Intro
Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
So, it turns out that lonelygirl15 is an actress from New Zealand. Mmm.
Bloody Kiwis aye, you can’t trust any of them. And in other groundbreaking events, I bought some water from the supermarket the other day.
Bottled water.
And no, bottle isn’t an English loanword that has changed its meaning in Japanese.
In Japanese can is カンand bottle is 瓶 or ボトル.
So I guess the people making this are just a bit confused.
So today’s questionanswer is just for you.
STICK NEWS
Kia Ora. In Stick News today, the true identity of lonelygirl15 has been revealed. She is a 19-year-old actress from New Zealand.
A few months ago a girl started making video blogs. She said her name was Bree, she was 16 and she was homeschooled.
Her videos became very popular. Thousands of people watched them, subscribed to her YouTube channel and commented on the videos.
Many people believed what she said and wrote encouraging comments. Others questioned whether she was telling the truth.
It has now been revealed that lonelygirl wasn’t so lonely after all. She is a 19-year-old actress from New Zealand. And all of her video blogs were scripted.
The revelations that lonelygirl15 is indeed fake have prompted an outpouring of anger, annoyance, praise and indifference.
And that was Stick News for Thursday the 14th of September.
Kia Ora.
