fine on lonelygirl15

Jon Fine’s column in the Sept 11 issue of Business Week is on Bree & Daniel and the series of lonelygirl15 videos.

Based on comments from media and talent agency executives, the videos appear to be produced by a small coterie of creative types. They have had discussions with at least one major media company. Agents are pursuing them as well.

So wait..they appear to be produced by creative types…yet they’ve had discussions with at least one major media company?  Fine’s being a bit cute, no?  I agree with him, though, that this is the best bit of summer TV around.  The “who is lonelygirl15” saga makes The Lost Experience seem ridiculously contrived and overblown…  Alvar who?
