Things got a little crazy at the opening party for the Boom Boom Room, a new club on the top of The Standard Hotel Saturday night—Jesse Camp straight-up urinated off the roof! Wait, who's Jesse Camp? Apparently, he was an MTV personality at the end of the last century. And he still gets invited to things! But just because Camp accepts an invitation doesn't mean he's agreeing to play by society's uptight rules. Here's how he breaks it down for New York's Shira Levine: "I'm not going to lie, man; I peed off the roof. But honestly what’s that in the name of a good time? I mean, I keep it real... I didn't break a city law. No one can say that." Levine points out that Camp sure did break the law, but he's ready with an airtight defense: "I didn't know I was going to do that, so can you even blame me? So, like, fine — come and arrest me." But before anyone gets too worked up about the ethics of urinating off a roof onto a crowded city, lets all step back and remember that Camp was relieving himself onto the Meatpacking District.





Who?

Well... as long as he didn't pee ON anyone...
I'LL LET YOU FINISH, BUT JESSE CAMP IS THE GREATEST VJ OF ALL TIME.

Hope you didn't just eat lunch.

Ha! "tinypic." indeed!
"lets all step back and remember that Camp was relieving himself onto the Meatpacking District."
Touché!
Case Dismissed.
lame story. you guys are running out of things to write about.
Yup, and you're running out of shit to bitch about.
Oh, oh! I know who he is! I know! He's the guy who did the "Leave Brittney alone!" video on YouTube. I almost didn't recognize the douchey-looking face withot the cheap blonde dye-job.
I'm sorry, but that is incorrect!
Thank you for playing.
I believe that was sarcasm
how in the world does he still get invited to things?
because his behavior will get the events publicity.
I wonder how LA weekly feels about this now?
"All things considered, Camp seems fairly well-adjusted."
I totally thought he was dead

Thank you for not providing streaming video of this.
"streaming video"....heheheh
Hey! Stop ripping on the story, I remember the whole be a MTV VJ contest and his winning it with his "wacky" personality.
oh memories.
For some very disturbing reason, I remember his response to a question about how he felt after winning. "It's better than pushing a broom or being president."
i peed in his hair.
He's still a thing?
Having read the linked page about him, I have a vague memory of him from MTV. They did the "who wants to be a VJ" competition a couple of times, and he won the first one in 1998. As I remember it, it was kind of a surprise that he won because the other finalist was really good; interesting and knowledgeable about music. Of course, that's not so important in the MTV VJ job description, so the irritatingly flamboyant Camp was named the winner.
But someone in the MTV hierarchy saw the error in that, and they actually ended up hiring both of them. The other guy, Dave Holmes, was on MTV for a few years and hosted a handful of shows including 120 Minutes, where his expertise was valuable.
Camp did TRL (the job the contest was hiring for) for about a year and then a talk show on the network but was gone by 2000.
And you still see Dave Holmes doing various cable hosting gigs, while Jesse is...peeing off roofs.
So, he's still alive. I'll be damned. And, he still makes my skin crawl.
i always thought he was functionally retarded.
FWIW, he's a prep school grad and lunacy is his shtick.
My reply was for Zodak #22.
Graduating from a prep school does not in any way mean you're smart.
Yes, I was counting down the seconds until someone posted such a retort. My point was that he's not mentally deficient; it's an act. For the record, I do think he is smart.
It would be a perfect scenario if:
1) His stream hits any or all of the cast of the reality show "The City"
2) Then it hits some type of live electric wire or device, knocking him off the roof.
I've just been partying here and having a good time, peeing off roofs and stuff. I mean I think peeing is what you do when you got to go.. . . I mean, people need to understand that on a human level that's a cool place and a righteous spot and you have to love life and you need to shine because it fuels the love and it's beautiful and let it live.
Mr. Camp, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Nice copy and paste job, there.
your point?
*warning* NSFW.... do we really even think he hit the ground from the roof w/that mini-madoff??
I think not, he's off the hook!
Oh this guy. Yes, I remember him. Okay.
I remember thinking this guy was the stupidest person to ever be on television. But that was before the reality television craze.
I think he was a great VJ and very memorable.
But now, so many years later, I'm wondering whether drugs fried his brain.
Also, what does he live off? trust fund?
When keeping it real...goes wrong.
If he really wants to defecate onto the streets, he should just jump off the roof of the Standard.
Pee-Pee Jesse.
More like Pee-Wee Jesse.
i used to see this big gorilla do laps up and down st marks,puttin in work for that street cred..he was like the walgreens punkrock type..trying to hang out with the stinky stmarks dog hugging summer camp punks..it was pretty funny..
mtv should pay for his relocation. its their fault.
somebody call Dan Cortese
Invisibleman you are so right except he wasn't trying to hang with them he was trying to cop drugs from them.
I was once standing on the cube, I was only 14 and he approached me with one of those crusties and asked if I had any blow. I can't believe people still even acknowledge this attention seeking psycho's existence.
