I just saw Catfish on HBO docs, and I too was taken in by the story of this incredible 8 yr old artist...I wanted to believe it was Megan on that mp3..I believed Angela Pierce until they visited the horse farm. Call me a "true believer" or a "dweeb", but I was disappointed when they Angela opened the door too. This was NOT to "coffee elite" or "metropolitan" for a country girl from KY to watch and enjoy, and the way they ended the film in kindness was nicely done if maybe a bit contrived. He is still friends with Angela at the end of this piece. That may also be contrived, but what a great way to leave it.
