Sherry Sherrie is the leader of the group. She is the only smart one and bosses the other sisters around. She likes Fresh Market, and looks like one of those incredibly hot girls on Urbandictionary, with the text above her name there being "Busted Tees. They Look Good on Girlfriends Too".


Mary Sherrie is the lesbian one. She is still a hottie, although lesbians suck. She seems to be very bossy but is often punished for this by Sherry.


== Notes ==
Gugenhugenlugen Sherrie is the final one. She is very sexy and submissive, and looks like the other "Busted Tees" girl. She is the least important.

Brian Chase (born circa 1967) is a United States citizen who posted false information on Misplaced Pages, which led to the John Seigenthaler Sr. Misplaced Pages biography controversy.

Chase was the operations manager of Rush Delivery in Nashville, Tennessee when he anonymously posted to Misplaced Pages from his employer's IP address on May 26, 2005. His post stated that John Seigenthaler Sr., a former editor of The Tennessean in Nashville, was believed to have been involved in the assassinations of both John and Robert Kennedy and had lived in the Soviet Union for several years. The article remained unedited for several months until Seigenthaler was made aware of the article and subsequently criticized Misplaced Pages in several media outlets.

Chase learned of the effect of his post through the news. Meanwhile, the IP address he had used was traced back to his company by Daniel Brandt, a commentator regarding privacy issues and the World Wide Web and a critic of Misplaced Pages. Chase resigned from Rush Delivery on 9 December and delivered a handwritten apology that day to Seigenthaler. Chase said he had done it as a joke to shock a colleague, after he had found out anyone could edit Misplaced Pages; he thought that it was a "gag" web site. Seigenthaler encouraged Chase's boss to not accept his resignation.
