This is how everything got started.

I found a link on a blog site talking about the Ellen Feiss ad, and how it seemed as if she was stoned.
I then watched the ad, and showed it to my friend Rick, we laughed and good times were had by all. This is the conversation that ensued:

Rick: i just searched for her name on google she is the talk of the blog world
Brandon Caballero: her last name sounds like heidi fleiss the prostitute
Rick: yea i thought about that
Rick: you need to set up a "I LOVE YOU ELLEN" Page and get her to email you
Brandon Caballero: haha yea.
Brandon Caballero: maybe i will get sued by apple, this will make me famous
Rick: how could you get sued
Brandon Caballero: using images from the video
Rick: that would be funny if you had an image gallery
Rick: with like 50 images all from that video
Brandon Caballero: say no more
Brandon Caballero: it will be done
Rick: dood you have limited web space
Brandon Caballero: i have this friday off from school and work
Rick: if you make the 50 images i can host them for you if you start running low on bandwith
Rick: but you will need to thumb nail them so not to rape my bandwith
Rick: you need to get something up before the joke gets old
Brandon Caballero: yea i'm posting it today
Rick: thats good
Brandon Caballero: ellenfeiss.net
Rick: nice
Rick: classy
Brandon Caballero: i'm not done yet
Brandon Caballero: first i have to send a few anonymous emails to some popular message boards to get it on the map
Rick: good plan
Brandon Caballero: but i need to use a different email, one that doesnt have my name
Rick: i think i need to start stealing silverware from resturants for my apartment
Brandon Caballero: now you're talking like me

Someone must have read the right message board. I get an email from Leander Kahney of Wired.com Magzine, requesting an interview. I answer a few questions about the site and how it got startetd.

Wired.com posts the article, we go from 5 hits a day to around a couple thousand. Moments later the site goes down, cause we over used our bandwidth.

Susan Carpenter from LaTimes.com send me an email for a phone interview.

I get an email from Andy Bowers of National Public Radio for a phone interview. Hours later we do an interview over the phone. My mom started yelling at me to wash the dishes, so I told her I was talking to a news reporter, she left me alone for a while.

I've gotten a few people claiming to be Ellen Feiss, yet none are available to provide me with proof.
