I've never actually written a blog before, so this is a new experience for me. I have to admit, I'm a bit apprehensive about this thing. I can only hope that this provides an effective means of getting my ideas out there. Feedback will be appreciated!
Now where to begin...
I decided to watch a view episodes of LonelyGirl15 on YouTube to get a better feel for what the show was all about.
I was kinda shocked to see that the first video clip had over 3500 comments (a bit much for such a short vid). I found the clip to be pretty amusing, especially the random Psycho music in the middle, but was a little confused as to why the series became so popular in the first place. Any ideas? I guess each episode provides a realistic glimpse into another person's life; however, I was extremely surprised when I read that the girl in the clip was only acting the part. The entire show was a hoax! I wonder if the fact that all of the depicted events were fictional added to its popularity. There are so many video diaries online of genuine people talking about factual experiences occuring in their lives. Why haven't these vloggers gained some fame as well?
