Chris, being an attention whore of sorts, has frequently managed to find himself in the media spotlight. Television, newspapers, magazines and, of course, the internet - if Chris can find some way to earn his 15 minutes of fame some way, he'll do so.

Traditional Media

Richmond Times-Dispatch

In 1993, the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper ran an article detailing how Chris changed his name from "Christopher" to the more well-known "Christian". This is Chris's first known appearance in the media.

Chris's second appearance in the media was a news report in 1994 chronicling Chris's first victory, winning a contest celebrating one of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons.

Nintendo Power Magazine

Twice, Chris has used the magazine Nintendo Power to get himself attention. First was a letter Chris wrote telling Nintendo how he used a video game to cure his fear of talking to girls. The second time detailed Chris's Animal Crossing video, though there he was known as Sonichu, not Chris.

WBCN Toucher and Rich

On 12 May 2009 Chris's antics became so famous that it sparked the interest of a radio (podcast) in Boston. The whole media furor was sparked by the I Got A Fish video. However, most of the show covered Chris's videos addressed to Ivy. See Toucher and Rich Segment for complete coverage.
