work with anyone right now, my dream cast would be: George Clooney, Viggo Mortensen, Vincent Cassel, Cate Blanchett, and ME!

COME ONNNNN!!!! If you could work with any a-list actors, it would be yourself? That doesn't even make SENSE!!! And honestly babe, A-list? Come on ... call a spade a spade. We're all working the hustle.

Problem 2

Q: Have you ever experienced the "casting couch"?  if so, how did you deal with it?

A: I believe the "casting couch" is a myth of television and movies.  I've never seen it or heard of it happening in real life.

BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT!! There is so much fucking bullshit right here, my nose grew so much it just smashed my 24" ext monitor. BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!! I've been a "professional actor" in whatever classification you want to place that in ... for 10 years, and OMG!! The casting couch is VERY VERY VERY much alive and well. From agents, managers, produers, I mean COME ON!!! This is Hollywood!!! WOW! A bull actually just walked into the room and took a big shit on my leopard printed flip flops ... COME ON, man! 

Problem 3

Q: What social media websites do you love visiting?

A: I'm all over the Internet!  You can find me everywhere!  But to make it easier, start at my own personal website -- www.loriellenew.com -- and you can find the links to everything there!

Did the question not click?? What social media websites do YOU like?! Example: Facebook, LiveVideo, Twitter, dude - even Ping social media's illegitimate red headed stepchild would have been acceptable. Good lord!

Again, it is not my intention to rip @Loriellenew a new one ... haha that just sounded funny ... but come on! This is a perfect example of what doesn't work in new media PR. These fluff pieces just sound like nails on chalkboard!!!!!!! We're TNTML. This is some real shit we've got round these parts. I won't apologize for the interview, but I will definitely shake my fist in regards to the inauthentic nature of it all.

Am I being too harsh? Feel free to tweet me with your thoughts: @JenFriel
