Amanda Chapel seriously injured in car crash
Amanda Chapel, thought by most to be a fictional/composite character, was, according to a posting on the web site Strumpette, seriously injured in a car crash in Chicago yesterday.
Searches on Google News and the web sites of the Associated Press and the Chicago Tribune do not confirm that the AP released this story.
I believe it is a hoax (if the injury of an ostensibly fictional character can be a hoax.) I am going to go out on a limb and guess that this is the beginnings of a plan to “kill off” Amanda in time for the new year.
Wal-Mart, Sony and others have recently been caught creating fake people to participate in social media. If my guess is right, this is the first serious injury sustained by an invented social media celebrity, and may end up being the first such death as well.
And if my guess is wrong, I wish Amanda good fortune and a speedy recovery.
