Okay - my error for assuming that everyone knew.
This is lonelygirl15
The story is (with props to nymag.com)...
It's essentially a vlog on youtube but, it's different. For one, it has millions of views.
In all likelihood, Lonelygirl15 is a fake. She’s a suspiciously photogenic teen (?) who films first-person confessionals in her bedroom. Most of them revolve around her study-buddy Daniel, who has a crush on her. This is all supposedly done without the knowledge of her religious, homeschooling parents. What religion? We don't know. There are clues littered throughout her posts, and this is just one of the threads people have latched on to.
People have started questioning whether she even exists, and for good reason: She’s just a little too charming, her videos a little too well edited, and her story a little too neatly laid out. Viral marketing maybe?
BUT - we just don't know. When the online world thought it had figured out that she was some kind of extreme Christian. A vlog revealed a 'shrine' of sorts to Crowley in the background, and her freaking out cos Daniel was going to light a candle on it.
Interestingly, the domain name for her fan site was registered a month before her first video went up.
No-one is really sure what's going on. It's obvious it's not all legit. But is it a front for some product (no logos appear), a record label (also been debunked), a hugely clever student project, a religious organisation (some say Satanists, some say Scientology, there are arguments for each)... it's hard to tell.
I realise how stupid this sounds - but it just kind of grabs you and pulls you in. It's like webworld's own little mystery.
So, yeah - that's it. I just wanted to know if I was alone in my loserdom...
