I'm interested in the story behind the fascination and promotion of this girl's videos on youtube:

Is a certain forum responsible for this or what? The number of views is outrageous! And I've seen her videos in the "Top Videos" or "Most Popular" on a number of occassions....

Because of the comic value, I'd imagine. I thought it was funny, even if it has a somber background

People like to give fame to people who really suck at what they're trying to do just so they can laugh at them more.

I see what you mean...but it still requires a lot of coordination among people. There has to be a "certain forum" that is behind the promotion of this person.... Some of the comments on her videos are really brutal (though some are pretty funny as well)

Most likely the site that can't be named.

It's also quite obvious why it would go viral.
