Kyle Busch: People Are Obsessed With Me

Spencer Pratt, Randy Moss, the character of Amanda from Melrose Place (the old version), and Kyle Busch…. what do all these people (fictional and otherwise) have in common? Answer? They are all people we love to hate. Kyle Busch doesn’t seem to have a problem with that.

He told one source that “People are obsessed with everything I do. I enjoy it. I’m not here to be vanilla. What’s the ice cream flavor all green and purple? That’s me! Colorful.”

All I could say after that quote was: Purple and green ice cream? Is this a new flavor? Am I missing something?

Goofy comparisons aside, Kyle is having a good time being the bad boy of NASCAR. One source says:

When he’s stomping away without comment after crushing defeats, smashing guitars in a victory celebrations (as he did with the trophy at a Nationwide race in Nashville two weeks ago in what he called a tribute to his crew and the spirit of rock and roll) or opining about Earnhardt’s career-worst slump, Internet message boards and talk-show phone lines are lighting up — and so, apparently, are the cash registers.

People are buying his merchandise right and left. When he won over 20 NASCAR races his sales went up “more than 500%.” Hundred of new members have been added to his official fan club in the last few weeks alone.

How about you? Are you a Kyle Busch fan?
