Can we give the guy who jumped onstage at the Britney Spears concert Saturday night at Mohegan Sun just a little bit more attention?

I've gotten three press releases - yes, actual press releases - on this. As well as numerous blog posts and at least one YouTube video. One including the guy's picture. I'm not posting any of it. I'm not linking any of it. I'm particularly not posting the guy's picture because in your wildest imagination you couldn't create a face that was more ready for its closeup. It's a look of pure "I did this to get my name and photo all over the Internet and now it's gonna happen so I'm gonna give the camera my best 'hot' pout 'coz this is my big break."

The more attention we give this guy, the more chance it'll happen again.

(Note that I have no beef with blogs putting whatever they want out there, and am generally in favor of more information being out there than less. But c'mon - press releases? When's the guy's reality show premiere?)
