sub4hire -> The Passing of Lonelygirl15 (8/10/2007 2:48:53 PM)

Lonelygirl15, face of Web 2.0, dies at 17
Once isolated YouTube star meets fate surrounded by friends and fans.
Lonelygirl15, a cyberspace superstar also know by the offline moniker “Bree Avery” died under mysterious circumstances in a nondescript medical facility Aug. 3 in or around Santa Monica, Calif. while participating (possibly against her will) in some vaguely explained cult ritual involving DNA or something. She was 17 … or there abouts.
While there is no official coroner’s report, the smart money is on exsanguination. This is evidenced in a video taken by friends who watched as members of the evil secret society, “The Order,” drained lonelygirl’s rarified blood, transfusing it into their leader.

It's interesting in that right on the very same page is a link to an MSNBC video news article in 2006 that indicates that Lonelygirl15 was actually a 19 year old actress hired to record the blog.  Makes it kinda hard for her to die at 17.

If I recall correctly, and I usually do...She was the brainchild of a few folks from an ad firm.

Irony is....

... the webpage refusing to display, when I click the link.

Yeah, but they just killed off the character, not the actress who played her. Sorta fitting way to go all things considered.

The article is a spoof.

Yep, that is exactly correct.
