Yes, Lonelygirl15 is still around. And now, her vlog entries feature blatantly overt product placement advertisements.
I guess it’s official: There’s nothing left to believe in.
I haven’t kept up with LG15 developments since the enti…

I know I already declared the cover blown on the whole lonelygirl15 thang. But that was only the veracity of the premise.
Now, the actual schemers have come forward, confirming that it was a stab at building audience for a proposed movie/series. It …

The lid was bound to be blown off sooner or later. YouTube’s lonelygirl15 apparently has been revealed to be some sort of viral marketing production.
I say “apparently” because, as with all such conspiracy-fueled topics, this could…

but somehow I then got to Robert Madrigal ‘s myspace account and guess what he is an Artist/filmmaker in Southern California. Ran a digital film/television production company-slash-artist-collective for several years, (directing/producing digital shorts/music videos/features/working on projects in various mediums with other artists) until 2002 Storytelling, film & other visual storytelling mediums(comic books, picture books, animation, artistic ends of video games), physics, abstraction and conversation. Human existence is narrative, so I’ve devoted my life to narrative art, which means my life is also my art. I Heart New Scientist magazine,

but madigral is related to Al madrigal who is represented by CAA….who also posted to youtube under ..well you guys can go from there

Lonely girl 15 MAY be done by two teenage kids. That’s entirely possible. But it’s not done by some 16 year old girl and her friend, under the noses of her parents. The lighting rigs alone would spike electrical bills, put out enough heat, and would have been too conspicuous to hide.

Lighting gives it away.

As a follower of the Aleister Crowley’s teachings, I can say that if the mystery religion was Thelema, the whole thing is terribly fake. Thelemic parents, while they might homeschool, wouldn’t be strict at all.

“The word of Sin is Restriction” – Liber AL I:41.

Thelemic parents, the ones I know, at least, pretty much let their kids do whatever they want.

Brilliant. The LG15 vlog makes complete sense now.

1) Her parents are religious and strict, well if they really were, she wouldn’t even have a door in her room(technically). She wouldn’t be allowed to be with Daniel in her room at all (like someone posted before) and she wouldn’t even be allowed to have a computer with internet in her room and a webcam!
2) Her eyes are moving as if she was reading something ( someone posted this before).
3) The lights
4) People say she’s smart, but yea I’m sure she is smart in her own ways, but she reads books before she tries to do something. I mean, a smart person(like truly smart) would know something without having to do some “research”.

I don’t think a TV production is under this, though.

If YouTube hadn’t already jumped the shark with that whole lonelygirl15 imbroglio, I’d say cavorting with Paris Hilton easily put the latest Internet wunderkind airborne.

The video is an example of what the company calls “participatory video ads,…

To paraphrase Master Shake: You’re all yo-yo’s. Shut up, ya yo-yo’s.

of course this alone doesn’t prove too much, but i can’t say i’ve ever seen a scripted video blog before. usually people just rant on instead of reading from a page. i don’t know what their motives are, but as far as i’m concerned it’s a hoax.

In what is certain to ignite a fire in his Wikipedia-hating soul, Costa’s blog is being used as justification for the existence of an article on… Wikipedia. The issue? The great Lonelygirl15 debate. As in active discussion on CT’s original…

The Great LonelyGirl15 Debate. …

Is anyone here familiar with the Lonelygirl15 YouTube debate? (I have a show…

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I kind of enjoyed believing that the saga of lonelygirl15 and danielbeast was the real deal. Having directed a faux documentary myself, I always enjoy seeing people do new things with the form…

But then a part of me doesn’t think she could be a fake because of the first video she posted. I don’t know why, it just seems like because of that maybe she isn’t…but then again, why not? She talks about another user, paytotheorderofofof, in her second video saying that’s why she wanted to join and that makes me believe she isn’t a fake all over again.

It feels like a cycle to me.

mobeck — yes and no. Yeah, I hear you and my bet is that there would be something of a backlash. But chances are the people invloved figure the backlash won’t outweigh the “data capture” (how many hundreds of thousands of people have subscribed to this “Girls” youtube channel by now, I wonder?) adn the backlash won’t outweigh the nimber of people who say, “So what if it was fake. I still found it entertaining. After all, isn’t TV fake?” So agency or producers are obviously saying, well, if we get 100k people who drop off and say it was a lame fake, we’ll still have 500k fans wo we can reach with a marketing message or who we can migrate to a series on MTV where we’ll rach them with an ad message.

That’s my bet. But like I said — I’m a littel jaded from sitting in meetings here in nyc where clients are always chomping at the bit wanting to reach the 18-25 demographic “where they live” and to do it “on their side of the street, with people their age, in the language they speak, with messages that don’t feel like a message.”

The latest idea from one of these geniuses was, “What if we had a series of blogs online, and we didn;t brand a thing about them. The only branding message was the kid who was powering the blog had to casually mention our product once a month, and the blog would be archived by month?”

I don’t know if lonely girl is going to turn out to be a gimmick that launches a TV series, or if it’s a gimmick that is simply developing real estate online that can be sold to advertisisers at teh peak of it’s popularity, or both, but I guarantee you it’s a gimmick.

I’m sure she IS a fake but if it’s some marketing ploy just how would that work? Wouldn’t all her popularity evaporate the instant she revealed herself and started shilling for some product?

A big brand, a small agency, a lot of non-disclosure forms. Mark my words.

… You know how, for some reason people care that that dumb Youtube girl is some sort of viral marketing thing (which you can’t even debate, she’s a terrible actress and I’m pretty sure most home-schooled girls with strict parents don’t have a professional makeup artist coming in and doing them up every day)? Well anyway, wouldn’t it be great if it was a marketing thing by some religious homeschooling organization to try and convince everyone that they’re “just like you and me”?

Or maybe it’s a Snakes on a Plane tie-in. …

Except this one is being hoisted on us by a corporation, which is way worse.
