Firstly, the picture she used is giving the wrong instruction with regards to the slitting of the wrists. You are not supposed to cut across the wrist, but to cut downwards along the blood vessels - down the river and not across the street.
The girl’s blog is here. She registered a domain name at www.90dayjane.com.
The blog reminded me of the movie ‘Untraceable‘ starring Diane Lane. The movie is about a killer who uses contraptions that kill the victim based on the number of hits a site gets. The site is www.killwithme.com.
The movie tries to be a social commentary on Internet schadenfreude - the comments on the blog of the girl trying to kill herself are examples of our culture’s propensity to watch and even enjoy other people’s misery. In this case, the girl might be as she claims - not depressed, but I believe that our fascination with her is really about how we perceive her as a miserable train wreck waiting to happen.
Some people have speculated that it might just all be one big ‘viral campaign’.
This girl is going to be like the fat ugly girl on the MRT with a mega wart on her face. Nothing nice to see and impolite to stare, I’ll turn away but probably keep turning back just to see that wart which for some inexplicable reason has me in its thrall.
In case you are wondering, there are no movies opening on the 4th of May.
