Wednesdays with Creager

If I haven't been over exhausted with all the "too much footage" footage - I might have had enough sentimentality left in me to make some egregious statement about how Ronnie Creager's mom's Stuffed Camel collection comes off as ad hoc Mike Kelley Sculpture.

But of course, Leave it to Reda to not miss the opportunity to make the expected tawdy and predictable camel toe joke.

Not only are the jokes unoriginal, but so is the actual media content.

And leave it to Reda to exhaust the whole Creager hiding prod in his neighborhood idea - as if he were mining for lost nuggets not covered in the first Ronnie Creager 411 day in the Life.

It's Just a prime Illustration of industry hackery- and how it taints and devalues something we would normally atleast sorta care about.

And as if the sound bite from the Smiths song on the show's title block shot is so clever in its ironic re-contextualization. Which instead, just gets more annoying with each subsequent viewing. (kinda like Reda's personality)


It also kinda blows my mind that someone is even publishing a book by this guy.


What's Next? Giovanni Reda on an episode of My Name is Earl?


And Didn't DVS just give him his own shoe? Wow.


Its a Prime example of the industry just sucking its own dick (or in this case fucking its own face)- promoting and blowing up some very minor/arbitrary figure and saturating the market with a product no one needs or cares about. A product that simply takes away from skateboarding's cultural cachet.
