- dschreib, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45This is a viral marketing campaign. Signs have gone up in LA as well. http://boifromtroy.com/?p=5622...some sort of movie or book, or maybe a bank ("our joint account"
- canadianguy33, on 10/12/2007, -16/+57It's funny but I wouldn't say 'she rocks'. I'd say that she's a nut job.
From the article:
"So for the next two weeks, starting with today, I will exact revenge on my whoring husband. And who knows what a disparaged woman with lots of resources at her disposal might do?! It’s going to be 14 days of vengeance. 14 days of unbridled revenge. 14 days of Steven looking over his back to see what’s coming next." - RaistlinMajere, on 10/12/2007, -16/+36Men, it's time to stick together and mod these bitches down. Cheers.
- KingAdrock, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24If she really wanted to take a piece out of this guy -- she'd use a last name or pictures. I'm thinking this is some kind of viral campaign.
- smedrick, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17I figured as much. The rest of her blog looks so fake. She conveniently started a blog about her horrible sex life and soon finds out her husband is cheating on her...yeah right.
- mstar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15This is a fraud. Virial marketing, linked to Court TV
http://www.curbed.com/archives/2006/07/18/*****.php - masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I marked it as inaccurate. I suggest everyone else do the same if that's the case.
- jrizzo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Doe this look photoshoped to anyone else? I want to say that its not, but something about the text looks wrong...
- twollamalove, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10her blog reads like all the super hot chicks' profiles when they add me on myspace...
- Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Just read the blog- the wording is not that of a woman scorned, but that of a viral marketing campaign.
I didn't even read the comments here, and I predicted it was something along the lines of Ilovebees.
~Soniti - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Guys, it's a real billboard, but it's not a real person. This is part of a viral marketing campaign. http://boifromtroy.com/?p=5622...some

http://gawker.com/news/advertising/spurned-wife-more-likely-26yearold-hipster-ad%20-*****-who-thinks-hes-just-so-clever-187884.php - starman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Marked as lame. It's an ad.
Think about it...you see the kind of building it's on? Now, do you really think that anyone with enough money to put up a billboard would put it THERE? - gmurray, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I think this is viral marketing. This kind of marketing loves digg. :(
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5VIRAL MARKETING ALERT..........VIRAL MARKETING ALERT
Come on, people who believe it. This has got to be viral. I mean, look how much buzz it has generated already.
Also, marketing people can post on forums, too, just like regular human beings - hockeysk8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Read "her" whole blog (which I unfortunately did) and you will start to feel that something is amiss. It is most definitely fake. The foreshadowing is too perfect - its a professional romance novelist or something hired for whomever's add campaign.
- stevenbao, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3My last word:
Not Photoshopped, for the reason we have multiple sources:
http://boifromtroy.com/?p=5622
http://thatgirlemily.blogspot.com/
http://www.curbed.com/archives/2006/07/17/weird_billboard_roundup.php
The problem is, they are all ALL DIFFERENT SOURCES. Meaning they are in different locations. She states that she put it where his co-workers and etc. could see them, but in different locations? If she put them in multiple places, she would say so (seeing how detailed the posts are.) I also highly doubt that there are three (or more) billboards in the same vincinity as where she put it.
So multiple people have seen this billboard in multiple places, then... I say Viral Marketing.
Probably to add to the effect, here is a forum post done by "Emily": http://talk.sheknows.com/showthread.php?t=466369
Welcome to Viral Marketing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing , guys.
I found more: http://gawker.com/news/advertising/spurned-wife-more-likely-26yearold-hipster-ad%20-*****-who-thinks-hes-just-so-clever-187884.php - Loonacy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Everything's caught on tape."
Mirror? - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4That exact same text is posted in a number of different forums.
- WxChemNerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Just because it's a marketing campaign doesn't give you license to be a douchebag.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4If you look at it closer, it doesn't look so much like a regular billboard, but more like a banner (you can see the strings holding it up), which could explain the transparency...
- Sun.Surfin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And make you look like an idiot? O_o
- wtweber, on 10/12/2007, -14/+15"It irks me that she isn't showing him the same courtesy" I'm not sure what you think courtesy is. I don't think courtesy is lying, cheating, and sneaking around behind her back. The courteous thing to do would have been to end the marriage then start a new relationship. He deserves everything he is getting.
- Nilsneo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its a viral campaign, "EMILY" has posted in loads of forums and there are at least two posters, one in New York and one in L.A.

