iNarcissism?

I was watching tonight’s episode of Glenn Beck’s TV show and his last segment featured a young lady as a guest talking about her 300-page iPhone bill.
I found the transcript for the show here and share it with you now:
BECK: Do you remember about a month ago when all those numbskulls were out there camping in line just to get their hands on a brand-new iPhone? Yes, like -- anyway, I`ve got the feeling that none of them ever bothered to think ahead to the day when you`d be getting an iPhone bill. Apparently iPhone`s not free.
Anyway, the iPhone bills are a little longer than expected. In fact, they`re almost the length of a Harry Potter book. When Justine Ezarik of Pittsburgh opened her first iPhone bill over the weekend, it was nearly 300 pages long. She made a video documenting her first iPhone bill, which of course she has posted on YouTube, which I can download on my iPhone, except it would probably add another page to my bill. I mean, what did we do before iPhones and YouTube?
Joining me now is Justine. Justine, 300 pages?
JUSTINE EZARIK, GOT 300-PAGE IPHONE BILL: Hi.
BECK: I haven`t got my bill yet. What did you say?
EZARIK: Yes, it`s a little under 300, but it was double-sided, so...
BECK: Oh. So it`s almost 600. Yes.
EZARIK: Yes, pretty much.
BECK: How many text messages do you do?
EZARIK: Usually, on average, I`ll do about 35,000 a month, which is absolutely a slow month. I was actually under 30,000.
BECK: You know, we did the math on that. That`s 1,000 text messages a day. If you`re awake for 16 hours, that means you have to average 62.5 messages an hour, which is about one per minute. How do you do that?
EZARIK: Well, I mean, I do text a lot of people, but there`s also this service called Twitter that I use, and it updates me constantly with what my friends are doing. So it`s all through text message-based. And also Facebook, I use their entirely mobile...
BECK: Could you ask the cameraman to pull back? I want to see if you have any legs or anything. Are you confined to a bed? Or do you -- I mean, I`m just wondering. Pull back, please. I`m just wondering, do you have a life? Do you go out and do anything? You seem to have legs.
EZARIK: I do. And I also have my iPhone and my bill.
BECK: And your bill, right. So you have a Web cam, a Web site, a blog, a Facebook, MySpace, Flicker, Tweeter (sic). How do you do all of this? Why do you do all this?
EZARIK: Honestly, I`m not sure. Why? I`m not sure. I think it`s mostly I really love technology, and I love constantly being connected. So all of these things allow me to be connected.
BECK: There you go. Justine, thanks a lot.
And don`t forget, if you want to know what`s on tomorrow`s program, you can Tweeter (sic) me, because I know what`s going on.
Wow.
As for Justine Ezarik... just Google her to find her vlogging, blogging, flogging, etc. sites.
It’s nice to find someone more narcissistic and “jacked in” than me so I can point my finger at her and laugh.
Fozzout.
