This week, Amanda Seyfried shared her favorite Mean Girls quote [1] — "If you're from Africa, why are you white?" — giving us yet another excuse to relive the movie's best moments. It's been a decade since we first fell in love with Mean Girls [2], and back when the film hit theaters on April 30, 2004, we were busy telling everyone how *~oBsEsSeD~* we were via our melodramatic away messages. The movie brought Tina Fey [3]'s trademark SNL wit to the silver screen, and suddenly we couldn't stop reciting lines from the Plastics. In true early-2000s fashion, a lot of those hilarious one-liners also made their way into our online chats, so it feels only right to imagine some ridiculous away messages inspired by the characters. Channeling the glory days of IM chats, we came up with screen names for each character, then imagined what they might have written for their away messages. ~ BRB ~
