Today I spent the day with my family at the San Diego Zoo, but I was thrilled to see earlier this morning that I got a follow up response from ZotFish. Also, last night I received an e-mail from Bean from the Kevin and Bean show.

Michael from ZotFish responded with, “Was amusing!. Bean from the Kevin and Bean show responded to my e-mails with, “very funny. good effort though!!”

I’m going to keep my blogging open for this through probably Tuesday at the latest just in case anyone else from the Kevin and Bean show replies. This has been a fun venture…hopefully I’ll get another opportunity to do something like this again in the future. Don’t worry ZotFish, I’ll leave you out of it next time! ;P

I was thrilled to find out when I got home that ZotFish had actually taken the time to respond to my Criss Angel question attempt personally. While I am bummed that things didn’t go as planned, I applaud ZotFish for their quick response to something like this. I really was hoping that perhaps I could have gotten some KROQ involvement before it got to this point, but I never knew for certain that they would get involved to begin with. I am going to send out an e-mail to the Kevin and Bean show and let them know about the question being taken down, but I do plan to direct them to my blog just in case they are still interested in how things went. Oh, and if you’re wondering what ZotFish had to say about the question, here is the response I got:

Hi Mike,

Congratulations on getting your question up to the #1 spot!

I appreciate the enthusiasm — ideally everyone would get that many of their friends to register and vote on their questions. Of course, we’ll have to remove it due to its harassing content, since we are launching a serious site.

We welcome all questions of yours that aren’t offensive, however.

Cheers
Michael

Again, there are no hard feelings with ZotFish and I wish nothing but the best for the site. I think it is a great concept and if they can get it to work and if they can get some responses from the celebrities I think it will be an incredible site. Again my purpose for this was simply to cause some buzz and hopefully have the opportunity to potentially get KROQ and some of their listeners involved in something that would be overall quite amusing. Obviously Criss Angel would have never answered, but the buzz alone would have been worth every ounce of effort.

If you are a fan of the Kevin and Bean show, which is aired weekdays on the Los Angeles based 106.7 KROQ, then the title of this post is familiar to you. Kevin and Bean have an ongoing joke about Criss Angel being a douche bag. However, I have taken his douchiness to the next level.

Earlier today I read Mashable.com’s review of ZotFish, a new website designed to allow the general public to ask celebrities, politicians, and athletes questions. ZotFish allows users to ask questions and then the more votes the questions get the better chance they have of being asked and/or answered by celebrities. As I browsed the celebrities featured on ZotFish I discovered they had magician Criss Angel listed.

Being the wise ass I am, I decided to create an account and ask the pressing question, “Why are you a douche bag?”. I have since contacted the whole Kevin and Bean morning show about my efforts in hopes that they will give me some on air hype to get more votes. The morning show has made similar efforts with Rachel Ray in an online question form. My hope as that they will aid my efforts in the same way.

You can view the Criss Angel page which features my question at http://www.zotfish.com/celeb.php?id=2279619. If you’re interested in helping me hype this please sign up and give my question a vote!

Update: As of 2:45pm PST this is how this effort is going for me
