Sham Pain

So, this recent outing of YouTube ingenue LonelyGirl15 as a fake was hardly surprising to many of "her" fans, but between that and the more mean-spirited Craigslist sex ad hoax by Jason Fortuny posing as a submissive female (and then posting the contact info from the respondents), we're a bit disheartened at how suspicious we're becoming of everything.

That other YouTube ingenue-in-the-hood Little Loca? Yeah, she's a fake too. As with LG15, it's hardly surprising, but still... If Loca's a fake, that has to mean that her feud with up-and-coming YouTube starlet Lisa Nova is also a fake, right? Is Lisa Nova fake? Even this girl explaining how to tell a fake YouTube person is, we're pretty sure, a fake. Then we have all the Little Loca impersonators, not to mention Lisa Nova's "Teenie Weenie" persona. All we need now is a Little Loca impersonator doing an impersonation (as LL) of Teenie Weenie, and we'll have a fake of a fake of a fake of a ... where were we?

Oh, who cares? It's more entertaining watching this than reality TV.