http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Look_likes_Emily_is_Angry_with_Steve._Ouch!_That_hurts! - snorkle256, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I agree with the tv show assement of the situation. IIRC, 14 episodes is enough for a season of shows, aired once a week in a prime time spot. No?
- starman, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6That was my first thought. The lighting on it is way off.
- webpoet73, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Fake or not... it is entertaining.
- ReggieUW, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Definitely BS, no doubt about it.
- Foenetik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4it's definately an ad,the same billboard would'nt be up in LA if not,maybe washington mutual or some crap like that.meh
- jayhawk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2if you read the whole blog, it sounds like a bad script for soap opera . . . very fake. waste of time.
- idiotsavant, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3curbed.com weighs in. apparently, this is a gimmick from Court TV.
website's down though. - mikesherov, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://thatgirlemily.blogspot.com/2006/07/i-guess-i-never-mentioned-why-i.html
this is the entry that makes it a definite fake. so much foreshadowing? - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://www.blogger.com/profile/26805443

This is NOT true.
This is a marketing campaign!!!!
Bury this stupid *****... - jarbro, on 07/23/2009, -2/+3and this...

dated before she found out from the PI - uptown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Sounds like the "I Hate Steven Singer" campaign:
http://www.jckgroup.com/article/CA6293721.html - wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Too bad, this was dishy, but clearly a fake. I'm only mildly curious what this is a campaign for? Wine? (she mentioned Napa). A movie? A book? Pr0n?
I was very suspicous when there are so few postings on the blog, and a completely empty profile. Also, note this billboard is up in at least 3 cities; New York, LA, and Houston. - aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Obviously viral. 'she' has just enough previous posts to make it look like this blog existed before he started cheating, (but no more than one week old) the only people mentioned in it is the husband and the woman she cheated with. Hell, if this thing started with "so my husband is cheating on me so i started a blog" I would beilive it more than starting a blog a week ago, then having something interesting to showcase on it.
How annoying. Marked as Spam. - hifiDesign, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Read her previous posts; she's madly in love with the guy, yadda yadda... July 9th, everything's cool, then yesterday she flips with the billboard thing, with no mention of the affair in between. How odd is that? My vote is for viral marketing of some kind. Who knows what they're selling, but if she were consistent with her neurotic behavior, we wouldn't have seen a gap in her posts.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@starquake
How many people get married and share their account with a person because they trust them implicitly? Just because you trust them when you get married doesn't mean people don't change. They do. Its better to be prepared for the future than to be screwed later.
and, @crad14
Your right, if it was true then he should have just DTB. But he didn't that still wouldn't justify anyone taking your money. Even if it is fake, I honestly can see some women today doing something like that because women, generally, not all there are always exceptions to the rule, are sneaky conniving bitches who marry a guy then just expect to not have to give anything in return and the man should be the only one to compromise on any situation.
Don't get married, there's no benefit for men it it anywhere. All you get when you get married is a legal obligation to support her when she cheats on you or won't live up to her wifely duties and you have to get it someplace else. - gwalbridge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I wonder how many Stevens and Emilys will have their relationship ruined because of this? Sorta reminds me of Dave Chappelle's "Zapped" where the wife plays a cruel joke by faking a cheat situation, but the husband comes out and admits he's been banging the secretary for years. Oops.
- Slipperymint, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Marked as lame... Obviously fake. The sheer amount of foreshadowing in the previous blog entries made me gag...
- isthisnametaken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2definetly an add campaign. Probably for a new sitcom this fall or something
- Scooley01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Damn, it sucks that it's fake. What would REALLY rock is if it was real, but she was mistaken, and he wasn't cheating :D
- xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Is this Viral marketing or is it not? Apparently every post she made on July 12th asked about advice on having children however every single post she made was unanswered. Just today I logged on to womansavers.com where she had a post up. She was online. That forum is about rating and displaying cheaters.
I think it's viral. - russryba, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Come on, it's an Ad campian. This banner appears in multiple locations across the country at the same time. Some advertisers will get some interesting stats/data of how putting up an add correlates directly to visitors to a website from statcounter.com and sitemeter.com.
Her wonderful post was dated one week before this ad went up. The account was created the date this was posted. July 7, post sappy best friend Laura story, next day sign up and with random forum account post about wanting kids, few hours later, Laura's cheating on me. Within a week, she found out and paid for and got advertising in place across the country, and somehow plans to keep posting stuff about it online for 14 days. A wife's vengence for being cheated on will be gone in 2 weeks... right.
>> This ***** is todays Chain Letter. - toddomatic, on 05/20/2008, -4/+4My first thought was that this was a marketing campaign... Along the lines of the "TRADE BARRY" billboard that went up in front of the Giants stadium earlier this year. http://wcco.com/watercooler/local_story_095125612.html
- domr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Erm... what aspect of "not real" is it you don't understand?
It's an ad campaign dreamt up by an ad agency. Nothing more. - embusa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I gotta say.. the blog is WAY too convienent. How this got dugged so quickly onto the frontpage is beyond me.
