meet the HOPA girl



By now you've seen the girl who quit her job via a dry erase board. And by now, you've learned that it was all a hoax. Have you seen the entire back story?

Techcrunch shares the details of the making of HOPA girl, from the planning, Elyse's audition, and the ultimate results. It's not often that you get a real behind the scenes look at the making of a meme, so enjoy. And then stay tuned, as it's always possible that it will take another twist...the producers have scheduled a press event for 10amPDT today.

If nothing else, we can all count on a few good weeks of parody versions. The internet awaits.
