INTERNET CELEBRITIES: Smiley Chinese iPhone Girl
A month ago, she was a nobody, toiling in an iPhone factory in Shenzen in Southern China, but she’s rapidly becoming internet-famous thanks to a cheeky smile and v-sign to a co-worker on the production line.

Other users of the forum were worried that the girl might be fired over the incident, but a Foxconn representative has confirmed that “She is definitely not fired”. They declined the name her, but if I know the internet, I’m sure it won’t be long before someone tracks her down.
