#1: Leave Britney Alone!
A histrionic gay, Southern teen calling himself Chris Crocker sobbed and shrieked in a raw, impassioned defense of a fallen pop princess. With more than 18 million downloads, the popularity of this video confirms either A) that audiences share Crocker's rage against the media machine that documents Britney Spears' every gaffe or B) that anonymous drama queens are just as entertaining as pop-star train wrecks. Since Crocker just nabbed a reality show off the buzz from the video, we're voting for B.
