China’s
biggest blog host Sina has recently upgraded its blogging system. A
bug in the new system has caused some revealing and laughable
accidents: The real identities of some of the fans who post sugary
comments anonymously on some entertainment celebrities’ blogs were
revealed, and turned out to be the celebrities themselves.
Self-promotion
and egos aside, it seems curious that these celebrities would waste
their precious time engaging in this kind of childish behavior.
Jin
Sha, a singer, actress and one of the self-commenting bloggers, wrote
on her blog about her feeling after what she did was exposed.
It
was when I opened my blog and few people knew about it, so I just
entertained myself a little bit with those anonymous posts. I didn’t
expect that when it was upgraded, anonymous comment became "posted
by hosts". So embarrassing.
The
image above is a screen grab of Jin’s own ‘fan’ comments:
–
You are so cute behaving like a little boy.
– I love you!! My
whole class love you!
– Jin Sha sister you are my favorite star,
all boys
