Earlier this week, Todd Seavey accomplished quite a feat. He made a C-SPAN clip go viral. The nerdy, bizarre revenge rant he unleashed on his ex-girlfriend, Helen Rittelmeyer, as she sat next to him at a panel for the “voices of the next conservative generation,” cut across political views, and thousands delighted in watching this spurned lover vent, libertarian-style. But he wasn’t finished. On Tuesday, Seavey took to his blog to react to the clip’s popularity, and share his views on the incident. He called his actions a “public intervention.”In a post titled “Welcome, New Readers! (About That C-SPAN2 Helen Rittelmeyer Thing…),” Seavey wrote: “Reform, Helen. Reform. Make this the most positive turning point in your life and everybody wins.” (The blog has now been made invite only, but you can see a Google cache of the post here.)
