When I first saw this I thought it was funny. The fact that so many people are falling for it has only made it even funnier.
FWIW, Haley Welch might seem dumb as bricks, but she also seems quite sweet - doing charity stuff, keeping her other friend from "that" vid for the ride, etc. As far as people becoming famous for bullshit reasons goes, she seems to be handling it well.
I feel bad for her, honestly. She was open about her sexuality and she's conventionally attractive, so now she has all these leering old men on TV slobbering all over her.
Bill Maher practically tried to talk her into bed on his show with his creepy shit about mentoring her.
Oof. What is up with these creepy, sweaty dudes on talkshows? I know they somewhat reflect the general populace, but to pull shit like this on air is just boggling.
They don't reflect the "general populace" it's just that you kinda have to be an asshole to become famous or you become an asshole afterwards.
