< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence The Mysterious Case of '90 Day Jane'
Allow us to be early in suggesting that 90 Day Jane may be a viral marketing scheme for some amateur auteur's inspiration, that there may be a little evidence to indicate that she's simply a depressed and lonely twenty-something wage slave who finally figured out a way to really get someone to hear her. It's probably secretly sponsored by Zoloft. (Later, we'll also be early in apologizing.) On Jane's first blog post, the ubiquitous anonymous commenter left a short note stating that Jane wasn't from Hollywood, she was from Louisiana. The comment pointed anyone who cared to Void, a weblog kept since 2004 by someone calling herself "Jane Q. Doe." Like 90 Day Jane, Ms. "Doe" is 24. Just like 90 Day Jane, she says her occupation is "drone." Both Janes are dark-haired and well-built. Both Janes seem to have a thing for Fight Club. In her "About Me," 90 Day Jane references the movie in order to explain some of her motivations for suicide: "I mean, as an atheist I feel life has no greater purpose. My generation has had no great depression, no great war ..." Just a few days earlier, Jane Q. Doe wrote about seeing the movie for the first time, saying, "I saw fight club night before last. I was thoroughly amazed. I've avoided that movie since it came out as a 'guy movie' riddled with action, boobies, and guys beating the shit out of other people. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by intellect, insanity, and a HUGE THROBBING COCK." A trip through Louisiana Jane's Void reveals a young woman who often sounds a great deal like 90 Day Jane, in general. It's easy to believe they are one and the same, but there's no concrete proof. Whether Jane meant for her countdown to suicide to be a really big show or not is moot. People are reading and watching.

Posted by: escoBam on February 12, 2008 4:42 PM Advertisement Great. Now there's snot-flecked Mt. Dew on my keyboard because of you people. I know this probably isn't funny at all, but I wasn't prepared for the "lion live on webcam" idea. Brilliant. Posted by: gsundheim on February 12, 2008 5:15 PM I just wish I'd have thought of this first. I could display my surgery-and-age-wracked torso via youtube and garnered sympathy and maybe a Sundance deal. Posted by: azalea on February 12, 2008 8:27 PM Doesnt anyone realize that this is supposed to "end" around April Fool's? Posted by: ladyli1 on February 13, 2008 2:16 AM Good point, ladyli1, but it doesn't matter now. Looks like she freaked and took everything down, including the YouTube video. Posted by: gsundheim on February 13, 2008 8:19 AM Just an aging goth-lookatme-i'msodifferent lady with too much time on her hands and apparently no one who cares about her all that much in person. And I didn't need to see that picture of her, although I do feel better about myself because of it, so thx. Posted by: Meg_Ohhhh on February 13, 2008 10:49 AM !!! ATTENTION, Jane's blog HAS BEEN MOVED TO http://90dayjane.notlong.com

Posted by: papiros3 on February 13, 2008 10:56 AM I've only known a few people to commit suicide. They gave veiled hints, but never created a blog about it so the entire world could watch along. Anyone making that much noise and getting that much attention is not going to commit suicide. I liken the mental capacity of someone willing to take their own life to be the same as those willing to take someone else's life. It takes a great amount of determination or motivation to bring it to fruition. This girl does not seem desperate enough in life to do either of the above. Great story though, and I always like Mr. Huff's writing style and insight. Posted by: jadensmokes on February 13, 2008 12:21 PM Well - she seems to have changed the blog several times since this morning, including removing all previous comments and the "dress" video, and admitting that this was some sort of "art project." Her ramblings on why she did this don't make a lot of sense to me...and the fact that she keeps editing makes me think, I don't know, she is trying to worm out in case people find out who she is (or have already found out...). Posted by: Johnsn on February 13, 2008 3:44 PM For anyone who may read the previous comments - the blog is not still up, it has been removed. Do not follow any links to a "new" or "moved" site, it is apparently a mirror being hosted by a porn site. You will get an error message for the videos that asks you to download a newer version of a video decoder - and you will get nothing but streaming porn. At least that's the rumor! Posted by: Johnsn on February 13, 2008 7:48 PM There was a cock in Fight Club? I don't remember that scene. Must've blocked it out. Posted by: KdNicewanger on February 14, 2008 11:08 AM |
