TheChive.com uses Elyse Porterfield to make their joke
Two brother work together to run TheChive.com as a humor website. First the “Jenny DryErase” joke was thought up and then done by the boys who hired Elyse Porterfield to play the part. Elyse Porterfield is an actress that had just lately moved to Los Angeles from Colorado. She is a quite cute girl meaning the new Facebook group suggesting “Jenny DryErase” pose for Playboy has a ton of followers already.
Humorous hoaxes in the past
The “real” news story has had other hoaxes done besides “Jenny DryErase” before. Individuals post their stories online to have them instantly picked up for a hoax. 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 numerous times: take something seemingly real, mix it with something believable but slightly out there and add in a famous figure or attractive woman.

TheChive gets a lot of advertising to their website from “humor hoaxes” like this. Elyse Porterfield is an actress who was born and raised in Colorado and has been working in Los Angeles. In the past she has been hired as an Angelina Jolie look-alike.
