Alexandra Wallace's Video: 'Genius' Publicity Stunt?

The Informer:

​Alexandra Wallace may not be as dumb as she acts. For a UCLA pity admit whose poli-sci career is obviously going nowhere, what could be better for her best shot -- reality TV with a side of B-list modeling -- than a little infamy?

At first, YouTube commenters condemned Wallace's "Asians in the Library" video as the biggest mistake of her life. In a day-after apology letter to the Daily Bruin, she wrote, "I cannot explain what possessed me to approach the subject as I did, and if I could undo it, I would."

But wait.

What bad, exactly, has come of Wallace's tirade? Though the outrage was vitriolic Sunday evening, and Wallace even reported receiving death threats to the UC Police Department, all that anger quickly erupted into an absurd Internet carnival of dubstep remixes, hot bikini pics (if nothing else, who wouldn't enjoy a good rage-screw?) and comedic parodies, to the point where her words became a harmless meme that could do no hurt.

Whether you agree with her or not, she is laughing all the way to the bank... She used the system to get attention.

There is nothing genius about. And she left UCLA.

There's something genius about that.

It's like reality TV - and yes a PR stunt - and a good one at that. It's funny but ultimately racist.

I don't think blonds with an IQ of 10 should be admitted into UCLA anymore. They're causing a spike in the entrance exam scores.

whatever it is she did...please delete the word 'genius'.

I agree. I don't really think it is "genius" to set herself up for a career in porn or as a Charlie Sheen "goddess".

Or a commentator on fox news.

Her motivations do not matter. Her timing and poor decisions do. If she was motivated by celebrity, let me be the first to say she makes Kathy Griffin look like Meryl Streep.

"reality TV with a side of B-list modeling"

More like "reality TV with a side of double D list modeling from what I can see."

The article claims she's a pity admit, which is not true. This is the face of the average UCLA student.

[Clare53]

No, she is not the face of the average UCLA student.

[Foxom]

You're right. The average face there has thinner eyes and dark hair.

A few of the rebuttal videos are quite clever and funny and that is the best way to deal with this bimbette, parody.

I like your extended bimbettes BTW.
