Cristina Rad (15 June 1982) is a Romanian internet personality, outspoken atheist, feminist, freethought advocate and painter. Initially she came to prominence by video blogging on YouTube under the alias ZOMGitsCriss (pronounced "Zoh My God, it's Criss!"), by discussing topics as diverse as violence in Islam, vegetarianism, overpopulation and movies. Her videos are monologues, sometimes having intrapersonal discussions with her alter ego, Rad herself clothed or filmed differently. Her style can be described as intellectual, militant and shows black comedy in the form of apathy and hostility towards other people.
She created an audiobook called The Unreasonable God, discussing her apostasy.[1]
Apart from her activism, Rad is a space art fantasy artist, painting her perception of exosolar perspectives. She auctions her paintings off on eBay.
