Tila Tequila's reveals herself as Neo-Nazi, makes anti-Semitic music video

[Skynet]

Tila Tequila, a model for men's magazines, appeared on her own reality show "A Shot At Love," and was the host for Fuse TV.

Just now she came out on her website praising Adolf Hitler and saying that his side of the story was ignored in the history books.  And made a music video where she appears as a Neo-Nazi.

Part of me strongly believes that this is a stupid publicity stunt, but that doesn't really change the bizarre and offensive nature of it all.

"In April 2012, Tequila entered rehab after suffering a brain aneurysm caused by an accidental drug overdose."

That pretty much explains it.

I would have to agree and I'm still praying this is some manner of ridiculous joke.  It almost sounds like an SNL skit. I am not certain whether I am more offended or perplexed by this. To be honest, I had to do a double take when I saw the title of this thread because it sounded so wacky.

When did Tila Tequila become relevant again, assuming she was ever relevant? One of her apparent claims to fame is having the most page views on MySpace, of all places.

Hitler wasn't all that keen on substance abuse.  Just sayin' - someone with a stage name of 'Tequila' might consider that. 

Maybe if she changed it to 'Lager'...

*is going with the 'stupid publicity stunt' theory*

EDIT:  Actually, it could be cunningly brilliant.  How many people are going to forward this around Facebook, and how many of the people on Facebook are going to click over to YouTube to try to find this 'anti-Semetic video', just to see how bad it really is?  Next thing you know, she'll have more hits than Gangnam Style.

Sure, you'll get publicity, but being an out-and-out Neo-Nazi is pretty much a death sentence to your social life.  And good luck trying to find future employment in the television industry.

They used to say this about picketing soldier's funerals as well, but Westboro pulled it off.  They also said this about acting promiscuously in public, but Britney and Miley pulled it off.

As in German for "camp" -  Konzentrationslager

"Hitler's side of the story" has hardly been neglected in public debate, or in the kind of history many people are still living with.

But yeah, allusions to Nazism always make good copy. Makes me think of a blog celebrity from around here who said national socialism was a very loosely defined concept that people should be more calm about - most likely she had mixed up national socialism and nationalism - then following it up with "I was really aiming to toss a few firebrands into the gas chamber" and wondering why people felt offended over someone saying that...  ???  ::)

I was thinking more like Lagerbier.  ::)  Not anything nearly as fiendishly clever.

Tila Tequila would make a great Fuhreress.

She's be the first Asian-America, bixsexual, female Despot in history and that's a landmark I'd be proud to witness. I mean... if we're going to have despots... might as well have said despots celebrate diversity.

I highly doubt this is a publicity stunt simply because this is BAD publicity, even by modern pop culture standards.

It doesn't exactly benefit her for the world to think she's a neo-nazi psychopath. As people have said here, its pretty much career suicide.

As far as I can tell, though I'll openly admit I'm not exactly a doctor, aneurysm can lead to changes in personality. So its a pretty safe bet, I think, to assume her brain was kinda fried.

Honestly... I kinda feel a little sorry for her.

[Valthazar]

Why do you guys think it is career suicide?

I can already see someone making a thread here in 2 months of Russell Brand interviewing Tila, showing her as the crazy she is, for our entertainment.  There's big money in this.

Well she missed the 2013 train for that. We had a fox for this year. Maybe on 2014 if no one pulled a similar stunt. ;D

Hmm...sounds like something I hope we have someday in America, to truly prove we've become diverse: A poor, overweight, elderly bipolar polyethnic non-gendered pansexual atheist President.  I'd vote for them, honestly.  After all the crap they would have had to go through in their lives, they'd have to be the wisest, most grounded person to ever exist.

As far as Tila Tequila (first time I've ever heard of her)...she'll grind out her horrorshow just like Orly Taitz did, with a predictable and deservedly identical conclusion.

Who knew that oppression could be so tolerant and diverse. :P

I can't see it being THAT much. No business with any sense is going to want to go anywhere near her. The only real profit to be made is by showing up occasionally on tv to be paraded around as a freak show.
