But while Jake had a suit, a tie, and a car, the one thing he didn’t have was a date . So after some of the girls he knew　 turned him down , Jake decided¹ he’d invite the most beautiful girl he could imagine – world famous 20-year old model Kate Upton.

 

Of course you can’t just walk up to one of the most glamorous² women in the world and ask them for a date – at least not if you want to get the right answer. In this day and age there is another way- YouTube.

 

Jake and his friends made a funny 2-minute video inviting³ Kate to go out with him . Jake expected to get a few laughs , and then it would be over . Instead, over two million people watched his video, including, you guessed it Kate Upton. And Kate was so flattered⁴ by the attention that she went on TV and said she’d really go out with Jake … if she could fit it into her schedule .

 

In the end , Kate couldn’t make the date , and Jake had to ask a girl closer to home . But the moral of this story is : in the era of the Internet, almost anything you imagine is possible , if you can just get two million people to follow you .
