The Pretty Face On All The Fake News Sites

Posted on Apr 25, 2011 in The World Wide Web | 13 comments

Whether it’s aunt jenny’s dirty little secret to weight loss, granny’s 1 weird old unique fancy trick to a wrinkle free face, or hulk hogans muscle mass supplement that’s 43x more effective than steroids, you’ll see Melissa Theuriau’s face on all the landing pages as the news reporter! Maybe it’s just because she’s good looking, maybe her face increases conversion rates, or maybe 1 or 2 people used it and every other page is copied from those. Whatever it is, her face is everywhere and she can’t do too much about it.

Who is Melissa Theuriau? (from wikipedia.com)
(born 18 July 1978 in Échirolles, Isère) is a French journalist and news anchor for M6. She studied Journalism and became a newscaster on TV. She became an internet phenomenon when a compilation of her reading news was uploaded and newspapers voted her the world’s most beautiful news reporter. She currently is co-editor in chief and anchor of Zone interdite on French TV.

Mélissa Theuriau has become an internet phenomenon, with fans uploading video compilations receiving millions of hits from admirers. Theuriau is reportedly surprised by this phenomenon, stating, “I cannot explain it…I am absolutely not seeking this publicity.”

In 2010 scam websites started using her photo to promote health treatments and penny auctions.

I’m sure she’s not interested, but just in case I’d like to cordially invite Melissa for an interview to find out her take on having her pics plastered everywhere by online marketers.
