The "Hawk Tuah Girl" finds representation

[FilmBuff]

Heaven help me, I don't have anything personal against "Hawk Tuah Girl," I'm sure she's a perfectly nice young lady.

But it will never cease to amaze me the extent to which just saying something silly or stupid on a video that goes viral can turn virtually any person into an instant overnight celebrity.

In the case of Hailey Welch, this means finding representation and launching her own social media channels (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/hawk-tuah-girl-hailey-welch-1235937553/) - and after that, who knows? Maybe Hollywood or Washington DC.

Anything goes these days....

Film Buff treats this website like his/her/they/them blog. His pronouns are hawk/tuah, actually.

I feel this thread is one that should be brought to moderator attention as a PERFECT example of something I initiated a discussion about earlier, that being the issue of failed topics and poorly constructed initial comments which don't invite deeper discussion.

Moderators please note that this topic and initial commentator is guilty of NONE of that, and has constructed a superb opener in every way.

He could have simply posted a picture of the pretty blond in question and a link, but instead, he invited a conversation about the very nature of fame and its worth.

A glorious example of best practice in starting a good conversation on a social media site.

Now onto the topic itself.

This ratchet skank has no business becoming famous, as she has done absolutely NONE of the work.

By contrast, the Queen of Chaos has been arrested ELEVEN times (that we know of) for everything from car to gun theft.

Rayanna did the WORK to gain her lunatic reputation, and deserves all the credit in the world.

If you want fame, walk the walk and sing the song.

This got kinda ugly rather quick, and since there isn't a lot to say about it anyway, I'm going to close this rather than let it escalate further.
