Lonelygirl15: It's fake, but not as fake as you think

The Los Angeles TImes has a lengthy article on the people behind the lonelygirl15 YouTube phenomenon. Turns out it's not the work of viral marketers but of, gasp, aspiring filmmakers, specifically "Miles Beckett, 28, a Web-obsessed medical school dropout; Mesh Flinders, 26, a screenwriter; and Greg Goodfried, a 27-year-old lawyer."

Where does lonelygirl15 go from here? To her own website, where the housebound adventures will continue. In her latest, she makes lemonade. But is it satanic lemonade?
