LOS ANGELES -- The creators behind the Internet video mystery teen Lonelygirl15 have revealed themselves and want their fans to know they are not a front for a big Hollywood studio marketing some upcoming film.

Instead, the three friends launched the adventures of the doe-eyed, 16-year-old homeschooled "Bree" as an experiment in storytelling that they intend to continue on their own Web site that was launched Tuesday.

I watch stuff on YouTube all the time--but things I'm looking for--a specific music video, or a clip from a movie.

I've never even heard of this.

I guess I'm just too old.

I usually don't watch these specific set of videos, but they are always on the top rated or most viewed. So I guess if you don't go to that part you wouldn't see it. I tin to randomly play videos that I find on the lefthand side column of the video I just watched.
