(Coming from a nobody reading HN at night this might be ironic, but) She seems to be a nobody++ type person that is all too common in circles where people are loosely coupled and you can fake/social-engineer your way in. BTW, I totally understand inflating your impact on projects and even a little bit getting creative with titles on LinkedIn to make oneself more important. But Photoshopping yourself? To Timberlake? If it were pg I'd understand, but this is just sad.

- peterhajas 14y agoBecause people here love the guy, regardless of his conspiracies about McDonalds franchises.
- rdl 14y agoI think Jun8 meant that photoshopping yourself onto a photo with pg is less pathetic than photoshopping yourself onto a photo with JT. pg = actually relevant to startups, and it's highly plausible for someone (especially someone working for YC companies) to meet him and potentially take a photo with him. I'd sort of assume some slight endorsement if a consultant 1) knew who pg was 2) met him and got a photo, whereas a photo with JT is just Hollywood celebrity namedropping. (Ashton Kutcher, who is a legitimate tech investor in his own right, is different) (unless you were jokingly misunderstanding this for comedic effect)
- ricardonunez 14y agoJT did invest in myspace. Does it count?
- Jun8 14y agoYou're right, that would be more sad!
