Lonelygirl15 wasn't alone

The increasing power of YouTube once again flexes it's muscles - this time Lonelygirl15 gets a mention on CNN. Well, she would if she was really real.

It turns out that this was a couple of guys (well 3) writing scripts for an actress, and then filming it and posting it up to YouTube. It got a pretty incredible following (as you'll know if you've ever checked out the site - her/their videos were normally up on the front pages of popularity).

Although initially some people were a bit pissed off that they had been duped, the number of subscribers has gone up in the last couple of days, so guess being fake can make you real.

Her page is here if you're interested.
