This one was the best one ever. How real do you think they are?

Here's the archive.

"I express my feelings with all sorts of women."

i think there was a thread about one of these, some rock band pr guy chump was the focus of the vitriol.

They're probably as real as anything else running around. I used to be amused by the Gawker super meta posts on it, but they've lost their novelty already.

"Favorite book?
I have to work, like, 40 hours a week, so I don’t really have time to read right now."
Oh Noes you have to work a 40 hour week just like the rest of the world.

Why wouldn't they be real? People are hilarious.

Gawker may be on to something, though, when they suspect that they aren't quite random people on the street.

I'm not 100% convinced that they are real ... or that their answers aren't manipulated ...

is this a real person or a joke?

aw crap, should I lock my own thread now?

If it's made up, it's still genius.

Okay, I too, dressed this way as a 9th grader but now I am so so ASHAMED of this. Minus the fur trimmed parka.

I think that's a great outfit! I'd still wear it!

I kinda wonder if they could make anyone on earth seem like a total moron in one of these Look Book profiles.

It seems like the interviewees do a good job of that all by themselves.

These guys made my fridge:

Erick "Socks" Jonies
Derron "Ronney Fresh" Bond

What’s this style?
FLI GUY: Our whole style is basically geek style. Like we got stuffed in a locker because we’re real smart and the lenses of our glasses get knocked out.

How’d you come up with it?
FLI GUY: We were watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Will Smith had some weird style in, like, ’86, ’87. We were like, Damn! We do the same shit just like him! And then we saw how he and Jazzy Jeff had a handshake, so we incorporated that and now we’re the Fli High Fli Guys, a.k.a. the Fresh Princes.

You must get a lot of attention.
RONNEY FRESH: Let me put it this way: The whole world is a fashion show to us. If other people get the attention, that’s no good.

What music are you listening to?
FLI GUY: Jazz. A whole lot of opera. ’Cause it’s real soothing.

I'd like it better if the dude wasn't making the Pharell sign, but originality is a myth, right?
