      This is why people step on the train of you tube. They want to make something out of them self by stepping out into the world and I mean the whole wide world. Maybe they think something bigger and better will come out of the video or posting.

  • So today, two weeks after the revelation that the show is fictional, Flinders is filming the 45th two-minute installment of the series and pushing into new territory. What began as a quirky story about a religious girl fighting with her strict parents and her boyfriend is poised to break out of the bedroom and into a full-blown international thriller.
