I became aware of this via a link in Turq's sig.
At first I laughed, but now I am all kind of horrified, and shit.

The remixes with Billy Mays overdubs are great, in plenty on Youtube....as the video gradually went viral, the internet buzzards came out. They began posting Jessica's phone number, home address and linking her various social networking accounts. Assholes spammed her MySpace and Facebook pages. Dickheads made fake pizza deliveries to her home. There were even message boards featuring categories titled "How to Troll Jessi."
It only got worse when Jessica posted another video, this time crying and clearly traumatized by the attacks (see below). Nor did it help when her dad jumped into the video, threatening his daughter's tormentors and yelling at the camera.
At one point, the harassment got so bad that police placed Jessica in protective custody. People were calling her home pretending to be cops and social services workers. Death threats also came raining in.
State police are now investigating the bullying, but they also believe Jessica should be sent to a mental health facility for an evaluation over suicidal tendencies.
