This was bound to happen, so don't pretend like you'd never hear about her again. Yes, the one and only Hipster Grifter, Kari Ferrell, has returned. She's actually probably still in Utah facing charges, but that isn't stopping the fat cats in Hollywood from capitalizing on her storyline. Gawker hears that "Law & Order has put out a confidential casting call for someone who sounds a lot like Kari Ferrell. The show is said to be seeking Asian females, 25-29, to play a con artist who claims she needs money for kidney treatments. Under the force of her irresistible charms, men fork over cash." Casting gods: please let them cast Kari herself; only one person can come up with and deliver mouth handjob lines with such effortless diction.
