Racist

The Resume

    Born in Greenville, Mississippi
    aka 'Mr. Bergis'
    Racist and homophobe
    Was repeatedly prank called by DJs at WOCL
    Would often go into rants against blacks and homosexuals after being provoked by the DJs
    Internet phenomenon
    Calls covered the following topics: Magazine telesales, the intended celebration of a 'Gay Day' celebrating homosexuality in Bergis' hometown, Bergis owing child support for a black baby after he had sex with an exotic dancer, sending his kids to a new elementary school for gay/lesbian/transsexual children sponsored by Ellen DeGeneres, taking in a black child in a 'Big Brothers/Sisters' Program, and the prospect of a black driver in NASCAR

Why he might be annoying:

    He may or may not be real.
    The radio station that made the calls reportedly admitted that he wasn't real.
    He was reportedly played by an aspiring actor named Steven Burgess.
    He believes that blacks have no place in NASCAR.
    He often uses profanity and racist statements, even when his kids are around.
    He threatened on multiple occasions to send the phone company after the callers, but apparently never did so.
    He gave out the names of his kids to the DJs during one call when he barely knew who they were.
    He didn't recognize the SoulGlo jingle from 'Coming to America' and thought it was an actual commercial.
    He believes having black people around automatically increases crime.
    His wife sometimes had to answer the phone because he was so angry.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was called multiple times by the DJs to the point of harassment.
    He specifically stated that he never cheated on his wife.
    He stands up for what he believes in.
    Many people consider the prank calls that feature him to be the funniest on the internet.
