The Wall Street Journal reports that the United Nations' antipoverty Millenium Project has enlisted the team behind the Lonelygirl15 YouTube saga to record a PSA for the antipoverty campaign. Which is all fine and good, worthy cause, et cetera — but does an internet celebrity carry any weight when said celebrity is more or less nonexistent?

Also, somewhat unrelated: if the Lonelygirl15 videos are going to continue, can she please stop overplucking the middle of her eyebrows? So much room for improvement there.
