| Lonelygirl15 is great. She would be perfect for my ex-boyfriend. :) by Conna on 2006-07-11 16:39:41 Conna, she might be perfect for your ex... if she existed. "Lonelygirl15" is a character - very well played by the actress calling herself Bree. Think about it people. This is a joke, albeit a very good one. by Janice D. on 2006-07-17 02:15:19 Hey lg, you rock... by Me on 2006-07-26 23:01:40 If longelygirl15 is afake she is only a reflection of the actress. A teenaged girl acting infront of her video camera without a script is only expressing her feelings, and herself. I dont care if this is acting, we dont complain that soaps are fake do we? I like the videos this woman's posts. If its acting, its good acting and i love it. And i feel i can get to know someone a little better by watching their heart and soul act, not their script. by Justin Gale on 2006-08-20 20:58:12 Bravo. That reminded me of The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It's turtles all the way down. I love that idea. :D PS: It never entered my mind as being anything but satire! This is just too -rich- and... fucking hilarious. Real people are IDIOTS. Not nearly as awesome. by uberkibbles on 2006-09-09 18:36:44 yeeeeah the first hint that this was fake: she talks about how strict her parents are with her... but when her MALE friend comes over...he can lay all up in her room with the door shut?... strict parents don't allow that type of thing. she's not that great an actress, but the vids are semi-entertaining when you're drinkin. the editing is rockin'. by Cassie on 2006-09-13 21:21:53 dude, you dont need to tell ppl its a fake, its perfectly obvious, but its still very well done and i love watching it, as a novel. dont just say its a fake like they didnt know, only cause you discovered it, as if showing that you are smart. I think the actress is doing an awesome job and she has a huge charm. Good luck and keep up the good work, try to get this on TV. by bolt on 2006-09-21 19:16:11 Now I'm really freaked out what is the ground that the turtle is standing on. by Jeff on 2006-09-28 21:37:42 These fake comments are getting annoying. Sure, she's an actress. That didn't stop me from watching it. It's better then alot of shows on TV. by Sammy on 2006-10-03 17:20:22 you have great legs baby;) by jason on 2006-10-06 13:11:47 i totally agree with that gurl sammy i mean this is alot better than alot of tv shows and i do like it even though shes acting its still good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by whitney on 2006-10-12 17:24:42 I think all of this is pretty cool. I've heard people say she's a fake, but that's just cause they wish they were her. I might make my own online diary type thing! It probably won't be videos...even though that would be fun :) by Cora on 2006-10-14 08:35:50 If you shaved her head she'd look like a male cancer patient who just went through kemo. by Kristina on 2006-10-18 15:24:39 SOOOO Cute. by Lurker on 2006-10-21 15:26:34 this is totally not fake. although this may seem a little farfetchrd, i really like this online diary. i feel like i am going to look on this site every chance i get to get the updates on lonely girl's life. idiscovered you thes afternoon, and i'm already addicted. you are great by mariah on 2006-10-27 19:44:49 Este sitio web es tan bacán!!

Re-watching these. They make me smile :) by pontafanta on 2008-01-02 07:36:29 "And Sniiffing A TWINKIe in central park!!!" My fav Bree Quote! by mrs.creepysteve on 2008-01-28 16:17:25 that's my favorite part on A Brief History Of Time too! And that's one of the very few books I've read... what are the odds of that! by darkmatter on 2008-02-20 03:47:03 I found this explanation for the "turtles all the way down" on another website: The turtle anecdote has a special meaning to anthropologists. Clifford Geertz uses one version of the story to illustrate a point about both culture and anthropology in his classic essay on thick description. He writes, There is an Indian story--at least I heard it as an Indian story --about an Englishman who, having been told that the world rested on a platform which rested on the back of an elephant which rested in turn on the back of a turtle, asked (perhaps he was an ethnographer; it is the way they behave), what did the turtle rest on? Another turtle. And that turtle? "Ah, Sahib, after that it is turtles all the way down. (Geertz 1973) The idea here is that culture is the turtles. When the anthropologist tries to explain a particular belief or value or practice, what she does is reveal a turtle--another belief or value or practice. Beneath that second turtle is third belief or value or practice, and then another, ad infinitum. This isn't to say that interpreting a bit of culture is futile. Indeed, Geertz believes that such interpretation is the heart of the anthropological enterprise. However, the task will never be complete, and an ethnographer will never be able to capture all the meanings involved in a particular bit of culture. Instead, the best she can hope to do is to understand as much as she can about the various ways that belief or value or practice fits into its many contexts. Culture constantly references and builds upon culture. Most cultural anthropologists (at least in the US) are familiar with this essay, and many have since said or written "turtles all the way down" to express what is now an article of dogma among much of the profession. While an anthropologist can certainly find an important and more or less accurate interpretation of what a bit of culture means, that interpretation will never be complete. There is always room for reinterpretation, argument, and more turtles. The importance of the turtles to contemporary anthropology is evident in the suspicion of many cultural anthropologists toward sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, cruder forms of economic determinism, and other mechanistic explanations for bits of culture. Simply put, these modes of explanation tend to invoke one and only one turtle, not leaving any room for subsequent reptiles. by jamesdseals on 2008-02-23 21:29:48 The turtle story is from the very first sentence of the first chapter of "A Brief History of Time." Not much of an attention span there, eh Creators? (Just messing with you.) by the grim meeper on 2008-08-02 08:26:44 |
