VH1's "The Pick Up Artist" Stars Mystery, Matador, and J-Dog Interviewed by Fox News

I caught wind of this and wanted to pass it on, in case anyone had missed it/not heard about it..

VH1's "The Pick Up Artist" Stars Mystery, Matador, and J-Dog Interviewed by Fox News

A few things I found quite interesting about this:

1) The original speaker [the interviewer] plays into the stereotype when introducing the segment, but then he goes the other way and admits that they are really nice guys..more on this a little later..

2) Mystery definitely has a set answer for a number of questions [the more common/expected ones], so in essence, he treats the interview just as though he were gaming a girl..which is good and bad, since it makes sure he's prepared and comes off saying exactly what he wants to say, but at the same time, it makes him seem to be a little less "human" in the sense of relatability

3) Mystery's looking kind of aged here, at least at the beginning of it [it's his birthday, by the way: September 24]..and Matador looks like he's high and/or fucked up during his camera-time

4) As a whole, all these guys [especially Mystery, since he's the one who's relatively been interviewed all over the place] have gotten much better at interviewing, especially at avoiding hardcore community lingo that doesn't make any sense to anyone outside of the community [i.e. neg, IOI, etc] and discussing things in more layman's terms

5) The interview tried to bait Mystery into qualifying himself, especially in terms of being arrogant/possibly sleazy [going back to the stereotyping of "pick up artists"], and he completely loops around it by just talking about whatever he wants to say, in this case that he loves women

6) When they cut back to the studio, the interviewer corrects himself, from saying "they've tried to sh-.." to "they've showed them their techniques..", I think due to his being impressed and having met the guys, knowing that this shit is legit, and wanting to give them their due credit..more on this in a little bit..

7) I thought it was kind of funny when the interviewer was trying to make a joke of the thing, and these guys were taking it much more seriously than it was intended, each of them giving him advice on what to do while he keeps asking "Do you think it's going to work?"..finally, J-Dog catches on and just busts on him for it haa

8) At first, I was a little concerned as to why the guy would've staged such a bad attempt at the pick up, again, going along with reinforcing the stereotype of the community, but then - the guy actually defended it! Little bits at first, as in explaining that it was just a set-up and that these guys know what they're doing, but then ..

9) This whole time, the other guy who's there has been completely serious, no laughing, not even a crack of a smile..can someone say non-believing AFC..?? Nice..he's already been trying to interrupt the interviewer guy, from his own segment, and when he's been unable to, he shifts around uncomfortably..we know what's going to happen now..

10)The interviewer goes on to defend the PUAs by stating that they make it very clear that "pick up" is not about jus getting some girl to go home with you but rather about making a connection with a person

11)..and super AFC has had enough, interrupts, and does his AFC best to AMOG Mystery, Matador, and J-Dog!! hahah

12)..and the greatest part of all [leading all the way up from pts. 1 & 6]: the interview's getting all worked up now!! He's trying to interrupt the super AFC, in order to defend the PUAs and basically shut super AFC up! hahahah

13)..and super AFC is just not letting him, busting on the goggles and saying that the interviewer was wearing them, too..and the interviewer's upset yet trying to remain professional..hilarious!

14)..and of course, the dumb bitch, who has no idea, writes off the fact that these guys wouldn't appeal to her [or at least their clothing, if we give her the benefit of the doubt], and yet..here they are, running a segment on them and their hit VH1 show The Pick Up Artist, and she's been very interested to hear all about the interview, and she's not even there with the PUAs..

15)..and super AFC's still upset..poor guy..can't stop shifting around, still trying his best to bust on the PUAs as well as the interviewer for defending them, even though the guy brought up a great point about not blending in like everyone else and instead standing out from the crowd..super AFC has nothing to say regarding the point itself, so he tries desperately to reclaim some ground by dissing on the PUAs again ["..No dates..no dates..", and then the only smile he's had, since he got in the precious last word that AFC-types are always so concerned with getting..haa]..I almost want to game his daughter[s], in the roughest way, just to show him how much of an idiot he is for being so close-minded, especially when he is a news reporter..sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, guy
