Christian Rudder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Rudder is an American musician, humorist, and entrepreneur. From 1999-2002, he wrote humorous diary-like articles for the website, TheSpark.com. His projects included the Stinky Feet Project, the Date-My-Sister Project, & the Fat Project, in addition to a host of shorter pieces. Many of his writings have been retained on his personal site, crudder.com.

Christian's antics in the projects ranged from giving himself athlete's foot, to setting up his friends to date his sister, Melissa, to documenting two fit people's attempt to gain 30 pounds in 30 days.

Christian, along with the founders of TheSpark.com - Sam Yagan, Chris Coyne, and Max Krohn - later went on to found OkCupid, a dating website that has its roots in the popular tests featured on TheSpark.

Christian also plays guitar for indie band Bishop Allen and starred in Andrew Bujalski's 2002 film, Funny Ha Ha.
