Wow, coming in cold on this "phenomenon", there was no question in my mind that this wasn't an actress, and I'm usually somewhat dense about that sort of stuff. People are actually fooled by this? She's good, but the editing gives it away big time at the very least. Amateurs don't make that sort of magic. Still, it's six minutes of my life I want back.

Of course. Or it could just be that "lonelygirl15" is "Dawson's Creek" without the WB frog. The bard Stephen Colbert has added two terms to our 21st Century vocabulary:

There's a transcript at http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/transcripts_090106_d.html if anyone's interested. But it's an excellent point that all this line-blurring-of-reality is interesting to note. And what we want to be real, what we want to be fake--and how we want those fake things to resolve!--are all strange new manifestations of the world we live in. Come to think of it, when did pop culture become so much like a Phillip K. Dick story?
