Youtubeの神様Lonelygirl14

前回の記事でYoutubeというビデオ共有サイトを紹介しました。現在Youtubeでも話題になっているLoneligirl15について説明します。
　Lonelygirl15というのは、建前としては、16歳のアメリカ人の少女のオンライン・ビデオ日記です。彼女は二日に1回というペースで、自分の生活や両親の厳しさや友人とのけんかなどについて5分ぐらいのビデオを掲載しています。主人公のLonelygirl15の名前は、「（15歳の？）寂しい女性」という意味で、唯一の度も立ちである男性とは男女関係がないことで、Youtubeのマドンナとして非常に有名になりました。200万人の若者が彼女のビデオを（無料）購読しています。それが今週、彼女の日記が実は一種の映画で、彼女は実は女優だということが判明されました。Lonelygirl１５の任期ぶりや、女優なのか本物なのかという話題や最期の暴露はＣＮＮやMTVなどの一般のマスコミにも取材されて世界的なネット話題となりました。
　オンラインで閲覧でき、とてもよい勉強になるかと思いますので、　左上がたた一例であるLonelygirl15のビデオをお薦めします。日本語での私のLonelygirlビデオ解説もご覧になってください。

Poor Pluto

For today's 'Proving science wrong' (a common theme in lonelygirl15's videos), I turned Daniel into a pair of scissors. I just decided I need a pair of scissors more than I needed someone reading on my bed (in previous videos Daniel is often seen lying on lonelygirl15's bed in the background).

Remember these? Well it is time to snip off pluto.

Being half the size of Antartica just couldn't have helped. And then there was the question of all that unorthodox (irregular, strange) orbiting.

[Squeaking noise as lonelygirl15 tells Pluto it is a naughty (bad) planet]

Pluto is no longer a planet.
Eris, Xena, Ub313, these are Pluto's new friends.

Did I sound like the kids that you want to eat lunch with?

No way!

For today, instead of 'Proving Science Wrong' we're gonna (going to) help Pluto adjust to his new peer group.

First thing you gonna (going to) have to deal with is rings. I know that a few of your old friends had them, Saturn, Jupiter..

But you're going to have to accept that these new friends of yours,

Don't..

have...

Rings!

As you probably know, I've been homeschooled most of my life and then I went to high school.

During my first week there I had this teacher that I really liked, and he was really into stars, and I love stars. So I asked a lot of questions.

So pretty soon kids started saying that I thought I was sooo (so) smart (clever) or something. And I told myself that I didn't care and...

Huh, then they started say that I was from a star. I kept asking questions.

So finally they stopped calling me "star-girl" and they stopped saying that they thought that I was smart, and instead they started saying that I was [pause] doing something (I.e. having a sexual relationship) with my teacher. And that's when I stopped asking questions about stars.
