Ryan Sheckler Mobbed at Autograph Signing
13 year old girls love them some Ryan Sheckler. Sheckler is a pro-skater and the star of MTV's hit reality series "Life Of Ryan." The 18 year old skate-boarding virtuoso's autograph signing into sheer pandemonium.
Skater turned rock-star Sheckler was at Tilly's (a surf skate retailer) signing autographs to promote his new line of t-shirts. Over 3000 screaming pre-teens showed up hoping to become "future girlfriend of Ryan Sheckler" on Valentine's day. Seven girls even camped out in front of the store overnight to be the first in line. An orderly promotional event turned into chaos as larger than expected crowds were told Sheckler would be leaving after the four hour signing event. (Hormonal teenage girls should not be underestimated. They may be small but have fists of fury... don't get between them and their favorite MTV heartthrob.) Long Beach PD was called... uh oh... and all hell broke loose. Reference NSYNC via 1998... scary huh? Ryan's Mother pulled him from the scene-- actually fearing for her son's safety. Lynn Spears... are you taking notes?!?!?! Keep offspring from danger! Actually, Britney, write that down too.
Sadly, the entire promotional event left the teenage girls unsatisfied and Sheckler fleeing for his life. Sounds like a typical high school relationship... ah... young love.
