We Are All What's Her Name

Do you remember that whole big dust up a lifetime ago, about a young girl who read about people on the internet who seemed impressive and interesting, and because she knew their names without ever meeting them, and because other people she had never met also talked about them and seemed impressed by them, they appeared to be important figures with positions and influence worth aspiring to?

Then she met them.

It was at this point that she realized that these people were not actually that impressive or interesting and no matter what their influence or position (real or imagined) aspiring to be like or among them suddenly seemed like a big waste of time. Yes, the point was pretty obvious, but she was young and for her, at that moment, it was probably a pretty profound moment of revelation.

The best part about this video is that everyone who watches it can be at that party and know exactly what she felt.

Bonus: As you watch, see if you can tell who really means it.

P.S. I am sorry that I missed the benefit.
