How to start a sex scandal [Intermediate]
Prerequisite: Release of nude or semi-nude pictures via the internet, preferably your own.
1. Make a short film that involves about 10 percent dialog, 30 percent creepy angst and 60 percent skin. It's a favor for a friend! You're a notoriously friendly guy!
2. Watch as -- in an entirely predictable turn of events -- a preview for that film eventually gets posted online, a blogger skips over the plot, multiple camera angles and actual moderate-quality production values and lauds your latest adventure as a sex tape. [Not so safe for work, duh.]
3. Do your best to check out for the holiday weekend as 30 seconds of your "sex tape" gets close to 2 million hits on YouTube. (The full-length version can be downloaded -- PCs only -- for $3 or the use of a few clever search terms on a file-trading site. But essentially all the sex shots are in the preview.)
4. Use your blog to deny making a sex tape:
there is no pete wentz sex tape in existence. about a year and a half ago i took part in an indie gore/horror short film as a favor to my friend nathan- called goodnight moon. either way im not into being an actor or having a sex tape either sooooooooo, hopefully u can deal with it....
5. Crush hearts, destroy dreams, pervert memories of childhood literary classics. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

All joking aside, I love the PSAs Pete and Out 100 honoree Beth Ditto made about online bullying.
Pete wants us to remember that, "Anything that you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it online on the computer. I think that everyone kind of gets an ego boost from doing something like that. We've all done it from time to time. For the most part, if you realize that you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't do it online."
And Beth says, "There's so much more to do in life. Come be a chubby kid with me! Make music and make art. Don't make your friends cry!"
