Spencer Pratt must not spend much time on the Internet. He invoked the most overused online criticism to his detractors: “Get a life!” As if we haven’t heard that one before. Pratt was interviewed by our friends over at AOL Popeater, whose readers nearly universally voted to ban him and his succubus Heidi from their site last August. Instead of taking it lightly and being flattered that Popeater would still interview him despite the fact that their readers, and pretty much everyone else, couldn’t care less about him, Pratt lived up to his name, got offended and slung petty insults.

Back in August, we here at PopEater put it in the hands of our readers as to whether or not we should continue covering any news about Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. With a whopping 169,000 votes, 95 percent of PopEater voters said we should ban the ‘Hills’ duo. In the spirit of democracy, we wanted to give them a new chance at life, so we arranged an interview with them. What followed can only be described as a full-on verbal assault on our beloved readers by one Mr. Pratt, saying he will “track down all of the PopEater voters … and focus on destroying their lives…”

Upon informing Mr. Pratt of the poll and asking his response to the voting outcome, Pratt said “Wow, I can’t believe I even agreed to do an interview with your terrible Web site. I would say to your readers they should stop clicking the same mouse all day long and get a life.”

The conversation continued, and when PopEater asked if Heidi was available for a comment, Pratt told us that she “is very mad and doesn’t want to answer any questions, but I’m polite and will continue the interview even though I know you guys haven’t been posting us.”

If only the polite part were true.

We continued with an unrelated question about what the couple’s post-‘Hills’ plans might be, when Pratt began eviscerating our fine fanbase.

“I think I’m just going to track down all of the PopEater voters that voted to get us banned from a Web site and focus on destroying their lives,” he joked (we think). After questioning how our polling works and being assured that it was a fair vote, Pratt made things pretty clear: “Well, sh–, then I really don’t like any of your readers. (laughing) Touche!”

He then issues an open forum for anyone who would like to discuss the matter with him.

“Tell them all I’ll see them on Twitter, and the beef is on … Yea, let them know Spencer Pratt wants to throw down with all PopEater haters on his Twitter account (Here’s Spencer’s Twitter Account … Have Fun!) … I’ll see you there, you tell me why we don’t deserve to be on PopEater.”

Pratt then tried to argued that Popeater had a poll in which people could vote multiple times, but the interviewer told him that wasn’t true and that they only permitted one vote per IP address. He warmed up a little at the end and was nicer, but you could tell he was truly offended. Popeater is AOL’s gossip blog and they have plenty of readers so it’s not like Spencer is telling this to some smaller site. Nearly 170,000 people voted in that poll and they all demand no news about Speidi. Popeater has the audio of the interview if you’re interested in listening to how a small minded douche responds when he’s given another chance at the publicity he so hungrily seeks. Will these two get married, will they break up, will they stage a fake pregnancy? I think the real question is, “does anyone care?” That’s the real measure of how much of a life people have.
