Hello and happy post Superbowl Monday! I’m sure all the fans of [insert winning sports team here] are living it up today, while the poor fans of [insert losing sports team here] are nursing vengeful hangovers. If, like me, you still haven’t figured out who was playing yet, we’ve got all sorts of coverage coming your way this afternoon. In the meantime, it’s time for the lunchtime poll!
You are given the choice of being internet famous for one of the following accomplishments, which do you choose and why do you choose it?
1. You’re caught on video doing something incredibly embarrassing and it becomes viral.
2. You’re mistaken for a celebrity’s fling who shares your name, the internet descends upon your social media accounts like a vulture.
3. An angry and/or drunken email you accidentally sent “reply all” is the biggest thing on all the big sites for several days in a row.

Definitely number 2, but number 3 is more likely to happen.
I’m going with angry drunken email – I’m my most wordsmithy in that state and am likely to produce something I don’t mind the rest of the world reading.
#2 all the way, because then at least I’ve not done anything to deserve the infamy. And once news gets out about the mistake, hundreds of people will be at fault and not me!
Option 2, all the way. At least then, you bear no responsibility for the embarrassing thing that got you noticed. And it’s likely to go away quickly once people realize you’re not who they mistook you for.
Lucky numbah two!
Accidental infamy is better that actual infamy… :)
I need to know what sort of embarrassing thing as per choice 1 and which celebrity for choice 2, because the latter is my inclination if I’m suspected of dating Someone Fantastic. However, I would rather #1 if it’s more like caught naked with Someone Fantastic vs. suspected of dating Mel Gibson.
The horrible prospects for each one are kind of fun to ponder
Any chance of a book deal from #3? Then I’d be on that one. Especially if I’m really funny.
Otherwise, celebrity fling would be fun. Maybe the celebrity could even confuse me for the other person? (Depending on who it is).
Tough choice. I used to have nightmares about hidden cameras in my house, so #1 is out. I think I would like to be mistaken for a celebrity fling. Sure there would be thousands of jealous fangirls calling me fat and complaining that they would be a better choice, but the photoshop possibilities would be hilarious.
#2 for sure! If its a popular celeb, work it and go with it. If not, go into social media hiding and deny deny deny.
I’m gonna go with the drunken email because that sounds like it might be hilarious. Or mortifying. Or both.
