Revision as of 07:47, 24 September 2017
Throughout most of his life, Chris has been a subject of journalism and paparazzi, whether he's aware of it or not. His life is literally documented on the internet on sites like yours truly, the Kiwi Farms, and Encyclopedia Dramatica. The reason for this is due to his own stupidity to openly admit and display his most embarrassing moments at the most inopportune times. Sometimes, people will learn more about Chris' life by interviewing him, or he will flat out do something so embarrassing, people can't help but share it with someone else.
Interviews with Chris
Over the course of Chris's life, he has experienced many fascinating events, and received plenty of attention. Naturally, this piques the curiosity of others, and this has culminated in many interviews with Chris, whether through the Internet or in the flesh.
An Interview with the Chris-Chan
- Main article: Christian Weston Chandler Interview
On the 17th of October 2008, Chris was granted his first official interview since his rise to internet fame through PSN.
Chris-chan Discusses...
- Main article: Chris-chan Discusses...
Chris-chan Discusses... is a series of interviews where Larry Bundy Jr., formerly known as Guru Larry, asks Chris questions that he usually avoids answering.
CatKnight
- Main article: CatKnight Interview
Roughly eight years after the PSN interview, CatKnight/MasterDisaster AKA Arthur Spatchcock interviewed Chris, posing as an interested English entrepreneur.
Lil E
- Main article: BraveryJerk Interviews
On 8 September 2016, a YouTube user by the name of Lil E interviewed Chris at a local eatery. The same individual, this time using his BraveryJerk account, interviewed Chris a second time at Cville Pride 2016.
Merryweathery
- Main article: Internet Dream Lounge
On 4 September 2017, Twitter user Merryweathery contacted Chris for an interview. At the moment, the recordings are complete, but it is unknown when the interview will be shared on the Internet.
Documentation on the Internet
Believe it or not, journalism was pretty much what got the ball rolling for where Chris is today in terms of his fame on the internet, though it wasn't through any interviews with our friend. Instead, it was because a curious troll just learned about Chris and his oddball lifestyle on 4chan, and therefore wanted to document it on Encyclopedia Dramatica to make fun of it. [1] This could have been the end of it if Chris simply handled this maturely, and just simply ignored the page as a whole. But of course, he takes a completely unexpected route, and not only gives the trolls more Chris related stuff to talk about but even does the same thing on wikis outside of Encyclopedia Dramatica.
4chan
The very beginning of how the internet came to know Chris.
Encyclopedia Dramatica
The start of Chris' infamy and years of being trolled.
Cwcki
Chris doesn't hide his disdain for the Cwcki and largely pays it no attention nowadays.
Wikipedia
Chris treated Wikipedia like Myspace and Facebook, turning his user page into an autobiography of his life (a violation of Wikipedia's rules). Other than getting his account terminated for this reason, he has also unknowingly journalized his entire life up to his discovery of Encyclopedia Dramatica, even if parts of it were blatant lies. This means Chris gave the general public clues for them to be able to piece together how Chris became screwed up enough to have his own Encyclopedia page, as well as the basics as to how Chris thinks life should roll to fit his standards, giving Encyclopedia Dramatica and the Cwcki a lot to work with.
CWCipedia
Since Chris was busy screwing with other wikis and started ranting about how he got banned from every single one because of it, Cogsdev, being a good sport, decided to make a special wiki just for him, where Chris can document as much of his personal life as he so desires. Chris primarily used this wiki to work on the autobiography he desired to share on the internet, make rants about things that bothered him, talk about things he loves, talk about fan-made works, and make updates on some his own projects, such as his Sonichu comics and his Little Big Planet levels. Interestingly enough, despite not being Cogsdev intention, people got to learn more about Chris, as he has expressed more about his life and opinions than anyone would have originally bargained for. This has continued for a couple of months until the entire wiki has been disabled due to the massive amounts of vandalism done to its pages.
Chris as a journalist
Chris has always had a compulsion to document his own life, only talking about topics that affect him, and only using his publications to further his interests. During his trials and tribulations on college he took it upon himself to publish a newslettler. Funnily enough, his style is reminiscent of Yellow Journalism, being characterized by:
- Scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news.
- Lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings.
- Use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudoscience, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts.
- Emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips.
- Dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" against the system.
Chris being Chris also incorporates elements from Tabloid journalism, such as:
- Sensational crime stories
- Gossip columns about celebrities and sport stars
- Junk food news
