Damn you, Internet! *shakes fist and purses lips* We don't think it's real. As much as we really want to believe that Jenny really did quit her job via dry erase board photos (while simultaneously exposing her boss's addiction to Farmville to the whole company and becoming a hero for scorned employees worldwide), we just can't.
ANOTHER UPDATE: We just spoke with Elyse Porterfield, the girl who played Jenny. Check it out here.

Here's why:

That's a screengrab from a casting agency in L.A. (thanks to @fekauff for tipping us off) looking for a model to play the part. And let's not forget who we're dealing with here -- the dudes behind The Chive were also responsible for making up the story about Donald Trump tipping $10K at a restaurant back in 2007. Plus, there's already a Facebook group called 1,000,000 Strong for Jenny DryErase to Pose in Playboy, and while people are quick to jump on the bandwagon, that's really quick. We're calling shenanigans.
Still believing? Look at her perfect hair and the fact that there are ENCYCLOPEDIAS ON HER BOOKSHELF (Really? A 20-something has the complete Encyclopedia Britannica set on display?) It's pretty clear that it's staged. And besides -- who else besides a model or actress can control her facial expressions that well? We sure can't make those looks on command.
Well played, Internet. Well played.
P.S.: You can still make your own Jenny dry erase board. Don't bottle up that aggression.
UPDATE: The Chive posted an article today confirming that it was indeed a hoax. Check out our interview with the actress behind the hoax, Elyse Porterfield.

I don't know. This article sounds like age discrimination. So what if a young woman has encyclopedias on her entertainment center? I've collected classic books since I was a teenager - and I'm only 26. Not to mention, who's to say she doesn't live at home? For all we know this could be her mom's apartment.
And it doesn't take long for FaceBook clubs to pop up. Less than five minutes, actually. Seeing as this article aired hours ago, I think it's fair that the page already exists.
AND OF COURSE IT IS STAGED. As in, this girl thought this up, wrote things down, picked out her clothes, all in order to send a message. You don't have to be ugly to be clever, or to come up with a plan. Also, there are plenty of goofy people out there who know how to hold a pose for a camera - again, look at FaceBook. Plus with everyone owning a digital camera it's not so far fetched that these pictures were the best of the shots she took.
Maybe it is real...maybe it isn't. But bottom line - it's still AWESOME.

A quote for you:
"The great thing about being a pessimist is that you're either proven right, or pleasantly surprised."
That's why I'd rather be suspicious of how "real" this is. If I'm wrong, it's a pleasant surprise. If I'm right, then....yay I was right!

But she didn't think of it. The guys at The Chive did.

My goodness you are young! Six matching books does not make a complete set of encyclopedias! My 1960 World Book Encyclopedia set has 27 volumes which includes a 2 volume dictionary and hopelessly outdated atlas. For basic info on anything predating 1960 I can still look it up faster in the encyclopedia than I can by logging on, finding the appropriate heading( hoping it doesn't give my computer a virus) and sifting through article after article that may or may not give me what I want.

I do beleive that anyone that beleives a person in their early 20's can not own a set of encylopidias, and put on a hapy yet sarcastic facial expression has issues about their own ability to better themselves. I have own Encyclopedies since I was 15, I am now 49, as for the facial expression, If you thank a nice looking woman like that can not pull it off, then there is no longer any doubt as to why you do not have a family of your own and feel the need to be critical about others that can read and make faces.

I said I owned a set of encyclopedias, Yea I tend to misspell that word and maybe a few others, and could read them, I did not on the other hand claim I could type.
