LonelyGirl15: True Teen Angst Or A Fake?

 WUSA Staff     4 years ago

She calls herself "Lonelygirl15" and she's getting millions of Internet hits a day. But no one knows who or where she is.

No one seems to know her real name or where she's from but online she does have a loyal following among fans who say they can identify with her teenage angst ... and skeptics who are questioning ... is she for real?

We'll let you be the judge on whether Lonelygirl 15 is truly a lonely girl who likes to talk about boys and her strict parents ... or a marketing tool that has yet to be revealed.

A lot of people point to her perfectly made room that some say looks like a set. Others point to her well-edited montage sequences, and the fact that her online name is already copyrighted.

Since June, her posts have regularly made it to the top of Youtube.com?s most viewed list. But her growing audience has its share of skeptics.

If it's a marketing tool, how many will be fooled?
