Blah Girls, from Kutcher's point of view, is surely a flop, having failed to stay afloat atop Google News and Twitter. But the fake behind-the-scenes clips Kutcher's crew post to YouTube are in some ways better than The Office. These guys are from Hollywood, so they always know where their third act is. Too bad they can't teach it to Sequoia.

In a telling moment at a "VIP" party for TechCrunch50, Michael Arrington's startup conference taking place this week in San Francisco, an attendee tried to explain Scoble's notoriety to fading film star Demi Moore. Moore was on hand to promote her hubby Ashton Kutcher's new Web show Blah Girls. The actress, like most of America, had never heard of the ruddy, flaxen-haired Fast Company videoblogger. More surprising was Scoble's confession that he hadn't recognized Moore, either. Which makes me think of a new motto for the 250, Valleywag's term for the Valley's self-appointed, self-obsessed inside crowd: "You don't know us, and we don't know you."
