A mysterious weblog purporting to be the journal of an anonymous heiress on the run from her wealthy family appears to be a hoax. But the site and offline elements supporting it are so elaborate and so well executed that many bloggers suspect the whole thing just might be true.

Yet another shining example of The Internet Gullibility Syndrome. A malaise that strikes even the usually-intelligent into believing anything they read online. The primary indicator of this syndrome is demonstrated by unquestioning acceptance of the five following statements:

  1. If you forward an e-mail, Bill Gates will send you money;
  2. If you *don't* forward an e-mail, a stricken child won't get his dying wish;
  3. Watch out for a certain e-mail -- it will destroy your hard drive and, quite possibly, your entire life;
  4. Democrats really have your best interests at heart; and
  5. I'm a sexy, voluptuous, 18-year-old redhead who wants to jump your pasty-white-geek bones.

The only treatment for this disorder is to unplug your computer, store it in a closet, and get a freakin' life!

-Jay

LOL! Some people couldn't do that if they sold Clue Juice at Wal-Mart.
