But she's accurate

Caterina Fake is one of the co-founders of Flickr, which ought to have made her famous.

And he'd probably never watched the show, either.

Someone (Playboy?) once reported that a fellow in the Carolinas (I think), wanting to avoid paying for an unlisted number, asked the local telco to list his number under "Butthead, Bevis T." He'd never seen MTV in his life.
