This is either a play on the fact that most celebrities don’t know shit about the products they are endorsing…or James Franco just being stoner balonered and trying to make a commercial.  Both work.

When 6-year-old Elena Desserich new she was going to die from pediatric brain cancer, she started writing notes to her younger sister Grace so that she’d know something about her big sister after she was gone.  What Elena’s parent’s didn’t realize was that Elena was leaving notes for them as well, and started finding them everywhere after she passed.  From WLWT:

“They told us at the very beginning that she had 135 days to live,” Keith Desserich said.

Though her parents didn’t want her to know the severity of her cancer, they feel that she must have known what was happening. The tumor slowly took away her ability to talk.

But Elena was still able to write.

“That was her way to letting us know everything would be OK,” Brooke Desserich said.

“We started to pull out notes and they would be in between CDs or between books on our bookshelf,” Keith Desserich said.

This picture started making its rounds on the web a couple months leading up to the release of Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are.  It was pretty much affixed to any blog post about the movie on almost all the blogs I read (and I read a lot of blogs).  Until now, I think everyone assumed this was just another hot chick picture that got some serious juice due to its relevance to one of the most hyped movies of the year.  Well, The Chive did some investigating and it turns out this chick is an actual person who enjoys being photographed for your enjoyment.

Investigatory Journalism at its finest.
