Interview With "Switcher Girl" Ellen Feiss 351
Ed over in Accounting writes in with a Macinstein interview with Ellen Feiss, an Internet cult figure of a bygone era. Back in 2002, in the heyday of Apple's "Switcher" ads, the 14-year-old Feiss garnered a bit more than 15 minutes of fame. Her Switcher ad became an instant classic — partly because of the widespread belief that she was stoned while filming it, which she says was not the case. In the interview Feiss, who is now a college student with one movie behind her, talks about pseudo Internet fame, drugs, and acting. She says she's still using the same G4 she had when the ad ran. Nostalgia bonus: the ad is embedded at the end of the interview.

Macenstein: What do you think of the newly announced Apple iPhone?
Ellen: Sounds expensive.

Don't fall in! The lips aren't that unattractive, either. Ok, yeah, the rest may not be so hot (I've not seen any of her 'film acumen') but that much, at least, is.

Yeah, I agree, PCs should really stop sucking. However, I wonder why you're telling that to us. Most of us aren't working on Windows.

Naw, it's because drugs are cool man. Didn't you know, it's ok for people to be stoned while using heavy equipment or taking care of your bank accounts. Nothing wrong with that. It's like, the thing to do to escape and relax.
Besides, what do you care if the guy next to you is doing coke? Just because he gets a bad batch and flips out on your ass doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It's like, you know, just one of those things.
