You Should All Feel Safer Now

…because professional douchebag Spencer Pratt is fighting cyber-terrorism. From Fox News:

Reality television star Spencer Pratt is running from “The Hills” to fight cyber terrorism, FoxNews.com has confirmed.

Bill Beasley, president of American Defense Enterprises, a firearms training firm in Los Angeles, told FoxNews.com that he and Pratt are in the “beginning stages” of negotiations to start a cybersecurity venture.

“He’s always been very patriotic,” Beasley said Monday. “What you see on television is not him. He’s moving out of the Hollywood portion of his life.”

Apparently President Obama inspired him:

“Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges,” Pratt told People.

Awesome. Whats next? Jon Gosselin taking on North Korea?

Great–guy can barely tell the difference between his floppy and his hard drive, and he’s going to save us from the Chicom/Russian mob/Nigerian 419/spam hordes.

Just put the pillow over my face now.

I must be out of the loop, because I don’t have a clue as to who the hell Spencer Pratt is, or why I should care.

I don’t know who he is either although I have heard of the show. Not that that makes a damn bit of difference.

But give the kid his props. He is leaving the Hollyweird set and trying to do something better with his life. Even if he doesn’t know (and how do you know what he doesn’t know? he could be a closet geek. just saying) a thing about computer security it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know the right people or where to invest his funds.

OT and tankerswife,

Spencer Pratt is a “scripted reality” television star who has appeared in multiple “scripted reality” tv shows on MTV and other networks. His MO is to play this clueless, selfish douchebag that pisses people off. He and his wife will also pretty much do just about anything to gain publicity, good, bad, or ugly.

That is my fundamental problem with Pratt becoming involved in an issue like cyber-terrorism. It is a very serious issue and Pratt is obviously a very un-serious person. This is a publicity stunt, plain and simple. It is probably a ploy to gain attention from a wider audience. This is also part of the same Hollywood mindset that I railed against in my post on Sean Penn. Here is another Hollywood operative thinking that his experience in tinseltown imbues him with a knowledge of an issue that he no personal experience in.
