LonelyGirl15 For Real?
The LA Times just released an interesting article speculating on whether the latest YouTube celeb, LonelyGirl15 is real or a high budget hollywood hoax meant to promote a possible movie. LonelyGirl15, who goes by the name Bree has been adding new YouTube videos weekly since June, each video receiving an average 200,000 views . Critics say that the editing is just way too good to be done by a 16 year old girl. I've watched several of LonelyGirl15's videos and I definitely think they are way too professional to be real. The soundtracks are perfect and the editing is way too good to be real. Also the background looks like the set of some sitcom, rarely changing at all. If this is a ploy by some professional studio to make a very successful film campaign, then kudos to a job well done!
Update: LonelyGirl15 is definitely a fake. You can read the investigation details here and here. Thanks goodness for google cache!
