Gothamist happened to post something about Hilary Duff's Lizzie McGuire Movie poster and suddenly the comments are now the place for her fans to tell Hilary how much they love her, how beautiful they think she is, how they would like her to call/email/contact them somehow. It's also the place for her detractors are scoff her fans and cause trouble. (Gothamist thinks they find their way here after doing Google searches on Hilary Duff's breasts.) All in all, it's comedy gold, as reader Wesley commented. To wit, here is a typical comment:

It flatters us to no end that the kids think Hilary is reading this site...but as another reader Tyler fretted whether this really is America's youth, Gothamist is worried. Especially since there's a bit of name calling that makes us crazy (it's totally unconstructive name calling - Gothamist has nothing against witty, with-good-reason name calling). We're not sure if we're supposed to get parental on these kids, because God knows we're immature, or if we should just let them get it out of their system. And Hilary, if you're reading this, please let us know what you would like to do about it. Email us!

Given the apparently age of some of these posters, Jen, I think you might have a COPPA violation on your hands.
Augh!! Thanks, Anil, and where the hell is my publisher?
Jen, UR sooooo cool! Do U know Hilary?
im not goin 2 b sooo cool when the feds are on my ass over coppa.
I am worried. Is it the assumption that they are actually talking to Hilary Duff, or the disconnect with reality, or simply the blind faith that she'll read their comments, call them and live happily ever after? I'm not sure which.
But I do check the thread everyday, thankfully, your top stories box makes that easy.
It's like watching a terrible social experiment.
Thank you Gothamist, thank you. ;)
rats! i missed observing the terrible social experiment due to fears about coppa and i don't even think i understand what coppa is. those kids are delusional though if they think little miss duff will ever reply to them this way. sad. very sad. hilarious (and so weird!) though that duff fans are using gothamist to claim their love.
Sophie, I put them back up. I can't make up my mind about it. So see it while you can now!
don't quote me on this, but i believe the law only pertains to requesting personally-identifiable information from children under 13- i don't think you have a problem if it is inadvertantely supplied without request.
Yeah, I emailed with Anil after I freaked out about it and he said he was sort of kidding, so the comments are back up. But I still feel icky about them.
I wrote about Sharron Osbornes fight with terminal cancer once and I got tones of stupic comments from people trying to write her about quack cures. There are some really really stupid people who are not on the net. I started a special page just for these kind of stupid comments. I also get people trying to email Jackie Chan and Velma from Scooby Doo
I think about u alot.
My teen boy decoder ring says this means "I masturbate often to a nude picture of you I downloaded off of the Web". Perhaps that should be a checkbox on that thread going forward? Might eliminate a lot of redundancy.
jkottke - good idea. I'd like to add "U R SOOOO HOT" and "I luv U" to the checkboxes.
And Jake of 8bitjoystick.com, I love the stupid comments page idea. I got an email from a 53 yr old person yesterday, asking me how I could be so depressing cynical at such a young age, based on my post about James Lipton. I wanted to say, "I just call it like I see it - it's called the truth." Jake said I should write, "It's the booze I drink and violent movies I watch - why are you such a pussy?"
I was going to comment that at least Marcus had the good sense to write "urs" instead of "ur's," which would have been grammatically incorrect, but then I realized from his repeated use of "im" that the apostrophe key is probably just broken on his keyboard (and the shift key appears to be a bit on the fritz as well), and given the opportunity, he probably would have written "ur's" after all.
Oy, kids these days.
I don't think these kids know what the apostrophe key is, quite frankly. I remember an article that stated kids would write their papers in that teen leet speak.
Also, who's going to be the first to get the hduff2003 AIM account, IM with the posters in that thread, and post the transcripts to the Web?
Is it just me or are kids getting so friggin' lazy that they won't even take the time to type complete words? They're Hoodlums, I tell you, with their jean pants and their portable radios playing that dirty, dirty rock and roll !
I was going to post to that thread, but then I thought that it might violate the restraining order so I didn't.
Just noticed that the Hilary Duff post has reached the 100th post mark. Woo-Hoo! Congratulations, Jen!
That's some deep-fried comedy right there.
Come now, Jen: it's "L337 5p34k," and you know it.
A handy lame-speak-to-L337-5p34k translator
This two year old piece I posted has been steadily getting some of these ridiculously silly comments over the last couple of months. Not on the same scale as the Hilary Duff posters, but equally inane.
dear hilary,
i think ur HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
can u email me back at silverarrow150@hotmail.com?
will u go out with me
(just jokin')
luv ya,
mark
hey
when are u comin out with another movie?
luv ya
mark
Those were totally bogus. I could tell by the apostrophe.
GUYS! I'm waxing my pug!
Whatever.
Q: What's 25 feet long and has no pubic hair?
A: The first 10 rows of seats at the next Lizzie McGuire movie.
...Is this thing on? Wow, tough crowd.
Hey you might think this is another person pretending to be hillary duff, but it's not. This is actually Hillary duff pretending to be a 20 year old man who is pretending to be Hillary Duff.
The other day I was just hanging out in my underwear that says Thursday and my The Strokes t-shirt on thinking about how I wish I could hang with my fans. I'm always on tour and would love to hook up with local fans. after the show we could race golf carts in the halls of the stadium. it's like totaly major fun. Maybe we could play playstaion or just IM. you could be all "gey gurl 'sup?"
and I would be all "nuttin much jus' hangin' out in orlando FLA giving screches little brother a hojo."
and you would be all"word? oh snap hill you are the itshay!"
and I'd be all "yeah but you got to keep it on the DL cause my publicist doesn't know. you know how it is."
So send me a email and we can hang.
i thought hilary spellt her name hilary not hillary
it is spelled Hilary, i think that ws a fake
I'd like to say waz up to all my fans!!! You guys are the bomb-shiznit-diggity. Please ignore those other imposters. I just got done watching the VMA's and they were soooo dope! Madonna, Britney and Christina are like living legends! Anyway, gotta run.. I just bought my new ride and I gotta take it for a spin to the set of the movie we're filming. Oh, life is soooo crazy when you have to balance a tv, music and film career... ugh.. you guys will just never know!!!!!!
bye x-o-x-o!!
Hilary Duff

Please write my back and think about this. Luke doesnt know i am trying to do this for him and i will be dissapointed if you cant do it. I hope this gets to you.

Duff has gotten our attention. As I travel the world I get sick knowing that she's driving that damn car while children are dropping dead everywhere I turn. Make sure you're happy Duff. Make sure that you continue to make such an amazing impression on our youth today. You're just like all the rest. SELFISH!

LOVE NELLY
I think its cool that Hilary takes the time to read posts. Most celebrities just ignore all articles and fan mail. Some are hate mail, some are teenage boys declaring their love.
Hilary Duff's coming to Australia! So yay. On Tuesday, at the Arias at the Sydney Olympic Park.
I think this is absolutely wrong HIlary Duff is a sweet 16 year old just trying to do her best in life! and here I see people lying about her. You don't even know her. I met her and she is very sweet. She isn't trying to show-off, people keep bugging her, give her a break she has it hard enough and I suggest that people get to know her the way I do. I know everything about her and she is really a sweet girl.
Guys, none of you will meet her period.
no s#!t but hay 22nd pit street mall weeeeeeeee

What a bunch of suck-ups... and I'm nearly close to their age. Who honestly cares about Hilary Duff? She's only an actress still trying to make it big by manufacturing herself like her clothing line, makeup, etc. I hope these people grow up someday.
