Employees have really been looking up the Jenny DryErase and also the Slater, the Jetblue flight attendant, as icons when it comes to their jobs. On Wednesday morning, TheChive.com revealed that the whole Jenny DryErase story was a hoax, with actress Elyse Porterfield playing the part of Jenny.
Elyse Porterfield gets hired on by TheChive.com to be a part of a joke
TheChive.com is a site all about jokes that is run by two brothers. First the “Jenny DryErase” joke was thought up and then done by the boys who hired Elyse Porterfield to play the part. Elyse Porterfield moved to Los Angeles from Colorado and is an actress. Her attractiveness is undeniable, and a Facebook group encouraging “Jenny DryErase” to pose for Playboy gained numerous supporters.
Humorous hoaxes in the past
“Jenny DryErase” is far from the first humorous hoax that was picked up as a “real” news story. Generally these stories are picked up quickly after being posted online. One of these is the Donald Trump Tip hoax saying an $82 tip was left by Trump as a tip. It can also be seen on TheChive.com’s previous hoax, the “Teen Texting Disaster.”. Either way, it’s a formula that has been used many times: take something seemingly real, mix it with something believable but slightly out there and add in a famous figure or attractive woman.
Elyse Porterfield fielding job offers
”Humor hoaxes” like this are great for benefiting TheChive in its advertising. Elyse Porterfield is an actress who was born and raised in Colorado and has been working in Los Angeles. She gets hired as an Angelina Jolie look-alike occasionally. This had made her more popular with more than 3,000 likes on her page now. TheChive.com got its name out as a hoax and comedy site, but this upstart actress may truly be the one to benefit from “Jenny DryErase.”
