Subway Cyrano Sells Out!

After making a big, illustrated statement on his website yesterday about not speaking another word about his underground love, too precious for the press -- Patrick Moberg talked to the New York Post. People read that newspaper Patrick! And word is the Blackbook employee who found her is going to be on Good Morning America tomorrow. Could Patraussie be next up to hit the small screen? (UPDATE: both are confirmed to be on GMA tomorrow!)

Given his want to keep a lid on the developing "relationship" and given her interest in theater and her extra-status on the Sex and the City movie, we're going to go ahead and say that Ms. Right may just be looking for a way to catapult some sort of career. She sure stepped into the right subway car at the right time!

The relationship now seems doomed before the two even meet (which is apparently this weekend for "coffee"). Our money is on him ending up with one of the girls who wrote him after seeing his site, at least -- that's how it will end in the romantic comedy starring Zach Braff. And the other half of the two-some? Ms. Camille Hayton is the rosy-cheeked, journal-writing, flowers-in-hair Aussie who started this whole thing, and according to the Post she's "a theater, art and photography student who graduated from University of California at Santa Cruz." The Post also pointed out that Camille is on Facebook, and to the right is one of the nearly 300 photos of her on that site. Apparently it took her a while to find the perfect hair accessory.

Whatever, we're still rooting for them.

I know Neil, but Gothamist is a good place to release anger. I use Gothamist instead of a machete.

Neil Epstein

RoDogg - You couldn't be more wrong.

I said it from the start that this wasn't no signs of true love, just a guy seeking a booty call, when is Gothamist going to start listening to me. And for all the stupid girls out there who thought this guy was sooooo sweet and adorable for doing something like this, he basically said a big FUCK YOU to all of you ladies out there. I know all the girls who support this guy gotta feel stupid as fuck. This guy is now going to make money and fame out of this and not really caring for the lady he pursued. I really don't care for this guy or what he is doing, if you have the ball you run with it. I just find it funny to see how many girls out there just jump on this guy bandwagon and now he turns around and decides to start talking to the media and press and making dollars off this. This guy is gonna milk the cow and some time next week he'll find another dream girl.

cool

anyone who says a volkswagon is a fun ride, doesn't drive nice cars much.

(maintain metaphor, please)

In my mind, there's only 1 thing worst than a Hollywood Star, and that's a Reality Show Star... oh wait maybe it's a C Grade internet celebrity... AKA This douche bag who's stalking young girls on the tube.

The sad thing is, he's a broken hearted young teenager searching for love.

Peter Saville

Oh McGG - I second all your comments.

Peter Saville

All those Vemio people make me want to puke, this is just another cheap PR stunt or another chance to get 5 minutes of fame.

I see a million attractive girls on the train, but I try keep my stalking to a minimum.

McGG

She only loked really cute in that one picture, considering he looks like a troll, they will be perfect together.

AnnaZed

Wait, hasn't this already been exposed as a culturejam/scam/attention getting stunt?

mrpink

shes cute and cuddly looking probably built like a volkswagon beetle, nice curves fun ride I bet ..

jammer

I just vomited all over my keyboard and monitor.

HughGass

But ... I'd still hit it.

mrpink

I guess its something " cute" to read about to take away the attention from the war, the failing dollar, the $100 barrels of oil etc.. She looks a little psycho with all that weird shit shoved in her head. I'm still calling this whole caper a con but god bless their ingeniuty.

HughGass

NO FAT CHICKS

Considering how cynical I've been about the situation, you guys are just mean. She's a cutie pie.

Well except for those ghastly minnie mouse ears.

Dude69

Moral barometer! I couldn't care less what the commenters and these two hipsters do, just keeping it real, that's all.

JenChungsBaby

That's the same girl? Did someone beat her with an ugly stick?

Roger McDowell

Commenter #11's name is "dude69" and he's trying to be gothamists commentering moral barometer. Hilarious.

jibbly

Synchronize your stop watch for 15 minutes...now.

Dude69

It's lucky for him that the exposure is probably good for her career path. Otherwise I suggest she sues him for everything he's got, for the invasion of privacy and stress. Stupid commenters who support this think they are living in a Romantic comedy or something.

gossipgirl

You people are unbelievable.

Watch Good Morning America tomorrow and then judge.

Aristocrat

#7, Try 50 pounds, or 3.5 stone, in her vernacular. The difference between the first pic and this one is like the difference between the pic posted on a match.com profile and what you get when you meet in person. SURPRISE!

TT

wow...here it comes...

burgerdeluxe

#5 -- she looks about 20-30 pounds different.

FromtheFuture

I totally saw the dude on the subway last night. Of course I was blind to the fact that I was sitting next to Brandy at the airport bar, but recognize 20-something internet celebrities.

Rocknrope

Um....is that the same girl I saw in the original discovery post? She looks......different.

babyhitler

see I told you, publicity stunt. Moberg works for Vimeo with Jakob Lodwick who is good friends with Gothamist Personnel and IAC. they are huge attention whores.
