I just was reading about Lonely girl and the impact she had on you tube. This idea that youtube is a new medium for this type of entertainment is a growing idea. Lonely Girl was an interactive video blog that allowed her viewers to respond to waht was thought to be a sixteen year old girl.
Is this ethical? I feel this is an ethical practice and may be the new form of entertainment for future generations. Not everything you see is real and nothing is more true then that for the internet. EWnjoy it for enjoyment sake and not try and make every show a “true” reality show.
