Laina Morris
Laina Morris (born June 22, 1991) is a YouTuber and the creator of the viral fictional character Overly Attached Girlfriend, often abbreviated to OAG, an Internet meme originating in a YouTube video published on June 6, 2012. The video was a submission to a contest held by Justin Bieber who challenged fans to create a "Girlfriend" counterpart to his hit song "Boyfriend". The video, which satirized elements of the Bieber song that have been perceived as clingy, featured the woman staring at the camera with a fixed smile while singing about Facebook-stalking her boyfriend and other themes.〔Wenjia Zhao.

The "Girlfriend" video launched Morris into internet stardom. As of October 23, 2015, her YouTube channel has over 1,282,000 subscribers and over 142,900,000 views. Her username is still "wzr0713" officially, but her display name now identifies her as "Laina". The video was noticed by the social news website reddit and quickly became popular, gaining more than 170,000 views the first day.〔Ileana Llorens.

Arising from the success of the video, 'OAG' became an Internet meme that features the image macro of the young woman featured in the video, smiling and staring manically at the camera that has been captioned in a way that portrays her to be a stalker, jealous, or committed to her love interest to an unhealthy degree.〔George Jones. ("Viral: Do not date this girl ... ever". ) ''WIS'', June 14, 2012.〕〔("Meet 'Overly Attached Girlfriend!' Hilarious Justin Bieber cover version spawns hundreds of Internet memes". ) ''Daily Mail'', June 18, 2012.〕 The image still came from the video and was made into an image macro which also became very popular and spread across many social media websites〔Fruzsina Eördögh. ("Bieber girlfriend contest spawns Overly Attached Girlfriend meme". ) ''The Daily Dot'', June 7, 2012.〕 and was remixed in various ways.〔Lorraine Murphy. ("The Morning GIF: Overly Attached Girlfriend". ) ''The Daily Dot'', June 8, 2012.〕〔Alexander Abad-Santos, Jen Doll. ("What Type of Attachment Dater Are You?". ) ''The Atlantic Wire'', June 12, 2012.〕
Morris has continued to produce further videos, approximately once a week. While some feature the OAG persona, many branch out from the OAG format, including charity fundraising and attempts to interview celebrities on the red carpet at the AMAs. Exactly a year after the initial JB fan video, Morris had over 595,000 subscribers and 76,500,000 views on YouTube. A week after, her subscriber count went up to 605,000 and the views rose to 77,400,000, with the initial JB fan video holding 15,600,000 of those views and her follow-up CRJ fan video holding 18,600,000 views.
