Over the last two days, Jenny DryErase (along with the Slater, the Jetblue flight attendant) has become an icon for disgruntled employees everywhere. Elyse Porterfield was the actress playing the part within the Jenny DryErase jobs, as reported by TheChive.com Wednesday morning.
TheChive.com hires Elyse Porterfield for latest hoax
Two brother work together to run TheChive.com as a humor site. First the “Jenny DryErase” joke was thought up and then done by the boys who hired Elyse Porterfield to play the part. Elyse Porterfield moved to Los Angeles from Colorado and is an actress. Her attractiveness is undeniable, and a Facebook group encouraging “Jenny DryErase” to pose for Playboy gained many supporters.
Humorous hoaxes in history
“Jenny DryErase” is far from the first humorous hoax that was picked up as a “real” news story. Generally these stories are picked up easily after being posted online. One of these is the Donald Trump Tip hoax saying an $82 tip was left by Trump as a tip. It can also be seen on TheChive.com’s previous hoax, the “Teen Texting Disaster.”. It all is done the very same way which involves taking something that could possibly be real, mixing it with an attractive woman or famous person and putting it out to the public.
Elyse Porterfield gets job offers
TheChive gets a lot of advertising to their website from “humor hoaxes” like this. Colorado is where Elyse Porterfield was raised even though she now works in Los Angeles. In the past she has been hired as an Angelina Jolie look-alike. This had made her more popular with more than 3,000 likes on her page now. TheChive.com got its name out as a hoax and comedy website, but this upstart actress may truly be the one to benefit from “Jenny DryErase.”
