This girl is good. She is so slick she was able to smooth my feathers with that first e-mail. So contrite! But the fact that she's still playing the fake cancer card proves that she will always be the hipster grifter! I envision a sensational TV Movie about her deviant behavior. For some strange reason, I think it might be similar to this film:

Uh, yeah.

With all the fascinated coverage she's getting here, are people still wondering why she got over so hard?

Any chance on a moratorium for the weekend?

I mean, seriously. I'm getting to the point where I'd prefer more John Fitzgerald Page.

I'm actually sort of worried that she might off herself at this point. She's shown a willingness to slash-and-burn her way through all manner of relationships and funding to get where she wants to go. A nonscientific and speculative rule of thumb that I believe is that people willing to imply fake fatal circumstances aren't far from making it real.

@ADismalScience: If my years of Asian snuff films and dressing up like General MacArthur have taught me anything, it's that Koreans are hard to kill. I am really not concerned for her. Most of them are part cockroach anyway which means she just needs some spam and quality time under Mt Prion's fridge.

@ADismalScience: I think it's far more likely that she's planning on faking her own death.

Amidst a swirl of speculation that she died of cancer/offed herself, she'll slip away in the middle of the night, re-surfacing in a few months time to prey on a new batch of suckers in Austin or LA.

Hey Kari. Get a lawyer. Mark Geragos perhaps. Cut a deal for the screen rights to your story. Pay back EVERYONE. Turn yourself in to the police. Serve your time. Don't miss your moment. Your 15 minute clock is ticking.

You have to check out the Facebook groups on her. This andrew Wallce has the tagline for her lifestory: Kari Ferrell - Because Stealing Hearts Isn't A Crime.

I see a whole line of books, graphic novels, animated shorts, biopics, live action figures, etc., coming out. She could be a star, and pay everyone back, if only she could get a little money together to get all this going. I'd like to help her out in that regard - yes, she needs help, but I think mostly what she needs is purpose, a goal. I know times are tough, but I think if we all pitched in a little it would be a great way to say, Hey, we care, and to feel good about doing our little bit to help humanity even in trying times. So, I'm only asking for what you can give, whatever's in your pocket right now. Send me a message and I'll send you my paypal account details.

Thanks for caring. This is going to be great!

Until she actually turns herself into the authorities I'm just going to assume she's not one tiny bit sorry and is still spreading her hipster cancer in new territories.

@Gunsetpark: You're a socialist; a dirty, dirty socialist who just wants to spread his wealth around, via Gripster up there.

No, actually, it's what gals do all the time - you want to tame someone, and make that someone yours. Good luck!

@Gunsetpark: Because sometimes it's appealing to go into a relationship knowing ahead of time that you'll be deceived.

It eliminates the possibility of encountering horrifying revelations later on. And isn't that what most of us are afraid of?
