Ugh.

This is just disturbing. This 14 year old girl starred in an Apple Switch ad, and now has a bunch of fan sites dedicated to her. And I really suspect most of these aren't run by other 14 year olds. The most disturbing (to me anyway.. I would assume others feel the same..) Is the gallery on EllenFeiss.net, which has got pictures of her taken with a spy camera in one of her classes, as well as copies of her first and fifth grade photos..

erm.. invasion of privacy anyone?

Now of course, switching to macs is the reasonable thing to do, and i know several people who've done just that and happen to be spunky young females too.. but you know what? these switchers are all legal :P After seeing the ellen feiss fan mania tho.. I'd be damned if I would do one of those ads if I was.

That is disturbing. And I'm not saying this is what's going on, because honestly I don't know this girl or her family, etc., but c'mon...I dunno, but if I had a young teenage daughter, I would not let her appear as herself (that is her real name, is it not?) on a nationally televised commercial. That seems a bit too sketchy for me in this day and age. And I doubt she could've done that without parental permission...I dunno. Maybe I'm way off-base here, but I've just seen too many people who would do anything to get their kids 15 minutes of fame that they could make a buck off of.
